We had a GREAT time! Tom and Wendy (owners/drivers) were so hospitable and fun! They provide life jackets and noodles. Bathroom, AC, chairs, tables...it was great. Just BYOB and food and you're good to go! So glad we did it!!

What an amazing experience! I rented the boat for my son's graduation and my other son's 21st birthday. Tom and Wendy went out of their way to make sure we all had an amazing time. Family and friends were raving about the wonderful time they had. Highly recommend

I highly recommend Tom and Sunshine Machine Boat Tours! We rented the boat on a Saturday for a Bachelorette Patty and it was perfect! We will definitely be back for other parties and events.

Had a wonderful time today! Tom and Carl took care of us and put up with a 13 person bachelorette party. The boat was perfect and their customer service far exceeded others! I highly recommend using Sunshine Machine Boat Tours the next time you're in the Austin area!!!!

We were really pleased with our rental and highly recommend Sunshine Machine. Very professional, family run company. Tom (the owner) replies quickly to emails/phone calls and was extremely helpful, including when we had to reschedule our event because of heavy rain. The website pictures of the boat don't do it justice - it's a very nice, well-maintained, comfortable boat. We would definitely rent from them again.

I just had a bachelorette party for my sister last weekend with Sunshine Machine Boat Tours. The experience was AWESOME to say the least - I seriously cannot say enough great things about it. The boat owners are so laid back and awesome, and were very gracious even though I'm sure we were obnoxiously excited at times! The girls have declared it the BEST bachelorette party they've every been to, and have given me major props for organizing it (of course a big part of the credit needs to go to Tom and his wife of SMBT)!
Will definitely be booking with them again, and recommending to all my friends! :DHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chelsea P.Palos Park, IL01Jul 30, 2014
Such a great day on the lake! We rented this boat for a bachelorette party, and I can't think of one negative thing to say. Tom was so helpful and easy to work with. He was also fun to have on the boat, very personable! The boat is gorgeous. Lots if beautiful woodwork on the inside. Plenty of seating both inside and outside on the top deck. Plenty of tables for food, coolers for drinks, and tubs and noodles for swimming. I honestly think the price is cheap for all you get. This was a day we will be talking about for the rest of our lives.
We also ordered a catered lunch of wraps from ski shores cafe, which is right next to the boat. Their wraps were delicious, and it was nice to have food already on the boat when we arrived. Such a easy process!
Don't hesitate... Book a group outing now!

Taking a tour on the Sunshine Machine was the most relaxing thing I've done in YEARS. Totally laid-back. Cool. The owners really know what they're doing. They create an atmosphere of calm and tranquility. Well-equipped, comfortable boat. Great music selection or take your own tunes. Chill out on a couch in the main cabin, perch in a chair on the front deck to enjoy the breeze, or soak up some rays up top. Just sit back and enjoy the cruise! Ahhhh.
