Today, the riverboats are owned and managed by Gus and Tammy Gaspardo, along with their team of experienced river professionals.

Tammy and Gus have been married for much of their careers, and over time the Bowell family adopted them— they purchased the company from them in 2016. Today, the family operates boats equipped with dance areas, bars, and sun decks, complete with a view of the Twin Cities' skyline and the green banks of the river as the backdrop.
