​

Can you pick up and drop off at another location?

 

We can ONLY pick up and drop off from our dock. We can not pick up or drop off at other marinas, private docks etc.

 

What is your bad weather policy?

 

Austin weather is unlike anywhere else. What starts out as a dreary day can turn into a beautiful afternoon and vice versa. Because of this the captain will make all calls about the weather. Cancellations due to severe weather are determined on your rental day. We do not cancel due to weather forecasts. On the date of your reservation, the Port Captain will determine if we need to reschedule due to weather. In this event, you are eligible to reschedule for the next available date that works for your schedule at no cost to you. If the renter still would like to cancel or reschedule, our usual policies apply. Until this decision is made by the Port Captain, we request that you still come to the dock and prepare to have a wonderful time. It’s Texas, the weather changes quickly, so don’t panic.

 

Do you have floats for swimming?

 

Yes! We have more noodles then you’ll know what to do with as well as a Lily Pad which is available upon request and at the discretion of the captain and crew. Please let us know if you intend to swim when booking your reservations so we can prepare for it. 

 

Can we cook onboard?

 

No. There is no cooking on board. We do have a fridge to keep food cold and a microwave to reheat. 

​

Can we go to Devil’s Cove?

 

Unfortunately, commercial vessels are not allowed in Devils Cove. Our captain will make the decision based on weather, wind and safe anchoring for which cove is appropriate for your charter. Your safety is our chief concern and all these factors come into play for your journey. 

 

Do your boats come with fridges and coolers?

 

Yes. We have fridges that you are welcome to use to keep your food and drinks cold as well as a large cooler that we will provide ice for. 

 

Do your boats come with Captains?

 

Yes. Our boats come with a registered captain and crew. We do not book our boats for self captaining. 

 

Can we swim off your pirate ship, The Goonie Ghost?

 

The Goonie Ghost is not an anchored vessel and is not swimmable on her own. The only way to swim from The Goonie Ghost is to book both Little Drama and her for a party barge. Due to her size and weight we will not connect our pirate ship to any other boat except our own. 

 

How do I secure my reservation with you?

 

All reservations require a 50% deposit, half of which is nonrefundable. 

 

Can we rent a jet ski with our yacht charter?

 

We do not offer jet skies in our fleet at this time. Additionally, for safety reasons, our neighbors VIP Marina do not rent out pontoons or jet skis in connection with our charters. There is no exception to this. 

 

Do we have the option to book overnight stays?

 

No, we only offer chartered cruises for the daylight hours. 

 

Do you have a stereo on board?

 

Yes! We have wireless bluetooth on board and you will be able to play any music you wish from your devices. Be prepared to pick the song of the summer to theme your journey.

​

Is there anything else we should know?

​

Two more adult rules we need to cover. We do not allow full nudity, drug use or sex anywhere on our vessels. Seems silly we need to put this in writing but rules are born from really outlandish events.
