Each moment is treated with care, respect, and the passion that drives us to deliver only the best.

Every journey, every stay, and every adventure with Love & Boat is a chance to embrace the extraordinary.

Love Notes

Love and Boat was such a fun and unique experience! The hosts were friendly and decorated the boat perfectly for our event. You can bring your own food/drink which was super cool. We had a fantastic time!

My husband got back from deployment and our first stop was an intimate picnic specially crafted to fit our families style. Afterwards he told me, “that’s exactly what I needed to just decompress and enjoy my family.”

- Amber

Stella and her team really took the time to create a unique experience for us, and I have recommended it to everyone I know. It is such a cool concept, that’s worth every penny. We will definitely have a day with them again soon!

- Mrs. Glesener

This was honestly the most fun experience I have had on Lady Bird Lake ever! The boat was set up with really great sandwiches, drinks and extra fun details like personalized pictures, games, a polaroid camera and more.
