Vintage 1958 Glastron Fireflite Offers Retro-Chic Cruise Experience on Lady Bird Lake


A distinctive boating experience on Lady Bird Lake is now offering rides aboard a 1958 Glastron Fireflite, a baby pink vintage vessel built in Austin. The retro-style boat provides a unique way to explore the lake in an intimate and scenic setting.


Designed for small groups of up to four passengers, the boat is ideal for bachelorette parties, romantic outings, or relaxed gatherings with friends. A strict 750-pound weight limit ensures safety and balance throughout the cruise, while swimming, fishing, and pets are not permitted.


Guests can enjoy calm waters and panoramic views of the Austin skyline while cruising at a leisurely pace. The experience is particularly suited for photography, sunset viewing, and quiet time on the water in a stylish vintage setting.


Priced at $160 for a 90-minute ride, the rental includes Bluetooth speakers and shade options for added comfort. Recommended essentials such as sunscreen, water, and light clothing enhance the experience, making it a curated blend of nostalgia, leisure, and scenic lake travel.

What a cool experience! Boarding was super easy and the boat was really cool! They even gave us umbrellas to take out on the boat since it was a little warm. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to show folks around the city from the water.

Retro Boats ATX offers such a unique and fun way to experience Austin. The boats are stunning, easy to operate, and comfortably seat up to four people. The entire experience was fantastic, and the customer service truly stands out—they take the time to walk you through the process and even provide a map of the area. I also appreciated the added peace of mind knowing they can track the boats for everyone’s safety. I’ll definitely be booking again, especially to try the night boat ride!

Celebrated my wife’s birthday. Skylar was awesome and she was said nice. I didn’t get the gentleman’s name with her but thanks to both of you my wife had a blast and it was a great time. Will definitely recommend it.
