If they were letting more than six people per barge travel that way, they would be afoul of Coast Guard regs.
Vessels having more than six passengers are required to meet a long list of additional regs. This is why small fishing charters are always advertised for 6 or fewer.
Additionally, most barges with a solid (non opening) upper deck are bulk liquid carriers, The most common bulk liquid?
Oil, or petroleum products with another set of regs including no open flames or sources of ignition.
There are some used for non petroleum liquids, molasses, and soybean oil as an example, but even then you still have the 6 passenger max issue.
