We booked an Austin Party Boat for 2 of our friend’s birthday expecting a fun, all-girls experience but it turned out to be uncomfortable. Once we got to the swimming area, our captain randomly tied us to another boat without any explanation. Then, male passengers from that boat started coming onto ours, which was the last thing we wanted on a girls trip. Our captain was completely unavailable as he was watching a movie with AirPods in and so we addressed it with the other boat’s captain, and he just shrugged and walked off. Eventually, we ended up tied to two other boats making it four boats total, including one with families and kids. We looked around and realized no other boats were doing this. It felt invasive and unsafe. The floating pads were drifting into other boats’ space, and when kids from a different boat wanted to use our slide, we had to constantly make sure no one got hurt. It honestly felt like they were just doing it to make their job easier, at the cost of our comfort and safety. All the boats’ music was clashing!! We couldn’t even enjoy our own without it being drowned out. We asked to at least move a few feet away, and they refused, saying it was for “safety,” which made no sense. To top it off, no one even acknowledged that it was our friend’s birthday, which was the whole point of booking this experience. The boat itself was fun, and we’re glad we spoke up and asked the guys to leave. That helped us enjoy what was left of the trip. But between the poor hosting, lack of communication, and total disregard for safety and privacy this is not what we paid for, and we wouldn’t recommend it.
