Great people and food. The boat ride was amazing. Upper deck. Great views of downtown. Fun experience.

Attended a work event. It was rainy and cold so we were unable to use the top deck until it stopped raining. It was beautiful. Skyline was amazing.

I had a great time on my cruise! Very educational about Austin, learned so much that I didn't know. I will definitely be going again.

Or group did the bat seeing tour at dusk. It included a leisurely cruise up the river to take in a few sights. The tour guide provided a lot of great information about the city and specific points of interest. The Congress Bridge bats were quite a sight to behold, though a bit dark at this time of year to really get the best view. All around great experience.

My local group charters a boat with Capital Cruises for an event every year. Austin is famous for its bat colony, and watching them emerge from the Congress Avenue bridge from the middle of the lake is an amazing experience. Before the sun sets and the bats come out, you can enjoy the spectacular Austin scenery as you take a leisurely tour of Lady Bird Lake. I highly recommend it!

Highly recommend the Duffy boat for a fun, relaxing cruise around the lake. Had such a great time on this boat and saw Austin in a new light. Missing one star because unfortunately the stereo to hook up your phone was not working!

Michael was extremely rude and not helpful at all. I assume all the customers are regulars and know where to go, what to do and how long we have on the kayaks. Helpers were very nice. I will wait in line across the street next time. I guess that is why one has a line and one does not? Kids went back today because it’s the only place to rent the paddle boats. Everyone was very polite and doing there jobs.

I've been on Capital Cruises twice now when family/friends are in town for the bat tour. Once I went on the small boat, which was great because it took us right underneath the bridge and you could see the bats up close. The second time I went on the large boat which sits out a little further and you actually get to see the column of bats as they fly off into the night. The pricing is great, this is honestly one of the best ways to see the bats if you're visiting Austin or just have never seen the bats other than from shore or on the bridge.

Had a great experience staying here while attending a work conference at the Convention Center. Travel to and from was quick. As far as the stay, the rooms are great sizes and very clean/comfortable. I chose to have breakfast delivered every morning before heading out and I was not disappointed, the convenience was worth every penny. In the room they have a list of things you can call and get delivered to your room in case you left home without something. This list was very extensive and comforting. Also, the bar carries great local whiskeys which I thought was pretty fantastic.

We went on a capital cruise on a whim. It was a nice way to pass some time while enjoying the sites from Lady Bird Lake (or Towne Lake) the captain was informative, funny and safe with us on board. It was chilly, even chillier on the water so bundle up when its mid January. Beautiful views of the Austin sky line and information of the Colorado Dam system. I recommend this for visitors, entertaining guests and we plan to take a bat tour cruise this summer.
