Award-winning Harris 230 Sunliner Pontoon with Captain | Best of 2023
We had such a great experience on our pontoon boat rental thanks to our captain, Frank. He was professional, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Frank went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and having a great time the entire trip. We stopped at one perfect spot, and it was exactly what we needed—calm water, great scenery, and the ideal place to kick back and enjoy the day. Frank made sure we had everything we needed and created such a chill, fun atmosphere that we never felt rushed or stressed. If you’re booking a boat and want someone dependable, easygoing, and thoughtful—ask for Frank. Highly recommend!

Double Decker Pontoon Party Boat on Lake Travis
It was so much fun!!! Great value for the size of the boat and everyone was so nice and they even helped up bring our stuff down the hill. It’s in a separate section of the marina so you don’t have to pay the drop off/parking fee either 🥰 Only hiccup was the grill but that’s a small part of the experience.

Pontoon Boat for Charter up to 9 people in Texas
Nita was our captain for our "Moms Trip 2025" and she was absolutely AMAZING! She was professional, easy to talk to, and overall a fun time. We had so much fun dancing, singing and laying out on the lily pad. I highly recommend booking them for your next trip to Lake Travis!

*5-STAR Wake Surf Experience on Lake Travis!!*
Highly recommend Megan’s boat for a day of wake surfing on Lake Travis. Saibree was our captain and was fantastic. She made sure we were taken care of and provided great coaching for everyone on board to improve their surfing.

Party Cove Pontoon Rental on Lake Travis, ATX
We had a great time on our trip, even though there was some rain! The boat was very nice and so was the captain. He did a great job communicating with us and making sure we enjoyed ourselves while being safe.
