Hulk 2900 Double Decker: Lake Austin Party Barge with Waterslide

On a bright Texas morning the Hulk 2900 Double Decker pulls away from Walsh Boat Landing on Lake Austin, carrying a party in search of wide-open water and a fat waterslide. This 29.5-by-10-foot lower deck and 14-by-10-foot upper deck combine roomy social space with a 3,000-watt Bluetooth stereo, teak seagrass flooring, and a Lilly Pad that doubles as an anchor for sunbathers and floaters. Boarding is at Walsh Boat Landing, 1600 Scenic Drive in Austin, Texas, minutes from downtown and skirting the limestone bluffs and live-oak pockets of the central Texas Hill Country. For celebrations, reunions, or company outings the Hulk 2900 is built to hold up to 22 guests plus the captain; choose 3, 4, or 5-hour bookings depending on how long you want to linger in coves. The boat arrives fully rigged with cupholders, a wide waterslide that drops into calm water, two 110-quart coolers (ice sold separately), life vests, and a 200-horsepower four-stroke motor that moves the party between the best tie-up points. Operator policies allow BYOB and food so you can bring a picnic, cake, and a playlist that competes with the on-board stereo. Lake Austin's shoreline - carved from limestone and cedar - creates sheltered pockets that make the Hulk 2900 ideal for tie-ups and low-swell lounging. Aim for a late-afternoon cruise toward the Pennybacker Bridge for broad views, or head upstream to quieter coves favored by local boaters. Wildlife including great blue herons and freshwater turtles are common along the shallows; listen for songbirds and keep an eye out for white-tailed deer along secluded banks. The experience is straightforward: a professional captain handles navigation and docking, so no boat license is required for guests. The operator can sometimes board from private docks on request and recommends a rideshare promo (WAVEINWATER) for 25% off returns. Damage protection covers minor incidents, and the vessel's design prioritizes social comfort with non-slip teak-surfaced decks and plenty of seating across both levels. Practical tips: bring reef-safe sunscreen, a water-resistant speaker for personal playlists, and a small cash tab for optional ice or extras. Reserve early on summer weekends; slots are limited for large groups. Whether you're chasing an easy afternoon with friends, a splashy birthday, or a team-building day on the water, the Hulk 2900 delivers the kind of loud, sunny, and safe Lake Austin gathering that locals book again and again. Booking is handled through the operator's online calendar; pricing varies by date and group size, so check the calendar link when reserving. Metered parking is available at the landing, and the crew can sometimes arrange pickup from a private dock on request. For larger events confirm sound limits and late-return policies in advance to keep relations positive and the party legal.
