What a Cruise on the Tejas Feels Like
Boarding at Sam’s Dock, guests move onto an expansive, purpose-fitted deck where crew and catering staff transform the journey into a private event: a slow, scenic circuit of Grapevine Lake punctuated by views from a raised viewing deck, social areas around two bars, and a central space for music and dancing. Daytime and sunset sailings are available, and the boat’s event systems—projector, banquet seating, and multiple service areas—keep attention focused on the occasion and the lake outside.
