On the Lake packages include a departure cruise from Hurst Harbor Marina where you will be able to select a suitable location to have the 'Southern Riviera' beached at which time the Captain & Crew will secure the 'Southern Riviera' and leave you to enjoy your trip. We will return on your departure date to Captain the 'Southern Riviera' back to the place of your departure. The logistics of securing a boat the size of the 'Southern Riviera' prevent it’s use as a “taxi” to shuttle guests back to the place of your departure or take them to water front restaurants. We suggest the rental of a pontoon or similar boat for this purpose. Our most popular beaching locations are in Travis County Parks like Arkansas Bend, where guests may meet you at your beached location. Insurance restrictions will not permit anyone but our Staff to operate the 'Southern Riviera'! If you would like to take a lake cruise from your beached location for enjoyment or re- provisioning of the 'Southern Riviera' (gas, fresh water or septic pump out) you may arrange for a Captain & Crew at a charge of $70.00/hr with a 3hr minimum. Safety and insurance concerns prevent the 'Southern Riviera' from being operated at night. You are responsible for fuel on all Trip Packages. Contact us as soon as possible to book your event. Holiday weekends book FAST.
In the Marina. Smaller budget?? Enjoy all the 'Southern Riviera' has to offer without leaving the dock.
Day Trips for Lake Cruising are $350.00/hr. (4 hour minimum) This includes fuel for engines and generator, use of the hot tub, bedrooms for changing, kitchen & bar facilities and sound systems. Things you should bring include: food, beverages, towels, sun screen, ice to initially chill your beverages (we have 3 ice makers on board ) , MP3 Music on CD or MP3 Player. We provide a Captain & Crew to operate the boat.
Deposits & Other Details: All bookings require 25% down to hold a date with the balance due 60 days before departure or stay. A security authorization hold of $1,500 will be placed on a major credit card one day prior to departure. The security authorization is released less the final cost of fuel and damages, in the event they occur. We give you a clean and well appointed houseboat and expect that it will be returned needing only light cleaning and linens.
Cancellation Policy: We will make every effort to rebook your reservation should the need for cancellation arise. However, since we often turn away bookings for reserved dates, we reserve the right to retain the 25% down payment in the event we are unable to rebook your cancelled reservation. The sooner we learn of a cancellation, the better the chance we will rebook the boat and can refund your trip.
