5.00We went sailing with Captain Tom today with my family, and it was such a wonderful experience! He’s super friendly, helpful, and genuinely a great person. Even though we were a bit late for our tour, he still made sure we saw as much as possible and made us feel completely comfortable throughout. Highly recommend him! ⛵️

5.00I booked this last minute and they almost cancelled since they didn’t have the minimum required passengers. But since I was leaving the next day they graciously took my husband and I out. Our captain Shane was great and the views were beautiful! Just very cold and windy in October, so dress warmly.

5.00Shawn was a great tour guide and was accommodating for us. We got to stop at Hula Hut and he didn’t rush us at all. I would recommend to any and all visiting Austin.

5.00Very nice relaxing boat ride from 360 Bridge. We got to see Little Italy of Austin which was pretty cool. It is a very nice thing to do as a couple.
Wished we had more daylight!
