A Dream Lake Day Starts Here!! Super Air Nautique on Lake Austin
We all had an amazing time with Michael out on his boat! He was very knowledgeable about the lake and was also safe and instructive. We did wake surfing and tubing. He is able to accommodate all levels and provide tips for improvement. Would highly recommend!

28' Party Boat 'Swifty' *Only Lake Austin*
We had the BEST time out on the water for our bachelorette party thanks to Matt! He was professional, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the vibe was absolutely perfect for our group. Matt went above and beyond to make sure we were having a great time—everything from the music to the route was spot on. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and we’re so glad we booked with him. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free day on the water!

Beautiful Super Air Nautique G23 Ready to Make Your Weekend
Alex was the perfect boat driver! He was extremely communicative, timely, professional, and lots of fun. His boat was very nice and clean. We had time to surf and stop in the cove on the lily pad. We will certainly be booking Alex again!

Lake Austin Boat Rental Tige 24' Surfing/Tubing/Party
Johnny was an absolute legend! He taught a bunch of us how to wakesurf like pros (or at least look cool trying), took us on the wildest tubing rides, and kept the vibes high with the perfect playlist all day long. Super fun, super chill, and just the kind of energy you want out on the water. 10/10 would ride with Captain Johnny again!

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.
