On November 7th, 2025 we booked a private boat tour for our Welcome Dinner the night before our wedding. The weather on the top deck was incredible. The views of the lake were stunning and our guests couldn't stop complimenting how much fun they had. We had Son of a Butcher deliver out to the dock and BOYB. The staff was friendly and kind. We were very well taken care of. I would highly recommend this experience! read more

This was a fun activity! My and a girl friend decided to come just to catch up and have something fun to do. We don't really drink and go to the club much but this was great to see what rockwall has to offer. We managed to take lots and LOTS! Of pictures, chat with new people, dance and just had a great time! I think for under $60, it was worth it! You get to relax, enjoy the ride, watch the waves and beautiful sunset! Lots of couples and families here celebrating birthdays, anniversary, etc. Highly recommend! read more

They had the going for us and it was truly so peaceful. Would definitely book again for a private party ! (They do both White Rock and Lake Hubbard) ! read more

As advertised. We would absolutely do it again! My husband chose the Sunset Cruise to celebrate Father's Day! It was beautiful! Lots of laughs and dancing. The waves and fresh air off the lake was relaxing. Staff is friendly!. Retail by the harbor makes for awful parking. Give yourself enough time to find parking and get to the port. read more

Took this tour on Rockwall lake for my mother's birthday. We enjoyed ourselves. We were allowed to BYOB and BYOFood. The music was inclusive of everyone and all genres. read more

Came here to celebrate a friends birthday and we were welcomed with hospitality and a great attitude. You reserve your tickets online and you have to fill out a waiver; make sure to give yourself ample time to get there, as they will not wait for you. The captain is nice but stringent with his rules, as should be, for the passengers safety. So make sure to follow all rules and everything will run smoothly. You're allowed to bring a cooler with beers, wine, I chose to bring hard seltzer's. You can also bring food in a picnic style, they do provide complimentary drinks as well. The boat ride was smooth without any turbulence and they tell you a few fun facts about the lake(s) in Texas, which I found interesting. As soon as the sun was coming down we went up to the deck to admire it. Made for gorgeous pictures or selfies, it was a bit windy up there though. Once it got dark we went back down for some more music and a bit of dancing. I really liked how they gave birthday shout-outs to those celebrating. This was such a special and fun experience. Looking forward to coming back for any occasion. read more

We came here for an bridal shower right before my wedding. I have to say that this will now become the go to way to celebrate all our family functions! Captains Michael and Greta were absolute incredible. They really welcomed us on board with such open arms, that this already felt like home. I really wish Yelp would allow me to give them more than 5 stars. Before we even came to our cruise, we already experienced so much of their care and consideration. The weather had been forecasted to be awful the week of my wedding, and especially the day we booked the cruise. When we called them to ask about their rain friendly options, they were extremely generous. The assured us to not worry and they would keep another boat (their larger covered one) as a backup in case the rain would get worse. When we called them a day later to ask if we could change the date to one where the weather wasn't as bad, they enthusiastically said no problem and accommodated our request. Since we were doing a cruise for my bridal shower, we went with a "Last Sail Before the Veil" theme. Greta not only volunteered to hang up a banner for us, she took painstaking efforts to make it perfect. The banner had these extra attachments to connect letters. She spent considerable time taping each letter individually and cutting the extra pieces so that the banner looked extremely elegant. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience in the cruise. Michael and Greta spent plenty of time making sure we had the perfect photos for our memories. They even pointed out water bottles on a table and suggested we move them so they wouldn't show up in our photos. One thing I really do have to highlight is how much they care about safety, while making sure everyone has a great time. They were extremely considerate about COVID and making sure our family was comfortable. They also advocated for any other potential safety issues well. All in all, I would highly recommend this boat cruise. It's the kind of function we will think about fondly for years. I am sure that as soon as you get on board, you'll already want to start making plans for the next one. read more

I surprised my partner with a ticket to the Sapphire Moon - Starlight boat ride through the DFW Boat Ride company. I heard about them through a friend who went on a date on their Harbor Lights - Sunset cruise and wasn't disappointed. The starlight cruise is a one hour ride from 9:15pm-10:15pm. We really enjoyed how all passengers had to be +18 in order to partake. I feel like it made the experience more intimate as most people on the boat with coupled up. The starlight cruise had two stories to which they served juice and soft drinks for free. I liked the idea of the BYOB and BYO(Food). However, there wasn't much table space on the top deck so I'm glad we ate before. The couches were super comfy and whilst there were couples around, you still felt secluded. Since the starlight cruise is only one hour, it cost $27 per person which I felt was rather reasonable. The other cruises are 1.5hours and cost $10 more per ticket ($37). We plan on coming back in the future to try out the other cruises. I definitely recommend DFW Boat Ride services to anyone, whether you plan to come alone, bring a partner, or come with a group of friends! read more

Awesome !!!Had a blast!!! See you all again soon.The coordinator/host is perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed her. read more

Had an awesome time Saw the sunset while sailing with Caribbean and Spanish Music playing in the background The cool breeze blew against our faces As we sat on top deck ...It could not get any better We drank coolers while singing and even danced a bit To the cha cha slide What a beautiful ride coming in with the party lights on the boat and the lights from the lighthouse and surrounding restaurants . The sound of the waves while approaching the lighthouse echoed peace and serenity... I have to return real soon ... The crew were accommodating Even taking song request Awesome time Loved it! read more

Bought this for my parents as a Christmas gift and they said they really enjoyed it! Would definitely recommend for people who enjoy being on the water and want something relaxing to do for a little while, my dad got some great photos of the sunset. read more

We went with a group of 8 & it was pretty fun! BYOB we brought coolers. I wore sandals, shorts and a tank it's pretty casual! The captain was super nice, there are strobe lights and tables down stairs up stairs is pretty dark but wide open. We asked if they could play some requested songs and one of the ladies said she would rather eat a corn dog than play the song we requested... "come on Ilene" (who doesn't like that song) rude..they were not very receptive to making our night better. Non-the less it was a good time and we danced most of the night. We stayed at the Hilton after it was beautiful! read more

DFW Boat Ride - Harbor Lights Boat - Boat Charters Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

This is going to be simple: if you want to have a BYOE (e for everything) party on a boat, book a harbor lights sunset cruise. We had a group of 10 and we brought coolers & food, set up shop up top and had a great time. Look for dates that aren't full (they sell up to 90 tickets, and the website shows how many spots are left). We practically had the boat to ourselves! read more

This was such a fun experience. The timing was just right for the current sunset and it was a beautiful view out on the water. The ride was great!!

Would 100% purchase again. read more

To make things even more special, a couple got engaged during our cruise!! How cool is that??!! We brought our own snacks and beverages, however they provide complimentary drinks. Great gesture. read more

The perfect event for a 95 degree Texas evening! With A/C down below and a warm breeze on top, you have access to the best of both worlds, especially since you can see panoramic views from the first level. Everyone who joined us was extremely pleased and thanked us for putting it together! You can cater in your own food and drinks, play your own music so that the party is a genuinely yours. The best thing is that it feels like you're in the Caribbean. It was fabulous!! read more

This is a fun and relaxing adventure. Not expensive and lasts several hours in the evening while sun is setting up to dark. BYOB and food. You can sit on the rooftop deck at tables and watch the sunset, while listening to tunes, or if it's too warm for you then you can take a break downstairs in the A/C. Clean bathroom. Friendly staff. read more

DFW Boat Ride - Happy Birthday 'Merica! - Boat Charters Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

This whole experience was just....... bleh. Extremely underwealming. I wanted to treat my wife for a nice afternoon cruise on the lake. I opted for the "hour long tour of the lake". The boat left the dock, took a straight A-B line (stayed far away from the shore or showing us some of the epic looking properties on the shore), and at 30 minutes into the "cruise" made a immediate u turn and took the exact same coarse back to the dock. The extremely boring ride along with the terrible "pop" music they played made this for a quite miserable trip and a waste of $50 for 2 people. I would spend your hard earned money at a better establishment. Only good part of this "cruise" is that it is byob read more

The staff was very friend from the time that I booked to the event. Very accommodating for my event ahead of time and provided equipment for dj to bring equipment on the boat. read more

My experience on the Harbor light cruise last night was the bomb! I and my wife as well as my sister who is currently visiting the U.S had the fun of our lives...The captain and his crew were very professional and the boat was very clean. Music was on point and most of all the ride was smooth. We will definitely do this again!!! read more

We rented the boat for a corporate event for an afternoon cruise and could not have been more pleased with the event. The owners and the crew were fantastic and very helpful! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an "out of the box" event idea! read more

Really good boat and great crew. We had a great graduation celebration. The crew was extremely friendly and accommodating.

The ride was smooth, weather and view was awesome. I was looking forward to something more elegant. I did not like the fact that I paid the same amount of money as people who set in the AC due to first on first serve inside seats. I was forced to sit outside but it turned out better. Beginning of tour it was slightly raining so I would've preferred to sit inside. Food, band, service was good! read more

We scheduled my sister's wedding here in December. Everyone we worked with was beyond wonderful and accommodating. The day of the wedding the temperature dropped to the 30s and the crew worked together to ensure everyone had a great time! We planned everything within a month and it all went smoothly! I can't say enough good things! I will plan other events in the future through harbor lights! Thank you! read more

We just had our quarterly corporate recognition event on 8/2/2018 and we decided to do an evening cruise on Harbor Lights. What a great decision! I can't say enough great things about this boat and its owners & crew. Michael, Phil and Fernando were so warm and friendly from the moment I got there to setup till the very end when they helped me to my car with all of my things. The boat itself is in immaculate shape. Very clean and the perfect size for our group of 50 people. The air conditioner on the lower level worked great too, thankfully since it was a warm summer night. I was able to hook my phone up and play music for our guests and they had a microphone and PA system available for when my boss did his speech. They also had recommended a caterer for me to use that was phenomenal. The ride was so smooth and the surroundings were beautiful. Everyone in my group agreed that it was the best event we've ever done! I would highly recommend them! read more

Wow! What a great way to wind down a work week. My group of 6 enjoyed a nice, refreshing cruise around the harbor after dinner. The location to the restaurants made for an easy couples date with a great ending. The booking process and directions for parking were spot on and easy to follow. The moonlight cruise was fun and the atmosphere was light and relaxing. Tell Captain Randy and the rest of the crew "Hello". read more

I really enjoyed this cruise. It was a laidback, comfortable experience. The crew was nice. The boat was spacious and clean. I really enjoyed being able to bring food and drink. Additionally, they had free soft drinks. I loved that the the tip was already included and you knew exactly how much. I do not mind tipping, but I abhor the "cup" going around or feeling pressured to tip. If I want to give extra, I know how and do not need anyone reminding me. I loved that they did not do that. It had rained a lot prior to.our trip, but we received several updates about the weather and received th e final update hours before departure. I am giving 4 stars, not 5 because I do feel the music coupd have been better. I realize it is difficult to please everyone, but an attempt at an equal mix of top 20 genres should be made. I do not feel it was. The music, in my opinion, should be for the guests, not the crew. It was a good time and a good value, and I would definitely do it again. read more
