Michael was amazing - we had the best boating day ever! I highly recommend Good Vibes, we will definitely be using them for all our future boat rentals.
- ElisaElisa★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 10th
We had the absolute best time! Donny was a wonderful driver and coach. We ranged from beginner to intermediate board surfers, but no wake surfing. Donny showed us how to surf and how to drive the boat and gave us a fantastic tour of Lake Austin. I would absolutely not do this without a captain although before Donny, we might have just rented the boat. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much for a fantastic time!

Such a wonderful time out on the lake with Michael! We had small children on the boat and Michael was so accommodating to them. We cruised around, looked at all the homes (which Michael was able to share lots of history about the homes with us), and got swimming time in. Such a great experience!

Michael (Malibu Mike) was great, and the boat was great. If you're looking for a pro wakeboard/surfboard experience, you'll be pleased. If you're just learning or have kids who are just learning, Michael will help them at their level. He helped my 15 year old son (who had never tried to surfboard) get up on the surfboard on his second attempt. Awesome sound system on the boat and plenty of boards, equipment, etc.

We had THE best experience with our captain, Destin. He was fun, knowledgeable, and safe. The kids did not want the fun to end. The boat was spacious and had everything we needed. 100% recommend and we will be using them again next time we are out on the lake.

We had an amazing day on the lake with Good Vibes Boat Rental! The guys were incredibly friendly. They took the time to teach our kids how to wake surf and always made sure we were all having the best time. They made us feel like we were spending the day on a friend’s boat and not just a rental. We would absolutely spend the day on the lake with Good Vibes Boats again!

Super experience! We had so much fun! The driver was super helpful & made the day a blast for all of us. Can’t wait to book this boat again!
- ChrisChris★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jun. 23rd
Mike was awesome! So glad that we got him as our captain. He was super helpful with some of us that were new to wakeboarding, and he was friendly/easy to get along with. Great music choices as well. The boat was also a blast. Highly recommend.

Donny and Gabe were awesome! We had a fantastic time and will definitely book with them again. Great boat, great sound system, great equipment, great crew. We loved it!
- laurellaurel★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 30th
Michael and Sean were amazing! We had three fun filled days of wake surfing and wake boarding. Michael was great instructor for the novice wake surfers in our group and Sean a pro with those trying to learn tricks. For sure will use again!!! Michael's fleet of boats are awesome and have room for everyone. A day on the lake is way better with a captained boat with Michael or Sean. Thank you guys!!
- CourtneyCourtney★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jun. 17th
Had a great time out on Lake Austin with our captain, Sean! Michael was very communicative/easy to work with leading up to our boat day. The boat itself is super sick, pickup at the 360 bridge was easy, overall we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Will definitely book with them again in the future.
- StephanieStephanie★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 16th
Captain Donny & the boat was amazing! Perfect for my group and had an incredible 4 hours on Lake Austin.
- WillWill★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 03rd

Great time on Lake Austin! Very easy communicating
- AndrewAndrew★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 11th
Our bachelor party group of 9 had the best time with Michael. He's an experienced captain that puts his customer's experience (and safety) first. Can't wait to book again with you Michael! Thanks for a great trip
- LauraLaura
The best time!!!! Michael had awesome music playing and kept the energy and fun going! He was super knowledgeable about the lake and shared fun facts! Thank you, Michael, for making our boat day so memorable for my visiting friends!

Enjoyed our time on Lake Austin with the awesome services from Good Vibes Boat Rental. The captain, Justin, was friendly and very accommodating to our requests. He helped make our Bachelor Party getaway a great experience to remember. Very knowledgeable with the environment and atmosphere of the lake, and a great instructor for newbies learning the different watersport options. Definitely recommend their services, and will be contacting them in the future for more great adventures!

We had a great time on Michael’s boat. Our captain Sean was a great host. He showed us around the lake and the kids loved tubing and wake surfing. Highly recommended.
- DougDoug★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 15th
Michael the owner was our captain for a 4 hr charter on Lake Austin. Wakeboarding and surfing on their 25’ Malibu LSV. Excellent driver. Very knowledgeable about the lake. Boat well maintained. Had good quality equipment for us and gave great tips for riding. Even tried his foil. That thing is crazy! Great day!

Micheal was the freaking man and I could not recommend his company enough. He’s a great dude that is super enthusiastic about getting people out on the water. His boat is sick but more importantly he is an epic captain!
- PeytonPeyton★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Apr. 13th
Tyler was a great boat captain! He was very engaging and was good with pulling everyone on the wakeboard. Definitely recommend this group.

Justin was awesome! He was trustworthy, responsible, on time and kind! This was important to us as we were a group of girls. The boat is in pristine condition and this was our favorite part of the bachelorette party! Thanks Michael and Justin for making the booking easy and showing us a great time at Lake Austin!
- KatieKatie
Such a fun experience!
- TracyTracy
Our charter was just a lovely experience. The captain arrived exactly when he said he would pick us up, he was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the lake. I will be booking future charters with Good Vibes Boat Rental.
- HeatherHeather★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)May. 27th
Michael was an awesome captain - so friendly and easy going. The boat was super nice, clean, and comfortable too. We had 9 plus the captain and had plenty of space for all of us, our gear, and our drinks/snacks! My husband wanted to wakeboard and Michael is a great driver for that too! The communication was also great. We would love to rent with Michael again!

- JohnJohn★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 17th
Michael really made our day on the water perfect! He was a great captain, and a great driver while skiing/wakeboarding. He was really easy to work with, and really maxed out our time on the water. If you ever need a charter captain on lake Austin or lake Travis, look no further than Michael and the team at Good Vibes Boat Rental.
- AnthonyAnthony★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Aug. 19th
Amazing boating experience. Brendon was a fantastic captain and made our day on the lake a great time. Will rent again. 10/10

Absolutely perfect day!
- EvanEvan★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jun. 07th
Best boating experience we've had on Lake Austin. Destin, our guide, was a great wakesurfing coach for beginner guests who were with us and handled the boat better than any other captain we've had. It was super easy to book with Michael, as well. We'll be coming back!

Michael & Justin at Nauti Charters are AMAZING!!!!! We had an absolutely awesome time. Can not wait to do it again.

Great time, captain was a blast.
- CarrieCarrie★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jun. 23rd
Great day on the lake with Sean as our captain! Sean was an excellent surf coach and successfully got everyone (11yo -51yo) up on the surf. He was also very patient with our crew and bailed us out when we forgot cash to get into the park. Then, he dove into the water at the dock to hunt for a phone we could not find. And, he found it! Many a captain might have been frustrated but Sean rolled with it and made sure we had a great time. Will definitely boat with them again!
- NicolasNicolas★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Sep. 24th
Everything was great! The captain was super cool. We wake surfed the whole time and received great advice from the captain. Highly recommend!

- GregGreg★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jun. 04th
Admittedly, coming from a background in world-class hospitality, I have a very high standard and expectation of service. Michael exceeded that expectation by a wide margin. We had an absolute blast. If you’re wondering if a rental with Michael is worth the slight premium, the answer is a resounding “yes”. Couldn’t have asked for a better time or a more accommodating captain.
- SoniaSonia★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)May. 10th
The vessel was pristine and powerful! The entire experience was made greater by our captain, Destin! He made a semi-rainy day an adventure! He will always be our go-to when in the area!

Boat was perfect for our size group. Captain Austin was great and made our time out on the lake super enjoyable! Got to cruise around and enjoy the Austin sunset. He also dropped us off at ski shores to end the perfect day!
- JOSEPHJOSEPH★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Sep. 03rd
Overall hands down a great/positive experience because Michael was a great host! He was an awesome dude who can hold a convo with anyone and basically made sure we had a good time.
The boat was super chill and was able to fit 14 people. Water surfing was pretty hard to learn but Michael tried to teach us the best of his abilities.Overall, if you’re looking for a really great experience on the lake I suggest booking with Michael!
- MichaelMichael★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)May. 21st
10 out of 10 recommend Michael for any boating adventure that you may have! Our captain was the best captain ever and beyond helpful with all of our requests. Thank you so much for the best day and helping us out in a pinch.
- ErinErin
Our captain was Austin who was fantastic! He was very easy to get in touch with and personable. There was a large cooler with ice provided and giant lily pad float. We had a great time on the lake and enjoyed getting to relax on Lake Austin. Highly recommend!

- JefferyJeffery★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 15th
Mike and his co-captain Donald were amazing! His communication was fantastic. The boat itself was perfect, the speakers were impressive too. He took us on a nice cruise and we ended up at party cove. He even made last minute accommodations to add some friends for us. Overall, 10 out of 10. If we come back to Texas, I would rent again from Mike. If you are in Texas, you should definitely rent from Mike.

I just had the most epic day out on the water with Captain Michael and his boat rental. Everything was spot on, just like he promised. The boat was in primo condition and had all the goodies we needed for an awesome time.
Captain Michael is one chill dude and super patient. He took his time teaching everyone how to wakeboard, and by the end of the day, even the newbies were shredding it up. He could even teach an Aggie! Hook 'em!
