Vintage 1958 Tomahawk “Ethel” Offers Peaceful Scenic Cruise on Lady Bird Lake
A classic boating experience on Lady Bird Lake is offering guests a ride aboard “Ethel,” a restored 1958 Tomahawk designed for small, intimate groups. The vintage vessel provides a calm and scenic way to explore the lake’s waters and surrounding city views.
The boat accommodates up to four passengers or a maximum weight of 750 pounds, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. Its limited capacity makes it ideal for families, friends, or couples seeking a quiet and personal outing on the water.
Passengers can enjoy a slow-paced cruise while taking in Austin’s skyline and natural shoreline. Swimming and fishing are not permitted, and pets are not allowed on board, maintaining a controlled and peaceful environment throughout the ride.
Priced from $160, the rental offers an accessible opportunity to experience a vintage boat on Lady Bird Lake. With its retro design, smooth ride, and curated availability, Ethel provides a memorable and relaxed way to enjoy the water and create lasting moments.
