Austin Boat tours is fantastic! The staff was extremely kind and accommodating, reaching out in advance about inclement weather. They are very upfront on what their policies are and go above and beyond for their customers. I cannot say enough good things about this business!

I gotta say, this place is amazing! The staff, the vibe, the captains, etc, all top tier. They make you feel like family and the captain that is in charge of your boat really do take care of you. Mikey is always hooking you up with some good bbq, beer and/or wine and Angel is the sweetest owner there! Come give them a visit and a try!

We had an amazing time with Austin’s Boat Tours on Lake Travis! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and fun. The boat was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group. Lee was super friendly, knowledgeable about the lake, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having a blast. Whether you’re looking to relax, swim, or just enjoy the beautiful views, this is the way to do it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a great day on the water in Austin!

I rented Austin’s boat tours for my best friends’ bachelorette party and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! We had a group of 15 girls and the boat accommodated us all perfectly with lots of room to spare. We had an incredible time partying in Devil’s Cove on Lake Travis, where we got tied up to the other boats surrounding us and it was such a great vibe, we even had the huge lily pad on the water which was so fun. We selected the option for the captain to grill lunch for us and it was incredible! So convenient, they picked us up from the house and took us right to the Lake and back home. All of the staff were super nice and friendly and ensured we had a fun, safe time. I would highly recommend!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Book with us?

We began our journey on Lake Travis with this particular type of boat, and we’ve grown to have the largest fleet of double-decker boats at our private marina. We still cater to popular destinations like Devil’s Cove or any other location requested within reason. As one of the few full-service companies, we offer not just boat rentals, but also transportation, food, servers, and lodging, ensuring a complete and hassle-free experience for our guests.

Why Book Lake Travis?

Lake Travis is a much larger lake with the famous Devil's Cove Party Cove! The vastness of Lake Travis allows you to jump off the boat or use the slide without the worry of hitting the bottom. There are a lot of options and places to go on Lake Travis vs Lake Austin!

Can we use the Grill?

The captain is available to cook for you, but if you prefer, you can use the grill yourself. Propane, trash bags and cooking utensils are provided.

Do you provide coolers/ice?

Yes, each boat comes equipped with a large cooler, and you can purchase ice at our on-site ship store to keep everything chilled without worrying about it melting on the way in.

Do you have floats/lily pad?

Yes! We sell floats and noodles at our ship store on site. We also have an air compressor available to inflate any floats you bring along. Additionally, each rental includes a lily pad for your enjoyment.

Can we decorate the boat?

Yes! You can bring items to decorate and personalize the boat for you party. We just ask that you don't use items that will damage the boat like glue, staples, etc. Please no confetti or glitter bottles!

What should I bring?

Be sure to bring your beverages, sunscreen, towels (if desired), water, and a camera to capture all the great moments you’ll have! If you forget anything don't worry we got you! Our on-site ship store sells, water, drinks, floats, sunscreen, sunglasses and much more!

What NOT to bring?

It’s best to leave any expensive items and travel documents at home, as recovering them from the bottom of the lake would be nearly impossible.

Are life jackets provided?

We provide all the adult life jackets, they are located on the boats. Youth and Toddler life jackets are NOT provided! You will need to bring your own.
