Additional Information

Ideal for individual voyagers or small parties that don’t want to lease the whole boat, this close-knit tour possesses the benefits of a private journey without the corresponding expenditure. Our skipper acts as your guide, potentially identifying notable sites, celeb residences, or narrating his own lake tales. You’re welcome to bring your own drinks, including liquors, and don’t forget a camera to snap pictures of the lakeside cave identified as Little Venice.

The boat ride on Lake Austin departs from the Loop 360 Boat Ramp, situated beneath the Pennybacker Bridge’s southern terminus over Lake Austin. This three-acre park is mainly employed for lake access but also provides a grassy terrain for picnickers. Some bald cypress and sycamore trees thrive by the water’s brim.

Different boats are selected for this activity, and we endeavor to fulfill special seating preferences. Please inform us if you have companions booking separately you wish to be seated with. Given the event’s public character, pets are not permitted.

Beautiful Sunset Boat Cruise on Lake Austin - This small boat sunset cruise on Lake Austin was amazing. Vince was an excellent Captain, with incredible knowledge of the areas of the Lake that we visited. We will definitely book this trip with Vince again in the future!

Awesome - Travis was an amazing captain! The view was nice, and the overall experience was great! Only complaint is that the boat was slightly overbooked, we had to squeeze in the seats a bit.

Beautiful sunset and relaxing cruise. - Our sunset cruise was a truly memorable experience. Our driver and guide, Cam, was super friendly and chill, and pointed out some great photo ops along the way. We had the boat to ourselves (a couple traveling with another couple) which made the experience all the more special, and the sunset was absolutely beautiful! If you sit up front, you will be in the “splash zone” but on an evening where the temps were 100 degrees real-feel, it was refreshing!

Amazing Sunset Celebrations on Austin Lake! - A great way to spend a Friday evening. Loved the small group experience as it allowed Coach Phil to have great conversations with each of the guests. We timed pictures at the bridge at the perfect time and it was fun to find out where all the celebrities spend their free time! Guests brought their own cooler of beverages so it was special to share a glass of wine/beer as the sun set over the horizon! Thanks again!!
