Check Live AvailabilityYour Family Lake Day
A family boat day does not need a special occasion. Sometimes the plan is simply to get everyone together, spend a few hours outside, and enjoy Lake Austin from the water.
With a private pontoon and captain, your family can settle into the day at its own pace. Cruise the lake, stop for a swim, relax on the floating water mat, or spend more time in the shade while catching up with the people you came with.
Family Time on Lake Austin
Family groups often include different ages and different ideas of what makes a good day on the lake. Some family members may want to swim and stay active, while others are happiest cruising, relaxing in the shade, and spending time together.
The entire pontoon is reserved for your group, giving parents, children, grandparents, and extended family a private place to spend time together on Lake Austin.
Cruise the lake, stop for a swim, relax on the Aqua Lily Pad floating water mat, listen to music, or take a break in the shade. Your family can decide how to spend the day.
Each pontoon accommodates up to 13 passengers plus the captain. Multiple boats can be coordinated for larger family groups, subject to availability.
Ways to Enjoy the Lake
Every family is different, so your time on the water does not need to follow a fixed itinerary. You can spend more time cruising or stop to enjoy the water when conditions allow.
When conditions allow, families can stop to swim and spend time together on the floating water mat.
Cruise Lake Austin and enjoy the shoreline, waterfront homes, and views near Pennybacker Bridge without anyone in your family needing to operate the boat.
