With miles of shoreline to explore, a boat rental is a must in South Padre Island. If you're spending Spring Break on the Texas Gulf Coast, book a party boat rental and cruise around South Padre Island. SPI is an easy place to rent a boat, book a guided fishing charter, or zip around on a jet ski. If you want to explore the beaches and coves of South Padre, rent a kayak and paddle yourself along the coast. Pontoon rentals are a popular boat choice in South Padre, along with motor yachts and deck boats. Cruise from Isla Blanca on the southern tip of the Island (don’t miss the USA’s largest sandcastle!) to the birdwatching nature preserve on the north side of South Padre. You’ll pass Gravity Park, a waterfront amusement park that is a big attraction on the island. You can see dolphins swimming in the Gulf on your boat rental, an amazing experience to have when visiting the coast of Texas. You can also enjoy activities like watersports - waterskiing, wakeboarding, and banana boat rides are popular for visitors on vacation on South Padre Island.

Thomas & Kenneth were great and accommodated our group last minute, for my sister's bachelorette trip! Gave us great recommendations and were super responsive with our questions.
Fun and amazing experience, I strongly recommend Cap Jon
If you are hesitant about booking, let me do you a favor and tell you to just book now! This was the most incredible boating experience I've had in Corpus Christi. Captain Mike made our experience absolutely unforgettable! He goes above and beyond with his hospitality, knowledge of the area, and great attitude. We booked for my friends birthday and loved every second of our boating experience. There were 9 of us total and the boat was very comfortable. Having the kitchen and toilet facilities on board made it so easy to prepare snacks and food for the party. Captain Mike showed us Corpus Christi from a unique, beautiful perspective. I'll be talking about this with my friends and family for the next few months and recommending this experience to everyone I know!
This was a great rental! My family and I had a great time! Easy pick up. Great communication. We enjoyed it so much we decided to add some time, and they were accommodating. We saw dolphins, got to fish, and swim. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Thank you guys!
Everything on the boat worked as expected including bluetooth stereo, 12 volt plug, live well, etc. Super clean and everything was in tip-top shape. Ran flawlessly. It was the best boat rental experience I have had in terms of quality of the vessel.
We had a great time renting Kenneth’s boat. It was clean and large enough for our group of 7. Kenneth and his host, Thomas communicated well throughout the time leading up to the trip and day of. Will keep Kenneth’s boat in mind next time we’re in the area.
