What you'll do: Spend an hour cruising Lake Austin aboard a double deck party boat built for groups who want to bring their own drinks and make their own rules.

• Cruise Lake Austin – Take in the water and skyline views from a stable, spacious double deck layout built for up to 12 people

• Bring your own drinks – Stock the cooler with whatever you like under the boat's BYOB policy and keep the party on your terms

• Hit the slide – Cool off straight into the lake from the built-in slide whenever the mood strikes

• Add on the extras – Round out the trip with a beer pong table, paddle boards, or a margarita machine

• Let the sound system lead – Queue up your playlist on the built-in system and set the tone for the whole hour

Whether it's a bachelorette weekend, a birthday, or just a good excuse to get on the water, this boat gives your group room to spread out and do it your way.

Why we love it for your party:

• Two full decks – Extra space means your group can split off to dance, lounge, or watch the slide action without feeling packed in

• Built-in slide – A direct way to cool off on the lake that turns a boat ride into an activity, not just a ride

• BYOB policy – No drink minimums or markups; bring what your group actually likes to drink

• Custom add-ons – Beer pong, paddle boards, and a margarita machine let you shape the hour around your group

• Captain included – A scheduled captain handles the driving so your group can focus on the party
