HOOKED ON LAKE TRAVIS-Bentley Pontoon[party, swim, fish]
We rented a boat for my bachelorette party, and this was everyone’s favorite part of the trip! Micah was very responsive about any questions I had, and directions about where to meet up were clear. We absolutely LOVED captain Jeff! He was so fun, friendly, and the best photographer! We all loved going out on the big lily pad in back of the boat. Captain Jeff also knew a lot of different places to take our group- to a party cove and also a private cove. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Micah and Captain Jeff!!

**PREMIUM** 2022 Sea Ray on LAKE AUSTIN
We booked with Jeramy for a bachelorette trip with 6 girls! From the moment we booked he has been amazing with communication and very helpful with every step. The boat was in pristine condition and very new. He gave us great recommendations where to go on the water and was always texting with helpful tips for driving the boat. The price compared to others was also a selling point for us. We would 100% contact Jeramy for another rental again! The options for add on’s were super convenient as well (lilly pad). Thank you again!!

Harris Crowne 270 Pontoon Boat **Lake Travis Only**
Abel is THE BEST. Our group of friends had the most amazing day thanks to Abel's fantastic attitude and knowledge of the area. The boat is huge, super comfortable, and the sound system is top notch. Can't wait to book with him again :)

Unforgettable Lake Time w/ family aboard the Top of the line Mastercraft X-Star
We had an awesome day with Tony! From start to finish, he was communicative, professional, & friendly. He took us to chill and quiet spots along the lake like we requested and was very kind and accommodating. A good guy and a true Austinite! I’ll definitely be booking with Tony again soon.

I rented a pontoon for my birthday and it was an amazing experience! We had so much fun out on the water, and Captain Jim was incredibly accommodating and made everything run smoothly. He was friendly, professional, and made sure we had a great time from start to finish. Highly recommend this place!
