Sail Austin Charters

I am an experienced boater, grew up on the water, and now I love Sail Austin Charters on Lake Travis with Captain Tim Best, who is a true master of sailing. Our recent sunset sailing trip for 3 hous on Sail Austin was so great, that I am taking time to tell you in my first review of 2021. Sail Austin Charters was an awesome good time! Our sunset cruise on Captain Tim’s beautiful, huge 45 foot Hunter sailboat this evening was superb and a great experience for our family of 4 adults. Captain Tim’s mastery of sailing is evident, and the passenger experience is thoughtful from the moment you come aboard. The trip begins with non-slip boarding steps that are well-designed to make each step easy and gentle particularly for non-sailors. Wear shoes you can remove on the boat to prevent scuff marks, and bring aboard only your finest white wine, because it’s no shoes and no reds to avoid discoloration of the gleaming white boat and super clean, comfy seat cushions big enough for napping. Be sure to go forward, or aft, grab a big cushion and lay back to watch the sails and sky. You will appreciate the cleanliness! The sun, wind and water are so calming that you will want to run part of the sail in quiet mode to hear the wind and water, before breaking out one of Captain Tim’s signature Sail Austin Spotify music playlists on the solid sound system. Be sure to try the two blue flying rail seats fitted on the rear rail of the boat for spectacular views and just enough adrenaline rush. Or join Tim in the cockpit and learn about sailing. When visiting Austin, sailing with Master Captain Tim Best on Sail Austin is an unsurpassed pleasure and not to be missed.

What a great experience on the water with Cap’n Tim. Great instructions, conversation, photography, instructions, stories, and music. Sailing is truly his passion and made for a very fun, peaceful, and interesting evening. Highly recommend

Captain Tim was very informative when onboarding and super accommodating to us! My fiancé and I were celebrating our engagement and Tim has an amazing personality and extremely skilled. We felt so safe and the lake was incredible. We were so impressed, we hope to be repeat customers! I would recommend his private charters to anyone. You won’t regret it! The boat is beautiful and we even got to swim! I’d give him 10 stars if I could. Thank you Captain Tim!

Captain Tim was awesome. We really enjoyed our time with him. He was knowledgeable, friendly and overall fun to be around. You won't regret picking him for your charter.

Captain Tim was such a pleasant and knowledgeable captain. He was extremely patient, accommodating and helped us get comfortable with the water. We had such an amazing time and didn’t even realize when the 4 hours were up. Do yourself a favour and book a charter with him!
