My family and I booked a two hour boat tour on July 3rd with Austin Boat Rentals. Christian Maurer was our captain. He was awesome. He knew exactly where to go and made great recommendations for our day out. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and took very good care of us. We will definitely request him for our next outing later this year.

Derek was our boat rental captain today (7/5/26) on a double decker pontoon boat. He was very professional and remembered everyone’s names including the 5 kids! It was a 4 hour trip and we had a great time jumping off the top deck, sliding down the slide, hanging out on the lily pad and going for a fun boat ride. The boat was well stocked with drinks for all! Derek even let one of the kids use his extra hat when they forgot theirs! Definitely ask for Derek!

Boat Rental Questions?

Our main pickup location on Lake Austin is at the Walsh Boat Landing just 8 minutes from downtown Austin. 

We include everything in our boat rentals! This includes: 12' Lay on floating mat, floating pong table with cups and balls, XL cooler, fuel and a captain. Water Bottles and Ice can be added for a fee. 

Almost all of our groups get a nice cruise up the lake and head over to the party cove. This is where all the action is. We will tie up with other boats, layout our floating mats, pong tables and jam out to some tunes!  A tour of Little Venice is a Lake Austin favorite.

Lake Austin is rated the overall best Lake. Lake Austin is definitely the closest, cleanest and safest Lake out of the two. While both Lakes boast party coves, Lake Travis is home of Devils Cove which is the infamous party barge cove.
