Awesome experience, Matthew and his crew made everything possible. We even showed up late and he was generous enough to extend out time free of charge, Shows what a great guy he is and how much he cares about his customers. Will definitely come back for our next boat rental. We highly recommend them.

Had a great time on the water! Everything was very easy, easy to learn how to drive the pontoon, had life jackets for us, they made it super convenient!
- ErikaErika
I would give more than a 5 star review if possible. All the staff was amazing. The boat was clean, beautiful and better than expected. We had such a great time and will definitely be back! Thank you guys and we especially loved Bruce.
- ROBROB
Fabulous day on the boat. the team made the experience easy. the boat operated great. My only surprise is that the marina charges $20 a car for parking. I would have done a bit more car pooling had i known that. definitely not a deal breaker and i will be back.

This is a nice pontoon boat, and it's in good
condition. There were 6 of us, and we had
plenty of room. We were given instructions
on how to operate the boat safely and
directions to the best swim areas. We really
enjoyed swimming and boating on Lake
Travis. We would rent from Matthew again. - DarlaDarla

It would have been nice to know about the damage to the pedestrian ramp ahead of our arrival. We had no knowledge that we would have to call to be picked up and be shuttled to our boat slip. We were shorted on our boat time because of this. There was chaos at the pick up area and this was unfortunate.

junaid offered excellent service. he offered us tips and tricks about the night life in austin and he offered additional tips about obtaining a boating license.

- JayJay
First time on Lake Travis with the family and we had an absolute blast! The attendant at the dock was helpful and nice, and the whole team was a pleasure to talk to. The boat itself, despite some tiny spider webs they quickly wiped off, was well maintained and performed like a beauty. Thanks for the awesome experience!

- AustinAustin
We had SUCH a great time with our pontoon. My family said this was their favorite part of our trip to the Hill Country. It was an easy, straight-forward process. The guys who helped us were super chill. Only ting that was a tiny surprise for us was that we had to pay the Texas sales tax. Wasn't a ton, no biggie, just didn't know (thought it was entirely prepaid). No fault of the boat rental company though. We would do it again!
- KellyKelly★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Feb. 25th

I was help by Carter and his crew at the marina. No issues with check in. Our rental for no captain, they explained everything about how to operate the boat / safety items and then asked if I had any questions. No issues with the boat.

Everyone was so accommodating and friendly! They go above and beyond to make sure your day is going to be the best! They even aired up a tube for us when our air pump went out. We had a problem with the stereo not working. Nearly all the employees came out to try to fix the problem. Check in and return was seamless. We had a heavy I’ve chest and one of the guys loaded it for us. With all the options for boat rental on Lake Travis, we’d definitely recommend them and will be coming back for more!!

- JamesJames★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4/5 stars (4/5)Aug. 30th
boat did not have a lot of speed therefore was not able to see all that we wanted to see in 6 hours. as far as use and abuse the boat showed sins of wear but not trashed, had no problems out on the water and not having to fuel it up was a plus. guys at the dock were great and would definitely rent it again if i had to, plan on bringing my boat from California shortly.
Jim De Gaine - JeanineJeanine

Matthew the owner I believe and I communicated well but the person who we returned the Pontoon once we were done was totally unprofessional and had temper issue.
He push the driver from has captain chair and shouted at him while we were moving inn to park the boat at super slow approaching to the dock... He owes the captain an apology. - SavannahSavannah

Boat worked out great. Easy to use and instructions provided were fantastic. Would use again!
- MikeMike
The staff at the dock were great. They got me through sign in & general instructions in a friendly & efficient manner. When I had problems onboard, they were available by phone for troubleshooting.
However, I take the music part of a boat trip very seriously, & the stereo speakers on the boat did not function properly. Only 2 out of 4 speakers were working when we left the dock, & after getting the anchor out of the seat, they all stopped working.
Be aware, marina parking is $15 per car! - RodyRody
Great time as always! See you in a couple of months

Friendly staff, boat was clean. I’d suggest getting better anchors. Ours had zip ties to make sure the chain was in line with the anchor to allow it to hook on the bottom better but wind came and put the boat sideways and popped the zipties and pulled the anchor. Had to hurry everyone in the boat to reposition and try again. Otherwise, great trip.

- CarlosCarlos★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5/5 stars (5/5)Jul. 14th
The crew and service at the marina are satisfactory; however, it is evident that there is room for improvement in the facility. A parking fee of $20 per car is required, and access to the boats is difficult due to rough terrain. This may present a challenge for seniors and individuals with disabilities, as navigating wheelchairs through the rocky pathways is impossible.
