Your event deserves more than just a space; it deserves an experience. A private boat tour creates a dynamic, engaging atmosphere that simply can’t be replicated anywhere else.
Lake Travis has been the go-to spot for celebrations ever since it was formed.

That investment is what created the incredible boating culture that hosts everything from wild bachelorette parties to sweet family reunions, making the lake a top destination in Central Texas. You can learn more about the lake's fascinating history and impact.
Even a simple family get-together becomes an adventure on one of our safe, fun pontoon boats. No matter who you're celebrating with, we have the perfect boat to make your day truly special. Ready to plan the perfect outing? Book your boat now and let’s make it happen!
Safety First So You Can Have Fun
Let's talk about the serious stuff for a second, so you can get back to the fun. Your peace of mind on the water is our absolute number one priority. We're obsessed with it. After all, you can't truly kick back and have a blast unless you know, without a doubt, that you're in safe hands.
That's why every single one of our charters comes with a certified, seasoned captain at the helm. These pros aren't just steering the boat; they're masters of Lake Travis. They know its coves, its currents, and its secrets. They handle all the tricky parts like navigating and docking, leaving you free to pop the champagne and crank up the tunes.
Our Promise: A Totally Worry-Free Day On The Lake
We've thought of everything so you don't have to. From the moment you step aboard to the moment you step off, we've got your back.
- USCG-Approved Life Jackets: We have top-of-the-line, USCG-approved life jackets for every single person. No exceptions. It's all about being prepared.
- Quick Safety Briefing: Before we cast off, your captain will run through a quick and easy safety briefing. It’s a super important step to make sure everyone knows the lay of the land (or, well, the boat!).
- No Overcrowding, Ever: We are sticklers for the rules when it comes to boat capacity. This means you’ll always have plenty of room to dance, mingle, and relax without feeling crammed in.
It's easy to forget just how massive Lake Travis is. It stretches over 60 miles long and gets as deep as 210 feet in some spots! Its sheer scale is exactly why having a professional in charge is a game-changer. Our captains don't just wing it; they use detailed route plans and follow strict protocols to make sure your day is as safe as it is awesome.
We don’t think of safety as a list of rules that get in the way of a good time. We see it as the foundation for it. When you can trust us with the serious stuff, you're free to let loose and make incredible memories.
Worried about getting a little wobbly on the water? Our boats are incredibly stable, and our captains are experts at finding the smoothest ride.
