“What a great experience! We did their Amore/Sunset Cruise, it was so pretty and relaxing. Carol in the office is wonderful. She showed us the options for the charcuterie board, even texted us later when she saw some crostini bread she thought we might prefer over crackers…she was correct. Clark, our captain, was great, informative but didn't turn the cruise into a history lesson. We got to the perfect spot to have our snack and watch the sunset.”

Loved on Lake Travis
Guests love the sail-to-dinner night.
“I was looking for something different for my girlfriend's birthday, the sunset cruise knocked it out of the park! We met Thomas at the boat, brought our own wine, and spent the next two hours floating along, enjoying the cool light breeze, the lake, and stories about the area. I got extra credit points for a perfect evening. Overall it was a gorgeous boat ride from a viewpoint not everyone else gets to see. Worth it.”
“Took my husband out for a sail for his birthday. The staff was helpful booking it and the Captain was great. We had a wonderful sail and we have special memories of his birthday. Highly recommend!”

Good to know
Common questions
Which restaurants can we sail to?+
Our regular stops are Canyon Grille at Rough Hollow, Captain Pete's Boathouse Grill, and Sundancer Grill, three of the best waterfront tables on Lake Travis, each reachable by boat with no traffic and no parking. We'll help you match the right one to your group size, mood, and menu preference. Reservations at the restaurant are up to you; timing and docking are up to us.
How long is the cruise?+
Four hours total, typically split between the sail out, dinner at the restaurant, and the sail back. Your captain builds the schedule around your reservation and the sunset.
Can we do lunch instead of dinner?+
Absolutely. The same four-hour concierge sail works beautifully for lunch cruises, especially in spring and fall when Lake Travis afternoons are at their best.
How many people can come?+
Up to 12 guests per yacht. For larger parties we can coordinate multiple boats sailing to the same restaurant.
How does docking at the restaurant actually work?+
Your concierge captain calls ahead to confirm your reservation and dock slip, then handles the approach and tie-up while you relax on deck. When dinner's done, walk back down to the dock and your captain has the boat ready for the sail home under the stars. No valet, no walking from a parking lot, just the water.
What happens if the weather is bad?+
Safety wins, every time. If your captain cancels for weather, lightning, or unsafe wind, you reschedule for free, no fine print, no rebooking fees. Light rain or overcast skies usually don't cancel a sail; some of the most dramatic Lake Travis sunsets happen on partly cloudy evenings. Your safety and your experience always come first.
