"This is one of the most exciting things we did all year! Captain Tim is a great host and a fantastic sailor who showed very clearly his competency in the high winds which made our night sail exhilarating! We both highly recommend Sail Austin Charters to anyone and everyone. Thanks again Tim!"

− Devin H

"We chose the 6 hour boat cruise with a captain Tim for a bachelorette party and it was absolutely incredible! Captain Tim is extremely kind and flexible. He had a ton of fun knowledge about the lake and knew all the great spots. He had a huge cooler for our beverages and snacks and took some really fun photos! We got out to swim in the lake and he had a fun noodle line that we could all hang out on. Lake Travis was also only about 35 mins from Austin, and was extremely easy to access via Uber. I would absolutely book with captain Tim again!"

− Kayla

"The experience with Captain Tim and Sail Austin was simply perfect!!! I could not have imagined a better choice for a personalized, first class experience! Captain Tim takes every effort to create the day you want and need. He is a master sailor that can create an adrenaline filled exciting sail, or a relaxing cruise across the lake."

− Adrienne C

"WE LOVE CAPTAIN TIM BEST! I contacted him about surprising my husband with a sunset cruise for his 30th birthday, and I couldn't be happier. He was so accommodating and willing to brainstorm ideas with me about how to make it perfect and special. We ended up taking lobster rolls and eating them on board, it was super nice!"

Private Charters

The entire boat under the care of your Captain is the key to our private charter service. The schedule and itinerary are completely up to you whether you sail, anchor, swim, sunbathe…it is your choice. The luxury of the largest sailing yacht on Lake Travis is yours on an hourly basis. This is not a party barge but the best sailing experience available short of going to one of our destination charters in the Virgin Islands!

Shared Sunset Sails

Book a space for a sunset sail NOW! Every Saturday, unless we’ve already booked a private charter, the yacht Quintessence leaves the dock an hour and a half before sunset for a lovely 2 1/2 hour sunset cruise. This is the one time when you can come and cruise by yourself or with a friend without booking the entire yacht as a private charter. Join other guests and meet new people or simply sit back and enjoy.

We will even guide you in looking for your first boat!
