Horseshoe Bay Resort, located in the heart of the stunning Texas Hill Country and part of the esteemed Crescent Hotels & Resorts’ Latitudes collection, has recently unveiled an exciting new luxury offering. The resort is excited to unveil the Lady Bird II Dining Yacht, a sophisticated and luxurious floating venue crafted to offer unforgettable experiences as it glides along the serene, constant-level waters of Lake Lyndon B. Johnson (Lake LBJ). This exquisite addition to the resort promises to offer guests an unparalleled setting for a wide array of special events, from holiday parties to weddings, milestone anniversaries, and corporate functions.
The Lady Bird II Dining Yacht offers a unique and distinctive venue for both intimate and large gatherings, allowing guests to experience the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country from the comfort and elegance of a state-of-the-art yacht. The 85-foot yacht can accommodate between 30 and 85 guests, making it ideal for a variety of events, including seated dinners, cocktail receptions, and lively celebration-style parties.
“Floating on Lake LBJ, the Lady Bird II Dining Yacht will be a signature addition to our luxury venue collection,” said Lacee Jordan, sales director of Horseshoe Bay Resort. “The yacht features two gathering spaces, the upper deck where guests can enjoy the fresh air or a gorgeous Texas sunset with cocktail service from the built-in bar, while guests on the lower deck can relax or dine in an enclosed, climate-controlled space. This unique venue offers a truly memorable experience.”
One of the standout features of the Lady Bird II is its customizable nature. Whether hosting a corporate event, an anniversary celebration, or a wedding, the yacht offers a tailored experience with flexible gourmet catering options, ensuring that every guest’s culinary preferences are met. The yacht is also equipped with entertainment choices that can be customized to fit the tone and style of any event. From live music to multimedia presentations, the possibilities for entertainment are endless, making the Lady Bird II an outstanding option for events that require a truly special and memorable setting.
Beyond the beautiful views and gourmet offerings, the Lady Bird II is staffed with a licensed captain and a full crew to ensure that each event runs seamlessly. Guests can relax and enjoy the festivities knowing that they are in the hands of professionals who are dedicated to providing top-notch service and hospitality. Whether guests are indulging in the finest dining or simply soaking in the picturesque surroundings, the crew is there to attend to every detail, ensuring an elevated experience for everyone on board.
Named after Lady Bird Johnson, the former First Lady of the United States and a proud native of Texas, the Lady Bird II Dining Yacht is a tribute to her lasting legacy and connection to the Lone Star State. Lady Bird Johnson was known for her efforts to beautify America, particularly through her work with the Highway Beautification Act, and the yacht’s name is a fitting homage to her dedication to conserving and celebrating natural landscapes. The vessel provides guests with an intimate way to experience the natural beauty of Lake LBJ and the surrounding Texas Hill Country while celebrating the legacy of one of Texas’ most beloved figures.
As a stunning new addition to the Horseshoe Bay Resort portfolio, the Lady Bird II Dining Yacht is poised to become one of the resort’s most sought-after venues for group gatherings and special occasions. Whether guests are celebrating a milestone event or hosting a corporate retreat, the yacht offers a one-of-a-kind experience that can’t be replicated on land.
