We had a great time with Captain Tim! He was very skilled and knowledgeable about sailing, and provided a full safety briefing. He played a diverse playlist during our shared sunset sail, and we would not trade these memories for anything! Complementary photography was included in our sail, and the pictures were beautiful!

Sunset at the end of our sail

We had an amazing sail with Tim and could not recommend Sail Austin enough! We were celebrating a graduation, and Tim went above and beyond to make sure our 3hr sunset sail was memorable. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Tim was accommodating, kind, and knowledgeable. He customized the sail for us, making sure we had time to swim in Lake Travis and he captured great photos along the way. He also answered our many questions about sailing and Lake Travis. The boat was clean, large, and perfectly suited for lounging or enjoying a picnic dinner/wine as we did. Thanks, Tim!! We look forward to sailing with you again in the future.

Capn Tim was so amazing. Such a sweet and clearly knowledgeable man that loves what he does. Made the sail so enjoyable, we got to jump into the water, play our own music, eat some food and drink some drinks. We all chatted on the way back about just how lovely of a time we had. Thank you Captain!

Sunset prior to the fireworks show. A great view.

The way to celebrate the 4th of July holiday is on Cap'n Tim's boat. The sunset sail was a surprise birthday gift and a priceless experience. Being that this was my first time sailing, Cap'n Tim made me feel extremely comfortable before leaving the dock with his focus on safety and a good time. We could relax and enjoy the gorgeous sunset as we awaited the fireworks show. The boat is very spacious, with multiple backdrops for photo opportunities. I highly recommend experiencing as a local or entertaining guests. It's a gorgeous time on Lake Travis. I look forward to returning in the future.

Our friend organized an amazing sail boat outing for her boyfriends birthday! We are so lucky to have attended. Captain Tim was very funny, authentic, and made our first sailing experience one to remember. He captured great photos of us both posed and candid! We will definitely keep him and sail austin in mind anytime we may want to do another charter! Thanks a bunch!

Beautiful, high-quality photos were included in the package. We LOVE them.

We booked Sail Austin with Captain Tim as part of a corporate off-site, and had the BEST time. We had 16 or so people on their sailboat. Tim kept us safe and thought of everything to have a great time. The kitchen was stocked with essentials and snacks (we also brought BBQ takeout -- highly recommend!). We played our favorite music over his powerful Bluetooth speaker. The water was smooth, and we caught a beautiful sunset. We spent 4 days in Austin total and everybody agrees that this was the highlight of the trip. I hope to work with Sail Austin again soon.

Best time ever! A couples must do!!! Loved watching the sunset! Captain Tim was awesome sailing the sail boat solo!!! Must do again!!!

See all

Outbound Sailing - What a beautiful experience this was!

Outbound Sailing

(28 reviews)

My hubby and I have been yearning for the sailing life for literal years now, and we decided that…read morethis summer was the perfect time to start making that dream a reality by taking the first sailing course, ASA 101! Our initial thought was to find a sailing school in Kemah, but I wondered if there was one closer to us, and, sure enough, there is! Enter Outbound Sailing on Lake Travis. We scheduled our class right away online, and the manager, Sean, confirmed with us almost immediately. Both he and Tim, the business owner, were absolute pleasures to work with! When the day finally came for Day 1 of our ASA 101 course, we headed over to Lakeway to meet our instructor, Spencer, at the dock, and, y'all, he is seriously the most open, sweet, encouraging, and engaging person ever, and that's not hyperbole! I was extremely nervous about the whole thing, but he immediately made me feel INCREDIBLY at ease, and, we got straight to work! From beginning to end, hubby and I knew that Spencer had our backs, from the dock talks to the rigging talks to the knot talks to the hours of beautiful practice sailing. He made all of that hard work feel like pure fun! Make no mistake, though, y'all! It IS hard work, and you need to know that going in! It's an actual class, so don't expect mimosas and charcuterie boards as you sail! LOL! You need to Really. Want. To. Learn. How. To. Sail. We did, so we were all in! Pro tip: When they tell you to buy the official ASA book for the course and to study it PRIOR to the class, take them seriously! Study, and especially commit the Points of Sail and the sailboat, sails, and rigging parts to memory. Also, do the 4 review sections! It'll all make things a lot easier on you! There's a 100 multiple choice question official ASA exam that you take on the morning of Day 2, and, while Spencer was a GENIUS at preparing us for it, we were able to spend more time actually sailing because of how prepared we made ourselves ahead of time! After two intense and awesome days, hubby and I both ended up passing the course to become ASA 101 certified (yay!), but, most importantly, we truly had the time of our lives doing it, and we absolutely have Spencer LeGrande and Outbound Sailing to thank for that!

We just finished our ASA 101 training with Captain Scott, and he was very kind when explaining how…read morewe inadvertently made the sailboat do crazy things! LOL Captain Scott is a skilled sailor and a wonderful instructor... I'd take another class from him any time. Captain Tim, one of the owners, met with my wife and me before we decided to take the lessons. He spent all the time needed to answer all of our questions and explain the process. Lake Travis is a good place to take your sailing training, the winds come from all directions and are constantly changing. We are looking forward to further honing our sailing skills and sailing with Outbound Sailing. We highly recommend you check them out if you're thinking about learning to sail.
