Had an awesome time with Captain Mike on the lake making great memories for our family! Went wake boarding and tubing and even hit the rope swing. Lots of laughs and good music and chill time on the lake. Will definitely do again!!

Austin’s Best Lake Experience! Watersports included - up to 17ppl
Freddie and his boat exceeded expectations! He was extremely communicative and flexible - we had a blast on lake Austin, surfing, cruising and even hit a rope swing! He offered a little discount in his quote and even went out of his way to take extra photos of me and my friends and took us over time through Little Italy so that my friends got to experience it! Will 100% be booking again and would absolutely recommend booking with Freddie!🔥🤠

27ft Sun Tracker Tritoon on Lake Austin *Only Lake Austin*
I have to say Jason at Happy Hour Adventures is one of the best times on the lake. He is very communicative, and everything is better than advertised. A fun boat captain, a stellar boat, and easy pick up and drop off. I highly recommend this guy! I will be using them again and again.

Beautiful Super Air Nautique G23 Ready to Make Your Weekend.
After going out on the water with Alex I can’t imagine considering any other option next time we look to rent a boat. Alex was patient, knowledgeable and extremely generous with his time. Not to mention a real badass dude. Highly and strongly recommend you book with Alex and I’m certain you won’t regret it no matter the dynamic or age of your group and intentions you have out on the lake. Cheers Alex, you the man!
