Celebrate your engagement with an unforgettable party cruise on Lake Travis! Premier Party Cruises offers the perfect venue for newly engaged couples to gather family and friends for this exciting milestone. Whether you prefer an intimate gathering on our Day Tripper (up to 14 guests) or a grand celebration on Clever Girl (up to 75 guests), our Private Boat Rentals provide stunning scenery, premium amenities, and complete privacy for your engagement celebration.
An engagement marks the beginning of your wedding journey, and it deserves a celebration as special as your love story. Lake Travis provides a breathtaking natural setting with crystal-clear waters, stunning limestone cliffs, and the beautiful Texas Hill Country as your backdrop. A private cruise creates an intimate, exclusive atmosphere where your closest family and friends can celebrate this milestone together.
Unlike traditional restaurant or banquet hall engagement parties, a Lake Travis cruise offers unique advantages. Your group has exclusive use of the entire boat with professional crew handling everything. Guests can move freely between decks, enjoy swimming and floating, and experience the natural beauty of the lake. The scenic environment creates countless photo opportunities to document this special time.
Premier Party Cruises has hosted numerous engagement celebrations over our 14+ years on Lake Travis. We understand that this gathering sets the tone for your wedding celebrations ahead. Our professional crew ensures every detail is handled smoothly, allowing you and your guests to focus on celebrating your love and the exciting journey ahead.
Premier Party Cruises offers vessels perfectly suited for engagement celebrations of any size. Consider your guest count and desired atmosphere when selecting your boat. Day Tripper accommodates up to 14 guests, ideal for intimate celebrations with immediate family and your closest friends. This vessel creates a personal, cozy atmosphere perfect for heartfelt toasts and meaningful conversations.
Meeseeks and The Irony each accommodate up to 30 guests, perfect for engagement parties including extended family and friend groups from both sides. These boats offer more space for mingling while maintaining an intimate feel. For larger engagement celebrations, our flagship Clever Girl accommodates up to 75 guests with room for everyone to celebrate in style.
All boats feature USCG certified captains, premium Bluetooth sound systems perfect for speeches and music, large coolers with ice for your beverages, and comfortable seating throughout. The sound system connects easily to phones or devices for playing your favorite music or sharing your proposal story with guests.
Your engagement party cruise is fully customizable to match your vision. Many couples coordinate their engagement party with wedding colors or themes as a preview of what's to come. Decorations are welcome on board, including banners, balloon arrangements, and table decorations. Just avoid anything requiring tape, nails, or adhesives that could damage the boat.
The BYOB-friendly format allows you to bring champagne, wine, beer, and any beverages your guests prefer (21+ with valid ID, cans and plastic containers only, no glass). We provide large coolers with ice to keep everything chilled. Many couples bring a special bottle of champagne for the engagement toast and encourage guests to bring their own favorites.
Food options are flexible. Bring appetizers, finger foods, or a full meal aboard. Many engagement parties feature grazing boards, cheese platters, and celebration cakes. We can also coordinate catering delivery to the marina for those preferring full-service options. The 4-hour cruise provides ample time for eating, toasting, swimming, and celebrating.
A Lake Travis engagement cruise offers more than just a party venue—it creates an experience your guests will remember. The scenic cruise past limestone cliffs and through beautiful coves provides entertainment on its own. Guests naturally mingle and explore the boat while enjoying the stunning views and pleasant Texas weather.
Swimming and floating are available during private charters when conditions are safe at the captain's discretion. Many engagement party guests enjoy cooling off in the clear Lake Travis water or relaxing on giant lily pad floats. Life jackets are provided and required in the water. It's entirely optional based on your group's preferences.
The private setting encourages genuine connection among your guests. Family members from both sides can get to know each other in a relaxed, fun environment. Friends can share in your joy without the constraints of a structured venue. The boat becomes a floating celebration space where meaningful moments happen naturally.
Private charters for engagement parties start at $200 per hour with a 4-hour minimum. Pricing varies by boat size and timing, with weekends being most popular. We recommend booking 6-8 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during peak season (April through October).
All cruises depart from Anderson Mill Marina at 13993 FM 2769, Leander, TX 78641, approximately 30 minutes from downtown Austin. We recommend guests arrive 30 minutes before departure. The marina offers convenient parking, and our crew will be ready to welcome your engagement party and begin the celebration.
