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.

My dad and I absolutely loved our time on Lake Austin with Phil. We arrived to the park early and Phil texted us directly to direct us to the right pontoon-it was very easy to find! He greeted us warmly onto a very comfortable, spacious, and modern pontoon boat. He invited us to play our own music and offered us bottles of water. We were joined by a lovely family of four and because we were all early, Phil started the tour about 15 minutes early! The boat ride was very comfortable, Phil was easy company and made the trip so enjoyable. The weather was warm (mid July) and the clouds made for a wonderful sunset. Phil knew the right spots for the perfect pictures! I highly recommend you book this activity, my dad won’t stop talking about it!
