Your Birthday Lake Day

Your Birthday, Your Friends, Your Own Boat

Bring the people you want to celebrate with and enjoy Lake Austin from a pontoon reserved just for your group. Your captain takes care of the boat, leaving everyone free to relax and enjoy the day together.

Cruise the lake with your favorite playlist, cool off with a swim, or hang out on the floating water mat. How you spend your time is up to your group, whether you are planning a laid-back family birthday or a day on the water with friends.

Plan Your Celebration

A Birthday Experience Built Around Your Group

Birthday plans look different for every group. Some groups spend most of their time swimming and listening to music, while others would rather cruise, relax in the shade, and take in the lake. With a private boat, your group can enjoy the day at its own pace.

Your Group, Your Boat

The entire pontoon is reserved for your birthday group, so you can celebrate with the people you invited without sharing the boat with other passengers.

Spend the Day Your Way

Turn up your playlist, cruise Lake Austin, stop for a swim, or stretch out on the floating water mat. Your group can decide how you want to enjoy your time on the lake.

Celebrating With a Bigger Group?

Each pontoon accommodates up to 13 passengers plus the captain. For larger birthday celebrations, you can book multiple boats when availability allows.
