Betsy Ann Riverboat - Mississippi Gulf Coast

03/25/2026

Everyone should follow the new Betsy Ann Riverboat page. We sold the boat 3 years ago after Dayna got sick. Ive had the pleasure of helping get her back in shape. The new owners have done a complete overhaul on her. She is absolutely beautiful inside and out. New cruises to begin soon in Lafitte LA. Just 15 minutes south of New Orleans. Hope to see yall there.

The Betsy Ann ⚓ isn’t just a riverboat. She’s part of a living legacy.

From her storied past to her next chapter in Lafitte, she’s returning to the bayou 🐊 to bring history, culture, and timeless moments back to the water!

Cruises are coming soon. Follow along and stay tuned for more.

Asking for prayers for the old man deckhand. Vince Elchos is in the hospital recovering from a bad traffic accident. A whole bunch of broken stuff but he will recover. Now my jokes about his old back will be true. Speedy recovery old friend.

GREAT NEWS!!! We just left the Nephrologist, ie kidney Dr. Dayna has progressed from near death from her Rhabdomyolysis and Kidney failure to now STAGE 3b Chronic Kidney Disease. We now have way more flexibility in what she can eat. Our focus now is to get weight back on her while still being cognizant of her kidneys inability to work completely. Her kidneys are now working at 35% thats a heck of a lot better than 5%.

The prayers from all over the world have help tremendously. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Stay tuned for future updates and some exciting news in the future.
