Small-Group Public BYOB Sunset Boat Tour on Lake Austin

Small-Group Public BYOB Sunset Boat Tour on Lake Austin

Overview

Perfect for solo travelers or small groups who don’t want to rent the entire boat themselves, this intimate cruise offers the perks of a private cruise without the associated costs. Our captain serves as a tour guide who may point out landmarks, celebrity homes, or share their own personal stories from the lake. Bring your own drinks—alcoholic beverages welcome—and a camera to capture photos of the lakeside grotto known as Little Venice.

The Lake Austin cruise takes off from the Loop 360 Boat Ramp located below the southern end of Pennybacker Bridge over Lake Austin. This three-acre park is primarily used for lake access, but offers a grassy area for picnicking. A few bald cypress and sycamore trees grow along the water's edge.

Multiple boats are used for this event, we'll do our best to accommodate special seating requests. Please let us know if you have friends booking separately that you'd like to sit with.

Such a fun, relaxing evening. All you have to do is show up and sit down. Definitely recommend for families or date night! I brought 3 kids under the age of 8 and they loved it.

Absolutely loved the sunset tour!!! It was so beautiful and relaxing and such a plus to be able to bring our own drinks. Our guide was great at pointing out landmarks and keeping us entertained. Highly recommend this for anyone in Austin!! 1000% worth it.
