‍

The Origin Story That Started It All

What began as a spur-of-the-moment idea from a girlfriend trying to salvage a boat loan turned into a family-run business that’s now an Austin institution.

‍

“My girlfriend at the time suggested it to me after I got laid off from the oil field—to help pay the note on a brand-new boat I had just bought without a job. That was 11 years ago. Now she’s my wife, we have two beautiful daughters, and well…good job babe! This is all because of my amazing wife.”

‍

That kind of heart (and hustle) is baked into every Lonestar booking. They know what a lake day can mean for a group, and they go the extra mile to make it one you’ll never forget.

‍

Make It the Highlight of the Weekend

So many Austin weekends start with a bang, and too many people waste that precious first day with average activities. Don’t be that group.

‍

Instead, rally your crew, stock the cooler, and let the lake set the tone.

‍

Whether you’re launching a full send with a party barge or just chasing waves with your besties behind a surf boat, Lonestar Boats bring the fun, freedom, and floaty vibes to make the rest of your Austin weekend legendary.
