Our group of 11 fit perfectly on the boat! Super spacious and a fantastic outing. Someone even drove another boat out to deliver the lily pad we forgot. The captain was super nice and helpful too. Highly recommend!
- LouisLouis
Incorrect information in the booking details, captain almost crashed into a few boats and didn’t speak English, phone number provided went straight to voicemail. Needed help from another captain to bail us out to tie us up. Not what we were expecting in any regard.

We (bachelorette party) had a great time. Ricardo was our Captain and very nice! We added the tube add on which was super fun especially for our 4 hour time slot. Bring ice, food, and drinks!

What a FUN experience
It’s my first time using the service and it was very straightforward the booking process and communication
I booked the boat for 12 people to celebrate my brother’s birthday and we all have the best time!
Big shoutout to our Capitán ARTURO! He was the best!!!
My family truly had a great time and we are already planning the next adventure ☺️ - SandySandy
Our Captain Arturo was great.. The anchor was not on the boat so we were only able to dock near the rocks. This boat was perfect for 12 of us.. Overall great time with the family!

Captin didn't escort us we stayed 2 hours at one spot because captin said its too dangerous to out move around because there was too much traffic there was no handicap access the owner said its only 200 feet to the dock however it was 1000 feet on hill I m a handicap person had lots of trouble getting to doc then there was no captin to recive us
So I will never take the boat from lake travis - SyrenahSyrenah

This was an amazing experience! We had Ricardo as our captain, and he was so kind and helpful. We even added an extra 30 minutes to our time, and we are so glad we did. The boat was clean, nice, and truly the perfect way to spend a Saturday in the sun! I recommend Mr. Boatsetter! He was SO easy to communicate with and very kind! 15/10 experience!

Our captain Ricardo was awesome. Took us to nice calm area of the lake without lots of traffic for people to swim. Ensured safety at all times. Was on time and at the docks early. Large cooler on board for drinks. Everyone had a great time. Boat was clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future. 👍🙏

They were very accommodating. With a large crowd and logistical mishaps, they fixed it quickly. Made sure we had the best experience for my daughter’s 21st.

Worst experience ever. First, they did not found an anchor for our pontoon. In our way to devil’s cove another boat stop us and gave us an anchor. We arrive to devil’s cove and everything good. Captain park the boat near the lake shore. We asked him to move we wanted to be near the other boats to party. He moved us 4 times because the anchor was to short to be able to anchor us in the middle of devil’s cove. So we had to stay in the shore with really dirty water and near the rocks.

Initially it wasn’t clear where to meet our boat captain. he was a few minutes late. Once he arrived, he still had another group on board, so we didn’t leave until about 15 minutes past our start time. When we finally got on the boat, it wasn’t cleaned from the previous group (the seats were wet, and there was guacamole smeared on the table). When I asked if he had something to wipe it down, he used his shirt. The captain ensured that we made up for the lost time and the rest of the trip wasgood

Ricardo was awesome. He pulled the group on a towable tube and stopped at a safe place to swim per our request. Would certainly book again.

We had such an awesome time celebrating the 4th of July. Arturo was an awesome captain and he vibed with us well! He took us to a quiet relaxing part of the lake which was impressive to me considering it was July 4th. We were able to swim around and lay out without heavy traffic and it was all around a great time. I highly recommend without hesitation.

Captain had limited English, but was very nice and accommodating for weather conditions. Boat was clean, there was a large cooler, and a Lily Pad is included. Captain cleaned up trash for us after. Would highly recommend!
There is a $20 parking fee for each car at this Marina.
