What you'll do:

Spend four hours cruising the waters of Lake Travis aboard a private captained pontoon, where the music is yours, the drinks are cold, and the itinerary revolves entirely around your group.

• Private pontoon charter: Your group gets exclusive use of the boat, creating a private experience from departure to return.

• Licensed captain included: A USCG-licensed captain handles navigation, docking, and safety so everyone in your group can relax and enjoy the day.

• Swim and float stops: Anchor in popular coves, jump in the water, lounge on lily pads, or simply soak up the sun from the deck.

• Bluetooth sound system: Connect your playlist and keep the energy exactly where your group wants it throughout the charter.

• Fully equipped setup: Every boat includes a cooler stocked with ice, life jackets, shade coverage, and everything needed for a comfortable day on the lake.

With boats sized for 12 to 13 guests, this charter strikes the perfect balance between spacious and social, giving everyone room to relax without feeling disconnected from the group.

Why we love it for your bachelorette or group celebration:

• Private party atmosphere: The entire boat is reserved for your crew, creating a more personal experience than larger shared charters.

• Built for lake days: Swim, float, dance, take photos, or simply cruise Lake Travis while the captain handles the details.

• BYOB flexibility: Bring your favorite drinks and snacks on board, making it easy to customize the experience and manage your budget.

• Photo-worthy boats: From the bright pink Pinkie to the tropical-themed Lemon Drop, each boat adds personality to your day on the water.

• Easy planning: Fuel, captain services, coolers, ice, safety equipment, and floating mats are already included.

Whether you're celebrating a bride-to-be, a birthday, or simply gathering friends for a weekend on Lake Travis, this is one of the easiest ways to get everyone together on the water.
