Austin: The Bachelorette Party Capital of Texas
Austin has become the go-to destination for bachelorette parties, and it is easy to see why. The city offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventure, incredible dining, vibrant nightlife, and that uniquely Austin charm that makes every experience feel special. Add in a day on Lake Travis with your best friends, and you have a bachelorette weekend that the bride-to-be will never forget.
At Keep Austin Wet Watercraft, we host bachelorette groups every single week during peak season. A boat day on Lake Travis is consistently rated as the number one activity by bachelorette parties visiting Austin. Here is your insider guide to planning the perfect weekend.
The Lake Day: The Main Event
The highlight of any Austin bachelorette party is the boat rental. Our Tiki Vibes Party Boats are the overwhelming favorite among bachelorette groups. The tropical decor, premium sound system, and spacious layout create the perfect setting for matching swimsuits, themed accessories, and all the photos your group could want.
For larger bachelorette parties, our Double Decker Party Boats take the experience to the next level with two decks of space and incredible lake views from the upper level. And for smaller, more intimate groups, our Pontoon Party Boats offer a comfortable and affordable option.
Decorate the boat with banners, balloons, and party supplies to make it extra special for the bride. Bring a cooler with champagne, seltzers, and plenty of water. Do not forget sunscreen, matching cover-ups, and a waterproof phone case for all those lakeside photos.
Morning: Brunch and Spa
Start the day right with brunch at one of Austin’s hottest spots. Perla’s on South Congress is a classic choice with its gorgeous patio and seafood-focused menu. Suerte and Emmer & Rye are also excellent options for groups. For a more casual vibe, Bouldin Creek Cafe and Jo’s Coffee are local favorites.
If the group wants to add some pampering, book a group spa session before the boat. Milk + Honey is a popular Austin spa that offers group packages perfect for bachelorette parties.
Evening: Dinner and Dancing
After the boat, clean up and head out for dinner. South Congress, Rainey Street, and the 2nd Street District all have excellent restaurants that can handle larger groups. After dinner, the Austin nightlife scene is your oyster.
Rainey Street is the most popular nightlife destination for bachelorette groups. The converted bungalow bars offer a mix of craft cocktails, food trucks, and outdoor patios. East 6th Street is another great option with more of an artsy, eclectic vibe. And for groups that want to dance, West 6th Street has several clubs and bars with DJs and dance floors.
