Host an unforgettable Rehearsal Dinner Cruises on Lake Travis with Premier Party Cruises! The night before your wedding deserves a venue as special as your love story. Our private boat charters provide an intimate, elegant setting for wedding parties to gather, relax, and celebrate before the big day. Choose from Day Tripper (14 guests), Meeseeks or The Irony (up to 30 guests), or Clever Girl (up to 75 guests) for your perfect Rehearsal Dinners experience on the water.
The rehearsal dinner sets the tone for your entire wedding celebration. It's the moment when both families truly come together, when out-of-town guests arrive, and when the anticipation builds for tomorrow's main event. Lake Travis provides a stunning, memorable setting that transforms this traditional dinner into an extraordinary experience your guests will never forget.
Imagine your wedding party and closest family members cruising past Texas Hill Country scenery as the sun sets over Lake Travis. The intimate atmosphere of a private boat charter creates natural opportunities for meaningful conversations between families who may be meeting for the first time. Away from the distractions of traditional venues, guests focus entirely on celebrating your upcoming marriage.
Austin's Lake Travis has become an increasingly popular choice for rehearsal dinners among couples seeking something beyond typical restaurant settings. The combination of natural beauty, exclusive privacy, and unique experience creates perfect conditions for pre-wedding celebrations. Our sunset cruise times are particularly popular, offering spectacular views as the Texas sky transforms into brilliant oranges and pinks.
Premier Party Cruises offers three vessels perfectly suited for rehearsal dinners of various sizes. Each boat includes professional captains, premium sound systems, and all amenities needed for an elegant evening on the water. We work with many wedding parties throughout the year and understand the unique needs of pre-wedding celebrations.
A Lake Travis rehearsal dinner cruise offers flexibility that traditional venues cannot match. Work with your caterer to create a menu that reflects your personality, from casual Texas BBQ to elegant plated service. We accommodate various catering styles and can provide recommendations for local vendors experienced with boat delivery. Food arrives at Anderson Mill Marina ready for your celebration.
The natural flow of a cruise creates organic transitions between cocktails, dinner, and toasts. Begin with drinks and appetizers as you cruise the lake, then anchor in a calm cove for the main course. Toasts and speeches feel more intimate in the exclusive setting of your private charter. Dessert and coffee accompany the cruise back as the sun sets over the Texas Hill Country.
Decoration options allow you to personalize the space for your celebration. Many couples incorporate their wedding colors, photos of their relationship journey, or simple elegant touches like candles and flowers. Our crew assists with setup upon your arrival at the marina. The natural beauty of Lake Travis provides a stunning backdrop that requires minimal additional decoration.
All rehearsal dinner 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 for parking, boarding, and getting settled. The 4-hour cruise provides ample time for pre-dinner drinks, a full meal, toasts, and enjoying Lake Travis scenery.
Every cruise is BYOB friendly for guests 21+ with valid ID. Bring champagne for toasts, wine for dinner, and any other beverages your group prefers (cans and plastic only, no glass for safety). We provide large coolers with ice to keep everything cold. Many couples hire bartenders for table-side service, or guests can serve themselves from the coolers.
Weather contingencies are important for wedding events. Lake Travis typically offers beautiful conditions April through October, with sunset cruises being especially popular for rehearsal dinners. In the rare case of severe weather, we work with you to reschedule or find alternative solutions. Your wedding week should be stress-free, and we prioritize flexibility for these important celebrations.
Many couples book Premier Party Cruises for multiple wedding week events. A Rehearsal Dinner Cruises pairs beautifully with a Wedding Welcome Parties cruise for out-of-town guests arriving earlier in the week. Some couples host their Wedding After Parties on the water following the reception, giving the wedding party one final celebration before the night ends.
We offer special consideration for couples booking multiple events with us. Contact our team to discuss package options for your complete Lake Travis wedding celebration. From the rehearsal dinner through the post-wedding party, we help create cohesive, memorable experiences throughout your wedding festivities.
