So much fun! Awesome guide, Big Tom, was the best ever! He knew the best swim spot with no waves and a rope swing! Beautiful weather, great dinner at Ski Shores with margaritas 😊
It was a great family outing! Beautiful time of the year. If you are taking this outing in the winter or cooler times. Remember, it gets cold on the water late evening.
I’ve been on yachts in the Mediterranean, submarines to the Titanic, and on Gondolas in Venice but none of these compare to riding the Austin lake with Captain Shane! The vibes, the views were unmatched. Thank you for the incredible experience. 10/10
Shane was our Captain and he’s the Best!!! Very passionate and respectful. He handled us with care. We truly enjoyed our Boat Ride!
Such a beautiful day on the water. Swam, saw Little Italy, Lilly pad cove, gorgeous houses and landscapes. Thank you, Shane!
Our 2 person party loved this boat tour! We particularly loved the “Venice-like canal” and swimming at the more private cove they took us to. Shane was awesome, we will definitely be coming back! Perfect way to spend a hot Austin afternoon
Shane was not only extremely accommodating and helpful, he went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed every minute of this beautiful experience. He was knowledgeable about so much of the area and shared it with us.
We had a great time! The captain of the boat was very friendly and kept us informed and requested our suggestions. We will use them again.
Captain Tom was great! Very accommodating to our group of 12 aged 2-80! Lots of sights, swimming, tubing, and great music. We will be back!
