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.

Relaxing. Tranquil. The kids loved the waves. It was nice hearing the history of the lake and houses.

Colin was an amazing captain. He made it a fun tour and the whole group had a blast. He was energetic and went with the flow to make sure the entire group enjoyed and were safe. We were promised a fun captain and they delivered!!

Omg we had the best time!! Our captain was Cam and he was the best (we think we did better than the other boat!). We brought a bottle of wine and plastic cups and had more fun than we’ve had in a long time. Definitely do it if you can it’s a blast!
