The Mississippi Belle was built and designed
right here in Brainerd, MN on the shores of Rice
Lake by Captain Nick Buffetta and his
Grandfather, Captain Harold Rademacher. They
began construction in 1999 and the boat was
completed in 2003 with the US Coast Guards
Certification. Captain Harold passed away in
2004, and the Mississippi Belle is now owned and
operated by Captain Nick. |
