Reviews for Austin Boat Rental: Pontoons, Wake Surf and Party Boats

Once in a generation, you meet someone that truly takes your breath away. That person was our driver today, Hunter. Fantastic doesn’t begin to describe what a driver he was. His knowledge of the waves and overall demeanor was five star all the way.

Tess was awesome, boat was beautiful, communication on point. Would definitely rent from ATXBOATRENTALS again. ThankX for be accommodating.

Jacob was a great captain! Very personable and a great driver. We have surfed before so didnt need lessons. Picked us up on time and had zero complaints. Had a super fun time!! Thanks Jacob!

Absolute best experience we had on a boat. Tess was attentive and very observant and made sure we all had a great experience.

Amazing ride , would get again. Brandon was amazing and a lot of fun

We had a wonderful experience in Lake Austin for my birthday! Booking was easy and seamless and Jacob, our captain, was such a pro. Highly recommend!

It was amazing, we had a few friends together from out of town, and she was the perfect captain for our group. It was a fun and relaxed trip. I highly recommend this experience!

Such a fun experience! Our captain was was awesome. He taught us how to wake surf and continued to make sure everyone was staying safe but having fun the whole time. 10/10 would absolutely do it again

We had a great experience on the lake with ATX Boat Rentals. Spencer was a great captain. His taste in music is unmatched as well. We will be back!

We had a great experience with Captain Brandon. We did not have to drive or worry about anything else, he took care of us ever since the beginning of our trip. Would definitely recommend ATX boat rentals and especially Brandon!

Rented a boat for a bachelorette party and we had an absolute blast! Captain Brandon was fun and helpful, adapting to whatever we wanted to do for the day. 10/10 would go again

Our second visit with Jacob - we’ll be back again - really enjoyed our experience.

Brandon is a legend!!! Just got done on a 6 hour boat ride with him! Super professional and safe! 11/10 recommend! Lake Travis was so much fun with him as our captain!

My bachelorette party weekend was even better with this service. They even helped another boat in a pickle. They are great! Choose them.

Brandon gave us an amazing experience for my sister’s Bach!! He anchored us in the party cove area and let us listen to whatever we want and spend all day out on the water. He then took us boating for an hour around the lake and it was a great way to end the day! Thank you, Brandon!

We loved our experience! Our captain, Tess, was the best!! She kept safety first but also was super fun and friendly. We would absolutely rent again and recommend to others.

Captain Brandon and ATX boat rentals were amazing! Super easy to park and access the boat, and very skilled driver. Slide was super fun and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. Would give 10 stars if the platform allowed it!

We came for a bachelorette trip and had a wonderful time!! Our captain Tess was so prepared and made sure we had everything we needed to have a good time! Would definitely recommend!!

Captain Brandon was so fun!! We were out in Austin for a bachelorette trip and he did such an amazing job making sure the bride and the bridal party had so much fun and a great time! He even helped a boat nearby with anchoring and making sure they were good to go before we left. Highly recommend!!!!

Went with ATX this weekend on Lake Travis. Had a fantastic time. Our captain, Cat was a blast. Very patient and very safe. She taught us how to wake board and gave us plenty of time to see much of the lake as well. Highly recommend this company and Captain Cat.

Incredible customer service and a huge highlight of the trip. Tess was an awesome boat captain and the boat itself was pretty awesome. 10/10!

Super wonderful communication and service. Boat is beautiful and captain jack Phillips was a super host. Highly recommend..and 6 stars if we could

ATX Boat rentals was Awesome! The boat was awesome and the captain did a great job and was entertaining. Totally recommend!

Jacobs got a great service going. I’ve used him four times with small and large groups and the experience has always been 5 star.

ATX Boat Rentals showed us a great time. As a group unfamiliar with Lake Travis, we relied on their expertise and they did not disappoint. If you're in the area don't hesitate to give them the business.

If there were a 6-star option, that would be my real rating. Jacob and his team are second to none. I’ve never met a better instructor for beginners. He got my wife up on the second try and she’s never been on a board before. On top of that he’s one of the most laid-back, easygoing guys you’ll meet. Every time I come to Austin, booking with Jacob is a must because it’s always one of the highlights of the trip. We have the best time every single visit. Highly recommend — book it, you won’t regret it.

Jacob is the man. Great day on the lake with my family and he helped teach us how to wake surf!

This was the best!! 10/10 they made sure everyone was having a great day on the water!

Tess is the best! No seriously, such a fun boat captain! I would go again. The company makes the rental process super easy, highly recommend.

I had a great experience renting a boat from ATX boat rentals! The boat was really nice & well kept. Our captain Jacob was very knowledgeable about boating safety and was very successful when he taught my friends & I how to surf behind the boat! The booking process was very easy & the whole experience was great! I will definitely be renting from them again! If I could give 6 stars I would!

Tess was awesome! Great captain and even better to have on the boat with us! Kept the vibe going the whole time no matter how weird some of these cats on our boat were! 10/10 recommend!

Tess was the BEST! Couldn’t recommend ATX Boat Rentals or Tess more. We used them for a bachelorette party & it was a blast. She was so accommodating, fun, & chill! Adore her and will use her again.

Best boats on Lake Travis! We had an amazing time out on the water, Jacob was an amazing Captain, and helped everyone get up on a board! The boats are clean and brand new. Sound system was bumpin.

If you’re renting a boat in Austin, stop looking and book with ATX Boat Rentals on Lake Travis. Jacob personally captains and leads the tours himself, which makes the entire experience completely stress-free and relaxing. We didn’t have to worry about driving the boat, navigating, or planning routes — he handled everything so we could just enjoy the day. His local knowledge made the experience next level. He mapped out the perfect day on the lake based on exactly what we wanted to do, and then added his own expert recommendations that made it even better. We hit all the best spots and had an unreal time. What really blew us away was that Jacob didn’t just help with the boat day — being a local, he sent us a full Austin game plan for our entire stay. Restaurants, activities, live music, comedy shows — everything. Every recommendation was spot on and genuinely elevated our trip. Can’t say enough good things. If you want an epic Lake Travis day and insider Austin recommendations, Jacob is your guy. 10/10 experience.

Had a great time on the lake! Captain Charlie was awesome and very knowledgeable in instructing the more novice boarders/surfers in our group. And the boat itself was super nice and clean and threw a good wake for use to play around in!

Wonderful time on the water!! Beautiful way to see sunset! Craig was a great tour guide!

We had an amazing experience with ATX Sports! We spent four hours out on a speed boat and had an absolute blast tubing and wake surfing. The boat was in great condition, and our captain was fantastic—helpful, prompt, and gave clear, encouraging instructions that made everyone feel comfortable and confident. It was the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. Highly recommend ATX Sports for anyone looking for a great day out on the water!

Capt Jacob was great! The boat was perfect. We had a blast on the water surfing and then partying back in the cove.

We had such an amazing day with Jacob! Great communication leading up to the day and he a great driver and instructor!!! We all learned great info surfing with him and can’t wait to come back

We had a company outing with ATX Boat Rentals. It was lots of fun and a great experience!

Jacob was a great captain. The boat was perfect and clean. I would highly recommend using atx boat rentals.

Had a great time on the water. Had Jacob as our Captain. He was very personable and took the time and patience to show my friends how to wake surf, which neither had before. They all got up surfing in a minutes thanks to his coaching. Definitely would repeat the experience.
