What you'll do:

Trade crowded bars and fixed schedules for four hours of private lake time aboard a captained pontoon on Lake Travis, where your group decides the pace and the views do the rest.

• Private boat charter: Your group has the entire boat to yourselves, creating a personalized experience with no shared passengers and no interruptions.

• Experienced captain included: A USCG-licensed captain takes care of navigation, anchoring, and safety so everyone can enjoy the lake stress-free.

• Swim, float, or cruise: Spend the day exploring scenic coves, relaxing on floating lily pads, swimming in clear water, or simply cruising along the shoreline.

• Entertainment built in: Bluetooth speakers, coolers filled with ice, life jackets, and water gear are included with every charter.

• Flexible lake experience: Whether your group wants a lively party atmosphere or a laid-back afternoon on the water, the itinerary is entirely up to you.

With vessel options accommodating groups from 6 to 24 guests, there's a boat size that fits everything from a casual outing to a full-scale celebration.

Why we love it for your group:

• Completely customizable: Your captain helps tailor the day around your group's preferences, from swimming spots to sightseeing routes.

• Perfect for celebrations: Bachelorette parties, birthdays, bachelor weekends, reunions, and friend getaways all feel elevated on the water.

• No boating experience needed: Simply show up with your group and enjoy the day while the captain handles everything else.

• Bring your own favorites: Guests 21 and older can bring their preferred food and drinks, making the experience both personal and budget-friendly.

• Lake Travis at its best: Explore one of Texas' most popular recreational lakes from the comfort of a private boat instead of a crowded shoreline.

Whether you're looking for a relaxing float day or an unforgettable celebration, a private Lake Travis charter offers one of the easiest ways to enjoy Austin's most iconic outdoor destination.
