Austin Party Cruises - Austin, Texas

Cheryl Pratt

I booked a private dinner cruise for a work event party with Austin Party Cruises for 70 people - exceptional!

From initial booking to Captain Ron sailing off, this was an incredibly smooth and hassle free process.

Jessica was a delight to work with and was readily available for any questions that I had.

The boat itself is in great shape, tastefully decorated with lights and plenty of seating/tables for your group.

Catering selections were super simple to select and everything was set up perfectly and on time. We opted for the full service bar. A must!

The cruising route allows for wonderful sight seeing and the sunset - wow!!

Thank you, Austin Party Cruises, for an amazing night our guests will fondly remember!

Austin Party Cruises is extremely easy to work with and accommodating! We host our firm boat party with Austin Party Cruises every year and we've had wonderful experiences with them multiple years in a row - they never fail to come through for us. Captain Rick and his crew are reliable, fun, and solicitous!

As the events person for the firm, when it comes to most firm events, I'm typically stressed and running around working. Not with Austin Party Cruises - they handle everything and even I just get to show up and have fun! I cannot thank Captain Rick, Captain Carl, and Paige enough for all they did to make our event so fantastic!

Worth noting - The indoor AC is glorious and the bathrooms are really nice and clean.

On the 4th of July I took my family out on Lake Austin and we launched and retrieved at a public ramp. At 10:30pm there was a 10-15 min wait for the docks as boats were being retrieved. A captain for this giant commercial vessel quickly started yelling at and insulting my family in multiple languages on the loudspeaker for not getting out of their way, which encouraged their passengers to do the same. I approached the vessel and pointed out to the captain and staff that there was a short wait and I’d be moving the boat shortly from the dock, and the captain and staff were incredibly and repeatedly unimpressive as Austinites
and/or as humans at a public boat ramp.
Their cruises may be a party but their presence at public infrastructure leaves much to be desired. I hope other commercial operations are better stewards and neighbors.

CEE NOTE

Captain Rick and crew were AMAZING~! Jessica supports from the office, and is quick to answer and full of patience. Our team had a ton of questions, and she was full of answers and never got annoyed with us. They worked with us amazingly on time frames, drop off times, pick up times all of that.
Captain Rick was fun and considerate. He is mindful of creating a fun space to relax. The boat ride was a great time, our company party with a sunset cruise went off without any issues. Boarding was fast and convenient. Terry was always walking around helping keep things clean and tidy as well as changing out settings as needed. The bartender was friendly and quick as well, can't beat that! We had food catered with an hour cocktail service, which was managed quite well. Then the crew helped switch us over to the dinner service without any bumps. At the end they packed everything up for us, we didn't have to lift a finger!
Overall I would definitely use this business again. They gave top level service with a smile 🙂

Recently booked a 4 hour cruise with a large group for a July 4th celebration and everything was great!

Jessica was very helpful in making the booking and answering any questions that I had. Captain Rick, Gavin, and Terri were super friendly, fun, and made everything easy for us. The crew clearly knew what they were doing and there was a good balance of time spent anchored for swimming, and time spent cruising around the lake.

The boat is huge and easily fit our ~95 passengers. I would absolutely recommend for any big group looking to have a great time, and we will book with them again!

Captain Rick and his wonderful wife Jessica are Amazing hosts, providing an exciting and memorable experience! We spent 4 hours with them and their staff on a retirement party cruize, it felt as if we spent the day with family. The staff and crew are fun and will treat you like royalty! The food was awesome, the sights were breathtaking, I could go on and on...please check out Austin Party Cruises, you will absolutely love love love it!!!❤️

Oh man, not only did our group have an incredible time, but Terry, Gail, and Rick absolutely crushed it and made this such an amazing boat cruise. We rented this for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding and we literally had guests saying how much this boat cruise made their trip. It was spacious, fun, and perfect right at sunset and into the evening. All three crew members were not only absolutely on top of everything, but they were such a great time, too. Beyond helpful, while also making sure everyone had a great time. I cannot express enough how perfect our dinner cruise was!!! We had 50 people, and it was spacious and had plenty of standing and seating room. Our guests were just raving about having an amazing time. Best rehearsal dinner!!

We have used Rick for our Corporate events. His boat is so large we had 50 people on it and it felt empty. Night cruises are beautiful with the lighting of the houses. The boat is clearly nicest on the lake. If you want to impress people or entertain, there is no better way than using Austin Party Cruises!
