Chris is the best option for renting a boat to exploring the lake with.. I genuinely enjoyed spending time with him as he is funny, will make sure you are safe, will BBQ on his grill for you on the boat!!!! We had such a great time and will definitely be back. If you want a fun trip on the lake he is your guy to call!!!!!! read more

Captain Chris took our party out on an excellent sunset tour this past weekend! Very friendly and welcoming crew, he knew a lot about the area and ran a tight ship. Overall, would recommend this company again for other time slots to try out some mid day grilling on the board, that also had a slide and Lilly pad for lounging in the sun. Such an excellent time!! Thank you so much GTT read more

What can I say- we love Good Time Tours! We are repeat customers and love Captain Chris! They have great customer service and the boat is in impecable condition. Last year we rented the 15 person barge and it was nice to have a grill, this year we downsized to the 10 person barge and it was just as fun! We had captain Dave this year and he totally made our entire experience extremely memorable. He was very accommodating and we will definitely be back next year! read more

We went out on a boat with Captain Dave for a bachelorette party and had a fantastic time! He really looked out for us and made sure we had a good time. We had some rain during our trip but still had a great time. Highly recommend! read more

The sunset cruise is definitely a must do. We were greeted by Captain Matt who gave us a great cruise experience. He stopped in the perfect sunset spot for my brother proposal. (Captain Matt we were delighted to have you share in this special moment and giving us a lifetime memory on Lake Travis). Great Job! About the boat: Clean Double Deck pontoon with a slide, awesome sound system (once paired with my phone smooth jazz for sailing). I would recommend taking this cruise for sure! We will be back read more

This is my second time using Captain Chris' boat for a party and my gosh both groups could not stop talking about how much fun they had. Captain Chris has two simple rules, 1) respect the boat and 2) have fun. He grills for you while you swim, has the best lily pad and water slide, and an immaculately clean boat. It's a guaranteed good time on board. We rented the 17 seater both times and had a blast. Thanks captain Chris! We are getting our dates for 2022 ready for you!! read more

Another 5 stars!!!! I had to write another review since we just experienced the boat tour today! I want to thank Captain Kris and Captain Matt! They are absolutely amazing and so kind! We finally celebrated my sister's bachelorette party and even though it rained for part of it, Captain Matt made us have an awesome time!!! We had so much fun! I definitely recommend this company! read more

Highlight of the weekend! Captain Dave is a professional and took good care of us out on the water. I recommend going through Good Time Tours for bachelor/ette parties, large groups or just a nice day out on the water. read more

Our group had an absolute blast with Captain Kris last week. He ran a tight ship, handled anything we needed with respect to food, drinks, music. Highly recommend Good Time Tours. read more

Captain Kris kept our family of 17 (including grandparents, parents, little kids) safe and having a ton of fun out on The lake. So much fun, that we booked an evening outing before we finished the daytime outing, went home for dinner, and came back for fireworks on the lake. Captain Kris made sure we always had a beer while letting the kids jump off the boat and go down the slide. We felt safe, taken care of, and definitely in the right hands. Even though we weren't his usual clientele, he made the switch from bachelor party to kid-friendly outing with ease! I NEVER write Yelp reviews, but this was worth it. We came out from California and would do it again with Captain Kris and Good Time!! read more

Captain Kris is the BEST option if you want to get out on Lake Travis and have a perfect day in the sun. We went on a sunset tour for a family reunion and we can't stop raving about what a great time we had. The boat is perfect - sun and shade, upper and lower level, super plush and comfortable. The slide and the lily pad made it even more fun. But the real win here is Kris. He kept us safe, but was also a total blast. We all loved him. He scouted the perfect spot for us, cooked us a great meal and took care of us all day. He's so fun! We were expecting a great day, but it was really beyond any expectation we had. Kris is the king of the lake. Do yourself a favor a book a tour with him. Can't recommend Good Time Tours and Captain Kris enough. The best! read more

Good Time Tours - Captain Kris is the best! - Tours Near Me - Austin, Texas

This past Memorial Day weekend, the girls headed to Austin for our friend's bachelorette party and we spent Sunday with Captain Kris! The boat had plenty of space for our group of 16 and we had tons of fun hanging out. The weather was a bit spotty, but it kept it together while we were out on the water - so no complaints here! Hanging out on a boat after two long nights of drinking might not sound ideal, but the perks of being on a boat is you can make it as crazy or as low-key as you want. For us, we kept it chill at first to overcome the previous night's hangover..and then we got a little more crazy as our mojo returned after a few rounds of shots. Captain Kris is super cool and definitely brought energy to our group. He's very friendly and more importantly, extremely professional in keeping to his schedule while still being able to corral a group of drunken girls without killing the vide. This boat tour had to have been one of the highlights of the trip! One thing to mention is that we didn't go out on the lake during peak hours and were there during the early afternoon. I heard it gets a little bit crazy in the later shifts. Either way, all of us had SO MUCH FUN. I would definitely recommend Captain Kris for all your boating needs in Austin! read more

Can't say enough amazing things about Captain Kris and the entire boating experience. We loved it so much, we came back the next day!!! The double decker with the slide is a MUST. Amazing speakers, super clean boat, and of course the best captain on earth. Grilled for us, handed us drinks, had some good laughs with us and was extremely professional. We still think about the amazing time we had and can't wait to go back! Thanks again!!!! The "Spider" crew :) PS - if you're debating between the smaller and bigger boat, spend more on the bigger one, you'll thank me later. read more

We booked with Good Times for my friend's bachelorette party and had the best time! Captain Chris took us out on Lake Travis and we had a blast! He will even grill for your on the boat! Chris partners with @Keysshuttleservice and they can provide group transportation to/from the dock and anywhere around Austin. Keashon is the BEST! Definitely recommend both for a good time. read more

Captain Chris was the best captain on the lake. He grilled for us, maintained safety and helped us have so much fun! If you want a boat excursion to a fun party cove he's your guy. He also helped us find transportation around Austin and a shuttle to get to the lake on time. With captain Chris and Keys Shuttle Service we had a great day! read more

Just want to thank Captain Kris for throwing a great party and showing our group such a great time on the party barge. He took our wild bunch out to devil's cove earlier this last fall and was a great host. We brought the food and booze and he grilled and served it up. The party barge was very accommodating with a nice sound system to blast the tunes. I couldn't be more impressed with captain Kris' professionalism all the while being incredibly personable while not missing a beat. Definitely booking this party barge again this summer. Can't wait for the warm weather! read more

Captain Chris is amazing!! If you party on a boat, Party on his boat! Hospitable, friendly, and professional, taking a ride on Rambunctious! You won't regret it read more

Our visit to Austin was for a bachelorette party and we wanted to spend one of our days out on Lake Travis. We found Good Time Tours & specifically dealt with Captain Chris. We opted for the bigger boat (called the Rambunctious) and I am so happy we did! There is a slide on board, a grill and an upper level for hanging out. Captain Chris was fabulous! He took care of everything, from loading our cooler with our drinks to grilling up every last bit of our food - we literally didn't lift a finger & our only job was to enjoy ourselves! Truly worth every penny ... for the best time, Good Time Tours & Captain Chris are the way to go! Captain Chris also recommended a great shuttle service! Ask him for the details - Keyshawn & his brother Zaven are fantastic - on time, professional & fun! They will make stops along the way to get you everything you need for your day on the lake!! A MUST DO when in Austin!!!! read more

We had an incredible time on good time tours! We came for a bachelorette party and by the end of the weekend we all had agreed if we could we would of spent both days on the lake! Captain Chris the was some helpful and made sure we all had a great time!! read more

Captain Kris made my sister's bachelorette party an absolutely unforgettable event. Everyone had a blast, especially the bride! He brought us to a nice calm area of the lake that was perfect for swimming, and made sure everyone was safe. While we were in the water, he grilled and prepared all the food we brought with us so it was ready when we came back on the boat - super nice! The boat is great - clean, white, with two levels, coolers, comfortable benches all around, an awesome water slide, and even a pop-up bathroom if needed. We were a group of 12 and it was perfect, but you could have fit even more people comfortably. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

This guy overcharged me and I let him know and he got mad at me ! What a narcissist!!

Went out with Captain Kris for my bachelor party, group of 16. This was the highlight of the trip for everyone by far. Kris is in a tier of his own as a captain. If you're going out to Lake Travis, be sure to book him. read more

We couldn't of asked for a better experience. This is the 2nd time we have booked with him and both times were fantastic. Captain Chris is extremely attentive from the moment we walked up he grabbed all of our belongings and took care of separating all the food and putting the drinks out. He definitely goes above and beyond thru the entire experience, he walked around making sure we were good on drinks and even barbecued for us. He feels like part of your group, laughing and dancing etc. and if he feel like things need to step it up a notch he is all about watching the vibe of the party and doing what they want. We will never use anybody else but Captain Chris! read more

This was the best experience of our trip! All parents must consider taking your kids out on the barges! So much fun. read more

We had such a good time on good time tours. The boat was very spacious and clean! We had a group of 18 girls and it was our favorite part of Austin! Captain kris was AMAZING! He made our food for us and made sure the girls in the water always had drinks. Thank you so much for making the day so fun! read more

Captain Kris provides excellent service! Fun and inclusive atmosphere. You'll make the best memories and be sure to have not only a good time, but a GREAT time! read more

Captain Chris is an All Star. He made sure everyone had an amazing time. Such a great day. 10/10 would recommend.

My family was in Austin for a long overdue Family Reunion. We are a retired military family and all of us are living in different states. We make a point to visit often, but with Covid, it was difficult. We are all vaccinated and decided it was time to get together for family and for some fun! If visiting with family wasn't a highlight all by itself, my sister located Good Time Tours! Kris did not disappoint us - what a fantastic event for our family!! The boat itself exceeded our expectations, the weather was perfect, and Kris took very good care of all of us. His boat includes amenities much nicer than many of those we saw on the water - white leather seating on lower and upper levels, private bathroom, upper deck, slide (so so fun), a floating pad that holds our several people, and, yes, if you bring food, Kris will cook for you too. Kris's personality is absolutely what you need . . . He pays attention to detail and is a no-nonsense when it comes to his boat and his business. I HIGHLY recommend Kris (with his personality+) and the Good Time Tours for your next outing with friends or family. Kris, we'll be back!! Thank you for making the day fantastic and one to remember.

I can't say enough good things about Captain Kris and Good Time Tours. We booked an afternoon for a family reunion including my 88 year old Mom. We had a blast and Captain Kris took such good care of us. Not just captaining the boat, but acting as our chef and personal butler. Such a lovely pristine boat, a beautiful afternoon and a wonderful experience! read more

When it comes to service, making sure everyone is having the best time, it does not get better than Captain Dave. Legend.

10 of us went on the party boat for a bachelorette party and we had the BEST time! Even though the weather wasn't the greatest, we still were able to enjoy it to the fullest. Captain Kris was an amazing host - he grilled for us and was full of energy. Our entire group keeps raving about it. Can't wait to go back! read more

Thank you SO much Captain Kris for making my bachelorette weekend the absolute best! You thought of everything and we had a blast. I would HIGHLY recommend Captain Kris + Good Time Tours for anyone's event on Lake Travis. Cheers! read more

This was THE highlight of my bachelorette party!! We felt like celebs on this two story boat with a slide, bathroom, grill, and sound system. Captain Kris made everything extra special! Not only was he a professional captain, but he ended up being our chef (grilled some mean burgers) and our photographer. He brought some great energy to the boat. This is a MUST do in Austin! read more

We booked Captain Kris for my sister's bachelorette party two weeks ago and let me just say that the boat was a highlight of our trip to Austin! Captain Kris was such a blast and super professional -- the group had such a good time, we tried to book him again for the next day. The boat was the perfect size for 10 of us (and several guests from other boats) and everyone loved the slide. I would absolutely recommend that anyone planning a group trip to Austin book a day on the water with Captain Kris. You will not regret it!! P.S. We went on a Friday and it was a little slower than it would be on a Saturday. It was also a little early in the season. If you go later in the summer, Friday should still be packed, but if you go in the beginning of April like we did, I might recommend a Saturday or Sunday. Also, ask him for recommendations on transportation to and from the lake. We went with his recommendation and it worked out perfectly as well!! read more

To say we had an amazing time on our cruise with Capt. Kris is doesn't even begin to describe it. He is the absolute best. Let me start by saying that we brought a variety of meat (and even some bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers) and he grilled everything to perfection. Probably the best meal of our entire trip in Austin. He also brought us drinks and made sure we were having a blast the entire time. We were a group of 5 adults and 4 teenagers and he took us to a quiet cove for swimming, jumping off the boat, and using the slide. Even the moms got in on the fun. We had a complete blast. I would highly recommend Good Time Tours and will definitely do this again. We rented for four hours and made sure some of those hours were during sunset. Capt. Kris lit up the boat as the sun set and gave us a little cruise around the lake. It was the best night with family and by the time we got off the boat, Capt. Kris felt like family too. read more

I'd give 10 stars if I could! If you're looking for a fun time with loved ones on the lake, this is the company to go with! I surprised my mom with a private sunset cruise for her birthday 3 years ago and was so impressed by how clean and spacious the boat was (and how chill the captain was), that I knew I wanted to return one day. This past weekend, I went back to celebrate my birthday with the 4-hour ride on the "Rambunctious" boat. It was a group of 16 of us, and we all had a BLAST! Once again a spotless boat, Bluetooth connects your music through the speakers, and Captain Kris got everyone hyped up from the start. He even drove the boat to one of the ice stands along the lake (I didn't know that existed) so we could keep our drinks cold since the stores we stopped at on the way were out of ice. That was very much appreciated. Captain Kris also took the time to grill all of our food for us without missing a beat. We were truly able to just enjoy ourselves and feel safe the entire time -- let me tell you, those 4 hours flew by. I really cannot rave about Good Time Tours enough. I've already referred a couple more friends who inquired about it for their future celebrations after seeing all the photos I posted. I will definitely be back, special occasion or not. This is the real deal! Thank you, Captain Kris!!! read more

Kris was amazing. We had 19 girls for a bachelorette party and all of us had the best time. We'd go back to Austin just to do this all over again. Kris made sure we were taken care of and enjoyed ourselves. Not to mention he is a pro on the BBQ! I'd highly recommend Good time tours. Can't speak highly enough of Captain Kris!! If you're doing a boat, book with Kris 10000%! read more
