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 pointing out landmarks and sharing some of Austin's unique history along the way. 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 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.
From here we set sail towards Mount Bonnell, where the lake is lined with outrageously luxurious lakefront homes. You'll then slow troll through a semi-private grotto called Little Venice where you get a closeup view of these mansions as we head back to the 360 bridge!
