About this Experience

What you'll do:

Gather your crew and spend four hours cruising Lake Travis aboard King Kong, a massive double-decker party tritoon built for groups that want more space, more fun, and more time in the water.

  • Two-story party boat: King Kong's double-decker design gives your group multiple hangout areas, creating space to lounge, socialize, dance, and take in views from above the lake.

  • Twin water slides: Two side-by-side slides send guests straight into the water, turning every swim stop into part of the entertainment.

  • Private restroom on board: One of the few Lake Travis party boats equipped with its own enclosed bathroom, making longer charters significantly more comfortable.

  • Everything ready when you board: Coolers with ice, lily pads for floating, life jackets, and a premium JBL sound system are all included.

  • Captained experience: A USCG-licensed captain handles navigation, docking, and safety while your group focuses on enjoying the day.

Whether your group spends the afternoon swimming, floating, playing music, or simply soaking up the Texas sunshine, King Kong is designed to keep everyone together and entertained.

Why we love it for your group:

  • Built for large celebrations: With room for up to 24 guests, this is one of the best options on Lake Travis for larger bachelorette parties, birthdays, reunions, and company outings.

  • More room to spread out: The upper deck creates extra space that most pontoons simply don't have, helping the boat feel comfortable even at full capacity.

  • Water-focused fun: The dual slides and floating mats keep guests active and in the lake instead of sitting on the sidelines.

  • BYOB-friendly: Bring your own food and beverages for a fully customized day on the water.

  • Easy group planning: Captain, fuel, sound system, ice, safety equipment, and floating gear are already included, eliminating most of the logistics.

This is the kind of charter that turns a regular lake day into the centerpiece of the entire weekend.
