Overview

Experience A 2 hour boat cruise on the beautiful Lake Austin while on a private, partially guided pontoon boat. The boat is equipped with a foldable canopy for optional full sun or shade! Our pickup location is only 5 minutes from Downtown at the Oysters Landing Boat Dock between the restaurants Quince and Hula Hut. Lake Austin has 22 miles of amazing views, including multimillion dollar waterfront homes, popular restaurants and some infamous landscape to see. Lake Austin is at a constant level allowing beautiful scenery for pictures & social media-worthy pictures. Many celebrities live on the lake such as Matthew Mcconaughey, Joe Rogan, Sanrda Bullock, etc. Reserve the boat for up to 15 people for a total of 2 hours & enjoy fun times on the lake. FYI: There are restrooms at the pickup and we can stop at the 1/2 way spot through the trip if requested when cruising.
