Lake Austin Bentley Pontoon Charter — 15-Person Cerveza with Captain

"Bentley Tritoons - 15 ppl" - "Cerveza" is a private, captained pontoon experience that turns Lake Austin into your group’s personal playground. Launching from Lake Austin - Hula Hut Dock, or Loop 360, this 15-passenger Bentley pontoon is rigged for easy social cruising: a bimini shade top, Bluetooth sound, roomy seating, a Lily Pad and a floating pong table onboard mean the party happens wherever you drop anchor. The lake itself is the draw: limestone bluffs and live oaks line a winding arm of water carved through the Texas Hill Country, and the boat gives you a vantage few visitors see. Key features from the water include a shoreline of waterfront homes, anchoring coves for swimming, and two unmistakable landmarks — Mount Bonnell’s tree-topped summit and the Pennybacker Bridge (360 Bridge). From the pontoon the bridge reads like modern engineering framed by cedar and shale; near the coves you’ll spot native bald cypress and turtle-lined shallows. This trip is set up for low-fuss enjoyment. Your captain meets you at the dock, handles fueling and navigation, and runs the safety brief so you can connect a playlist and relax. Typical itineraries let you cruise under skyline views, drop anchor for a swim, and drift into quieter pockets where the water runs clear enough for floating games. The craft’s layout makes moving, sunning, and socializing simple, and the shade of the bimini keeps afternoons comfortable. Extras like coolers, additional float toys, and optional photographer or drone footage are available on request. Families, bachelor parties, and small corporate groups all find reasons to book this pontoon: it’s accessible to a wide age range (min age 1, max 99), and the captain tailors the pace to your group. Be aware of a $5 per person cash loading fee at the state park, and that small children must wear life jackets while underway. The operator advises arriving 15 minutes early to complete waivers. What makes this experience stand out is the combination of comfort and local perspective. From the water you’ll see Austin’s Hill Country edges differently — bridges, bluffs, and waterfront architecture in one continuous panorama — with a captain who knows the best coves, photo angles, and swim spots. Whether you want a relaxed day afloat or a lively celebration, this Bentley tritoon promises an effortless, memorable way to experience Lake Austin. Available durations range from two to eight hours, so you can tailor the outing to a sunrise paddle, afternoon anchor, or sunset cruise. The captain manages navigation and local rules, including safe swim spots and no-wake zones. Bookings require waiver completion and respect for shoreline privacy; arrive early, bring snacks or order a cooler, and make lakeside memories right now.
