A Dream Lake Day Starts Here!! Super Air Nautique on Lake Austin
I would recommend Michael if you want to go out on the lake for wakeboarding, etc. He is a good drummer. He communicates and wants you to have a good time. He was flexible in what we wanted to do. You can’t go wrong in hiring Michael! We had a great time!

28' Party Boat 'Swifty' *Only Lake Austin*
Jason and our Captain Matt were awesome! Matt was easy to communicate with, on time, and helpful. He toured our party of 14 year old girls around the lake showing them a GREAT time! The pink boat was well maintained, clean and super cute! My daughter said that it was her best birthday party ever! We will definitely rent from them again and request Matt and Jason!

21 ft Cobalt with toys and awesome stereo. Have a BLAST on Lake Austin!!
I booked this boat last minute and everything worked out very well. It’s important to have to proper expectations about this boat. It’s about 20 years old but everything worked well. I suspect it has a newer engine but I’m not sure. We bought 4 adults and 4 kids on the boat and it was a bit crowded. I would not recommend bringing 8 adults. Mike dropped us off and picked us up at the boat launch and he was very nice. The lake is very crowded close to the boat launch but we drove a few miles towards the dam and it was much better.

Beautiful Super Air Nautique G23 Ready to Make Your Weekend
Alex is the best! I wanted my family to try wakeboarding for the first time. Alex had the patience of a saint while everyone tried to learn how to get up. His boat was clean and beautiful, and he made sure we were all safe. I would recommend Alex to anyone!

Premium Experience - Everything you need to surf, wakeboard, tube, and swim.
Tony is a very knowledgeable and excellent captain. His communication leading up to the booking was great and he answered all my questions in a timely manner. The boat day was great and he did well teaching us how to wake surf! We’ll be booking Tony again in the future and highly recommend!

22' 2022 Veranda Pontoon - Lake Travis
Brett communicated really well about directions and timing. We had questions the evening before and he was able to answer promptly. Everyone in my group enjoyed the experience. Our captain, Matt, really knows the area and the boats – which we appreciated.
