5.00It 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.

5.00I’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

5.00Our 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
