Sunshine Machine Boat Tours, LLC

We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise with Sunshine Machine! Michael & Kaleigh were the perfect hosts—warm, professional, and fun. The views from the water were absolutely stunning, especially watching the sun set behind the bridge. The boat itself is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of comfortable seating for our whole group. It felt like a total nervous system reset. We’ll definitely be back again soon!

We had the absolute best time celebrating a friend’s birthday with Sunshine Machine Boat! From the start, the planning process was incredibly smooth. The owners were friendly, helpful, and super responsive, guiding us through every step and making it so easy to organize the perfect day. They clearly know what they’re doing and went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. The day of the event was seamless—the boat was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, and the crew was fantastic. They were professional, upbeat, and made us feel totally at home. We danced, laughed, and soaked up the beautiful views without a worry in the world. The birthday girl, a mom of two, said she hadn’t felt that carefree in years—which made it all the more special. We’re already looking for a reason to book again. Highly recommend!

I had THE best time out on the boat with some friends for sunset! The boat is adorably adorned and every corner is perfect for pictures! Truly could not have had a more delightful evening watching the sunset from the lily pad. I can't wait to be back!

We had a great day with Michael out on the Sunshine machine. The boat is comfortable, spacious and perfect for a group of up to 20 people. It’s definitely the coolest boat on Lake Austin. Michael is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing day out on the lake.

The attention to detail in both the boat's design and the overall experience is evident from the moment you step aboard. Kaleigh and Michael are the ultimate hosts - their hospitality and care for their guests truly sets the Sunshine Machine apart from any other lake experience. They've created something special! I highly recommend booking the Sunshine Machine to make your lake day dreams come true. It's simply the best way to experience Lake Austin with friends and family. 10 out of 10!
