You have heard about them all of your life...maybe seen one in pictures or in the movies. It could be that you have even been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one in real life. That's what it had been like for me...until the day that I was introduced to the Betsy Ann Riverboat. For years I've been intrigued with these magnificent pieces of history, and often wondered what it would be like to get to ride on one...never imagining captaining or owning one. It sure is funny how times change....

 

It took 7 glorious days to bring her to Bay County / Panama City Beach Florida, down the Alabama River, across miles of beautiful countryside, through 3 locks, a few very tight bends in the river, across the Mobile Bay and up the intracoastal waterway to a ship yard who shall remain forever nameless. We spent the next 7 months tediously giving the Betsy Ann a complete face lift and beauty treatment.

Now she is ready to fill your mind with wonder and amazement as you step back in time aboard the Betsy Ann Riverboat. Come learn some of the history of riverboats, let your mind wander back to the time when steam driven paddle wheel boats actually built the original Hathaway Bridge. (It’s true)  You may even be lucky enough to spot some of our residednt dolphins!  It is curious to me now, when I drive her, to imagine how the captains of yesterday must have felt in a time where these machines were “Modern Marvels” As you come aboard the Betsy Ann Riverboat, please allow me to borrow a line from the wonderful Mr. Walt Disney...”Here you leave today, and enter a world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy!!!

Welcome aboard and Enjoy Your Adventure!!!
