Betsey Northrup and Ugh the Tug
The party barge Betsey Northrup can be chartered separately powered by Ugh The Tug or in combination with the Anson Northrup. The Betsey carries 360 passengers and crew. The main deck is heated and air conditioned, as well as enclosed. It is our largest single room. The open second deck offers tremendous sightseeing. The barge is very quiet with the engines being on the push boat.
The Betsey Northrup now runs out of Harriet
Island in downtown St. Paul.
(Main deck 176/Second deck 128) Second deck is covered.
