Suntex Marinas, the Dallas-based owner and operator of marina properties, announced the official Grand Opening Celebration of Crosswater Yacht Club (CYC), the newest marina project on Lake Travis. The Grand Opening Celebration is scheduled for Sunday, May 19th, from noon until 7pm. The community is invited to come out for a full day of family fun. Crosswater Yacht Club staff will be on hand to show everyone around the new facility, answer any questions, and guests will even have the opportunity to pick out and reserve their future slip.

“Our CYC team is so excited about the opening of the newest marina on Lake Travis with the best access at just about any lake level,” said Roland Adams, General Manager of Crosswater Yacht Club. “We can’t wait to celebrate with the community and to see everyone out at the Grand Opening.”



Some of the activities planned for the Grand Opening Celebration on the 19th include a bounce house, trackless train, Games2U trailer and face painting for the kids. All of the Austin area boat dealers including Austin Boats and Motors, Boat Town, Central Texas Watersports, Sail and Ski Center, Ski Dock and South Austin Marine will be at the marina with new boats to show on the water. The award-winning Trashed and Burned BBQ team sponsored by Rekon Services will be cooking some delicious food for everyone, and popular Austin band, “LC Rocks”, is scheduled to play from 4-7pm on a floating stage in the marina. Watersport demos will take place throughout the day including demos by Tige Pro Surfer, Ashley Kidd, and wakeboarder, Billy Garcia; stand up paddle boarding and kayak demos; an amazing demo from Aquafly, a new fly-board company here on Lake Travis; and Airscape Parasail will be on hand.

Crosswater Yacht Club is also organizing a charity raffle to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation. Raffle tickets will be on sale in the Hurst Harbor Marina office starting May 1st and will be sold throughout the day of the Grand Opening Celebration. Prize winners will be drawn starting at 4:30pm. Prizes will range from a parasail ride ($75 value) to a free annual slip at Crosswater Yacht Club (up to $6550 value). All proceeds will benefit this deserving cause.

The new facility features 247 wet slips, a ship store with fuel dock, golf cart access to the docks for slip owners, an integrated wave attenuator, a concrete 125-space parking lot, gated entry and large common deck area that will give Crosswater Yacht Club an unmistakable "Club" feel.
