Upper‑deck sun and a waterslide: cruising Lake Austin on a 12‑passenger double‑deck pontoon.
Lake Austin softens into a ribbon of calm water held between live oaks and waterfront homes; on a double‑deck pontoon you trade shore lines for a broad, sunlit upper deck, a built‑in waterslide and a captain at the helm. This 12‑passenger vessel is set up for swimming, lounging and social afternoons—Bluetooth sound, a shaded lower deck and life jackets ready—so you can focus on the water and the people you brought aboard.
