Join like-minded free thinkers and help support the Atheist Community of Austin with a fun summer evening on the water! Due to overwhelming interest, we have reserved TWO boats this year, making 190 seats available!


Boat #1 will feature Forrest Valkai,and other hosts of the The Atheist ExperienceTalk Heathen, and The Non-Prophets!

Boat #2 will feature JMike, and other hosts of the The Atheist ExperienceTalk Heathen, and The Non-Prophets!

We'll also have some of the crew members and staff on the boats as well, so you can chat with the people that make the magic happen! Both boats will provide lots of time for all onboard to mingle and chat throughout the THREE-hour cruise around Lady Bird Lake.

  • Boat seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
  • Each boat seats a total of 100 people.
  • Once a boat's capacity is reached, ticket-holders will be directed to the other boat.
  • Boarding begins at 6:00pm, both boats launch promptly at 6:30pm.

Arrive early to claim a spot on the boat of your choice. Directional signage and volunteers will be onsite starting at 5:30pm to help make sure you find your boat.   

Once underway, both boats will take a leisurely float up-river, allowing a unique vantage point from which to enjoy downtown Austin. As the sun moves toward the horizon, the boats will circle around and head toward the Congress Avenue Bridge, home to the world's largest urban bat colony! The boats will pause at the bridge at sundown to wait for the emergence of the bats. It's a breath-taking spectacle!  

Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks included with ticket purchase!

WHAT TO BRING: Bring yourself and a friend (or friends!) and we'll provide a snack buffet and non-alcoholic drinks (bottled water, sodas, etc.)
