Travis County Parks charges a $5/person entry fee to access the park (cash or check only). This fee goes to the park, not to LakeTime. On-site parking is currently limited due to nearby construction, so rideshare is recommended.
Please arrive 15–30 minutes before your departure time. From downtown, take MoPac (Loop 1) north, exit at RM 2222, and head west to the ramp.
A few favorites your captain can work into your route.
Lakeside burgers right on the water. Stop in before, during, or after your cruise.
Tex-Mex with a tiki vibe and a deck on Lake Austin, margaritas and tacos with a view.
You'll cruise right past it, one of Austin's best skyline views, seen from the water.
One of the most photographed spots in Austin, visible right from the boat.
Both lakes are great. Here's how to pick the right one for your day.
Calmer water, closer to downtown (about 15 minutes), and lined with quiet coves, cliff jumps, and lakeside restaurants like Ski Shores and Hula Hut. It's the better pick for a relaxed family afternoon, a scenic sunset cruise, or a first-time boating group that wants an easy, low-stress day.
Bigger, open water with more room for watersports and a livelier party-cove scene, but it's farther from downtown Austin and can get crowded on summer weekends. It suits groups specifically looking for a bigger-water, higher-energy day.
LakeTime operates on Lake Austin, so if you want a private, captain-driven pontoon cruise close to downtown, with a scenic route past Mount Bonnell and the Pennybacker (360) Bridge, this is your lake.
