Timing is flexible - most groups prefer 6pm-9pm or 7pm-10pm to catch the sunset. We provide tables, seating, sound system for speeches, and all the amenities for a perfect rehearsal dinner.
Pricing starts at $195/hour for our smallest boat (14 guests) up to $495/hour for our flagship (40+ guests). Add Essentials or Ultimate package for enhanced convenience and party atmosphere.
Many couples use the rehearsal dinner cruise for heartfelt toasts, sharing stories, and quality time with their wedding party. The intimate boat setting creates a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere that traditional venues can't replicate.
Your guests will remember this unique experience long after the wedding. It sets the perfect tone for your big day and gives everyone special memories on beautiful Lake Travis.
What is the ideal group size for a rehearsal dinner cruise? Rehearsal dinner cruises typically accommodate 14-50 guests depending on your wedding party size. Most rehearsal dinners have 20-30 guests including wedding party, parents, grandparents, and siblings.
What catering options are available for rehearsal dinners? We coordinate with Austin's finest restaurants and caterers for your rehearsal dinner. Popular options include upscale BBQ from Salt Lick or County Line, elegant plated dinners, family-style Italian, or customized menus from local Austin favorites.
What is the best timing for a sunset rehearsal dinner cruise? For maximum romance, book your rehearsal dinner to depart 2 hours before sunset. This allows time for boarding, welcome drinks, photos during golden hour, dinner service, and toasts at sunset over Lake Travis.
What are the alcohol and beverage service options? Rehearsal dinner cruises are BYOB - bring your own wine, champagne, and beer. We provide ice, coolers, cups, and bottle openers. Many rehearsal dinners feature champagne toasts, wine with dinner, and craft beers.
How much does a rehearsal dinner cruise cost? Pricing depends on boat size and package. Typical 3-hour rehearsal dinner ranges from $585-$2,535 total depending on boat and package selection.
How far in advance should we book our rehearsal dinner cruise? Book 6-8 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and boat, especially for peak wedding season (April-October) and Friday evening rehearsals.
Where do we depart from for the rehearsal dinner cruise? Rehearsal dinner cruises depart from Anderson Mill Marina on Lake Travis, just 30 minutes from downtown Austin. The marina offers ample free parking and is easily accessible for out-of-town wedding guests.
