Holly was a blast! Playing all the good music, taking song request, pointing out the hot spots around the lake tonight!! - Holly was the best holiday light boat driver tour guide ever. We had so much fun driving “around the lake tonight.” Would definitely do it again.

Perfect New Year Sunset Cruise on Lake Austin - We had an amazing time on the Lake Austin Sunset Boat Cruise and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were a group of 12 and were pleasantly surprised to get an exclusive private boat, which made it feel extra special. The boat was fast enough to keep the kids excited and engaged, while the sunset views were absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Captain Chris was a wonderful host — very friendly, offered to play music, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. With the weather around a perfect 75 degrees, it turned out to be the ideal way to spend New Year’s evening. Highly recommend this cruise for families or groups looking for a memorable time on the water. Cheers!

Sunset Cruise - A very fun ride. Captain Craig was the best host. We went farther than I expected. We saw birds and ducks, waterfront homes and boat houses and the holiday lights. Craig offered blankets in the cool temperatures.

Lake Austin by sunset - Our boat cruise met all of our expectations. We went more of a distance than we expected and saw homes and canals and holiday lights. Our captain was Craig. He did some commentary and passed out blankets. It was a great tour, thanks Craig!
