Book a Lake TourMost visitors to Austin know the city well, the music venues on 6th Street, the barbecue, the parks. But Lake Travis, sitting in the Texas Hill Country just northwest of the city, is the side of Austin that locals keep to themselves. Wide blue water cutting through cedar and limestone, coves that feel genuinely remote, and sunsets that make you understand why people move here.
A lake tour with Texas Forever Charters is the best way to take it all in. You're not navigating from a map or figuring out where to anchor. Captain DJ or Dane takes you out, shows you the best spots, and makes sure the whole experience feels effortless from start to finish.
You meet at Volente Beach Waterpark & Resort. Your captain does a quick briefing, everyone gets comfortable on board, and then you head out onto Lake Travis. The route varies based on your group's vibe and what's happening on the lake that day, but most tours follow a similar arc.
From Volente Beach, you'll typically cruise toward Devil's Cove, the most iconic spot on Lake Travis. You'll anchor there for a stretch, get out on the float mats, maybe take a jump from the 14ft platform, and just breathe for a while. From there it's flexible, more cruising, more coves, more water, more Texas sky.
Lake tours work for almost any kind of group. If you're visiting Austin for the first time and want to experience the city's best-kept outdoor secret, a lake tour is the move. If you're a local who hasn't been out on the water in a while, it's a reminder of why you live here.
Tours can be booked for groups of any size, with charter windows ranging from 2 hours to a full day. The Carver motor yacht handles up to 20 guests; the Bentley Navigator pontoon handles up to 13.
