Lake Austin Private Party Boat 2-Hour Swim, BYOB, Lily Pad
Overview
Cruise Lake Austin on a private pontoon party boat reserved exclusively for your group, with time to swim, float, relax, and enjoy your favorite drinks on the water. Perfect for birthdays, bachelorette and bachelor parties, graduations, and fun lake days with friends and family.
Enjoy a spacious, comfortable ride with an experienced, boat safety–certified captain, full or partial overhead shade, and a flexible itinerary tailored to your group’s pace. Anchor in a calm cove to swim and lounge on the included Aqua Lily Pad, or cruise past the Pennybacker Bridge, waterfront homes, and popular lakeside spots.
Lake Austin’s constant water level provides ideal conditions for swimming and floating, while the private boat setting lets you play music, socialize, and celebrate without sharing space with other guests.
