Austin’s Boat Tours, Lake Travis boat tours and rentals is the area’s local expert.

A short drive from downtown Austin to Lake Travis brings you to their evening sunset cruises or weekend outings – trips designed to give you that “on vacation” feeling without the airport hassle.

Just sit back and relax while Master Captains Austin and Angel take you on a trip that you will never forget.

Once you are settled in, they will guide the boat wherever you’d like to go… to Devil’s Cove if that’s your style or possibly under the The Oasis for the perfect view of the setting sun. Relaxation ensues.

Austin’s Boat Tours has been the Official Best of Texas 8 years running!

We built our own private marina called Angels Landing which is exclusive to your parties unlike most charter boat companies that operate out of large public marinas, which can cause a lot of confusion when finding where to go.

When you arrive at our private property, we will help you park, check you in quickly, and then our dockhands can carry all of your stuff down to the boat. We will even drive you down in a UTV or truck if you’d prefer or have mobility issues.

We also have a gazebo bar with beer, wine, and BBQ overlooking the famous Starnes Island. You can even come by water in a personal boat, use a courtesy slip at Angels Landing and hop on a party boat with your friends, then chill at the bar later! Arrive early to your boat time if you prefer to enjoy our privately gated spot of heaven. There are plenty of park benches, a large swing set, and a huge stage that offers different events.

We have a small ship store if you need to buy forgotten items like sunscreen, cheap glasses (don’t bring the ray bans!), and floats that we can air up for you (even if you bring your own!) We do have a free Lily pad on each boat as well. We are a one stop shop for all your lake fun! Ice is available for purchase at check in and there’s already the largest cooler you can get on the boat waiting for you to fill up with all your BYOB anything.

Other services you can add on easily is round trip transportation, food service (our captains will cook anything you bring at no extra charge or we can stock the boat with food for a small fee), bartenders/servers are available to join, and of course the funnest captains on the lake to navigate you anywhere you’d like to go!

With the largest fleet of Double Deckers with slides, BBQ grills, blue tooth stereos, bathrooms, coolers and free Lily pads on Lake Travis, we will be sure if your goal is to tie up with other parties that’s never a problem either. If you have questions not seen on the full website at austinsboattours.com feel free to call or text us anytime at 512-476-2628(BOAT)!

Boat Tours

With friends and family by your side, sit back and soak in the candy-colored sunset from the bow of a luxurious boat where it’s BYOB&B (that’s beer & barbecue, together…Yes!) Bring your favorite beverage and food to grill!

There’s a spiral staircase on the Double Decker to the top floor so you can climb up and have that belly flop contest with your friends you’ve always imagined!

Whether you are looking to have a family-oriented relaxing time or you are looking to party like it’s 1999 with your college buddies, we have you covered.

We specialize in making you feel comfortable no matter what the occasion you have in mind is. Birthday parties, Bachelor parties, Anniversaries, or just lounging on the lake with friends and family are all perfect for this fun excursion.

Our bachelor party boat day on April 22, 2023 was in great hands with Captain Lee! Everything was seamless from start to finish, including our captain helping arrange an Uber Package delivery of one of the bags we left behind! We tied up to other boats, floated around Lake Travis, and partied like there’s no tomorrow! Would highly recommend!

I booked a two hour surprise tour for my boyfriend and we had a great experience for being our first time with Captain Tess! She loves what she does and it shows! She was very kind and friendly. We got to listen to our own playlist via Bluetooth and bring our own ice chest of drinks. The view throughout the entirety of the tour was amazing! The sun kissed weather and customer service couldn’t have been more perfect! We’re definitely planning our next trip back with friends!

Angel was a lifesaver. She went above and beyond and went and got us bottles of water after our tour was done. Incredible service, and the boat and captain were incredible. 5/5 would absolutely use this business again

Highly recommend! Lee and his crew were awesome. Professional, accommodating, and a lot of fun. They made the whole process so easy for our large group. Can’t wait to get back out on the water with them again soon!

My boyfriend and I had a great time with our captain Tom! We booked a two hour public lake cruise on Memorial Day and we had the boat all to ourselves being that no one else booked our time slot. Tom was super personable and informative. You can tell he loves what he does and he shares his love of the water with his passengers. Thank you Tom!

We planned a 15 person bachelor party. Ordered a double decker boat, with food and transportation. The process and coordination from start to finish was amazing. Very organized, easy and their communication was responsive in timely manner with regards to adjustments to the trip, addressing questions etc. Highly recommend Austin’s Boat tours anyone looking for a great day on Lake Travis.

Hands down the absolute best time on Lake Travis. The owners of this place are rockstars and will go out of their way to make sure you have the best time possible. Come on summer time!

we had the best time on the boat!! Got to play our own music, slide off the slide, jump off the deck. Our captains were so accommodating and it was so easy and seamless to go. Could not recommend this more

Had my Bachelor party here in July 2021. What an unforgettable trip for me and my 20 best friends. Angel and her team were extremely organized, easy to work with, and over exceeded expectations. She booked our house, picked up our Franklins BBQ, booked out transportation, booked our boat tour, and was the glue! Highly recommend this gem of a house.

We rented a shuttle and double decker with ABT for the 4th. We all had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves. Our bus driver was very nice. We also loved Captain Mark, he was great.

We had an excellent day out with Captain Tom! He was thoughtful to our needs and helped ensure the family had a safe and enjoyable time.

We loved jumping off the sides of the boat and using the slide! We will definitely be back again.

Angel and Steve made our experience at the lake one that my family will will never forget. Angel was such a professional from getting us booked on short notice to making sure that we had everything we needed to make our trip as comfortable as possible. Steve was the ultimate captain he took us out to the best spot, cooked for us, got us back safe, he was AMAZING!! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone that wants a memorable day with family and friends.

We had a wonderful experience last week with Austin Boat Tours. Special shout out to Adam who was our Captain. There were 17 of us with the youngest celebrating her 10th birthday. Adam couldn’t have been more sweet to her and the rest of the gang. Cooking for us and making sure we all had a great time. He was professional and kind. We hit some bad weather coming back in and he handled the situation with total control and we all had complete confidence in him. We will use Austin boat tours next time we are in Austin. Thank you for a great day in the lake!

I planned an outing with Austin’s Boat Tours for myself and 4 friends. The owner Angel was so easy to work with and very accommodating. We booked a party bus to take us to and from the lake. When all the party buses ended up getting taken by prom-goers just days before our trip (totally out of her control), leaving us without one for our trip back to Austin, Angel went out and bought a 9 passenger limo to make sure we were taken care of. Seriously! Who does that?!?!

Our bus arrived at our condo about 20 minutes early and the driver Ken was terrific, allowing us to stop along the way to pick up some alcohol which was all we really needed as Angel provided everything else. Upon arriving at the marina, we were greeted by Jessica who made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone working at the marina was super nice and very accommodating. Our captain Andrew couldn’t have been nicer or more chill and once we were out and anchored in the cove, he cooked all our food. And our bartenders were awesome. They made sure we had fun and were always attentive. Hot off the grill burgers and dogs, cold beer, our music blasting, the day was a blast and couldn’t have been any better except for one thing: it came to an end! 4 hours went by way too fast!

I planned an outing through Austin Boat Tours for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday…and it was definitely the highlight of our trip. We got the party bus they offer to pick us up and bring us back. It was so stress free trying to get to the lake and back, and no one had to be DD. The bus on the way there was spacious and we all had a blast playing our music, drinking, and just hanging out. The bus on the way back was similar to a coach bus, with separated seats. It was definitely nice, but we under the assumption it was going to a party bus on the way there AND back, so it was a little disappointing. The ride to lake Austin was breathtaking…Austin has some beautiful natural scenery on the way.

Once we arrived, it did take a bit for us to actually get on the boat and onto the lake, however they made sure to give us our full 4 hours. Our captain, Santos was awesome! He cooked up our dinner for us, joined our boats to another bachelorette party and another 30th birthday party and we were all hopping around and enjoying each other’s company. We also ran out of alcohol towards the end of the 4 hours, and he even made a pit stop for us to pick up more alcohol. It was such a blast and I would definitely do this again if I am every in Austin!!!

What can I say that everyone else hasn’t? This was the highlight of the bachelorette party weekend. The service of being picked up at our hotel and driven to Lake Travis (about 40 minutes from downtown) made it so easy. Our group was a bit wild and very loud, but the captain and bus driver ensured we were safe. We all left with the feeling that it was the most fun we’d had since college.

My only complaint is that I did not like being taken to dock up with other boats. We weren’t asked, but rather just told that was how it goes. I honestly don’t know if this was a choice given to the coordinator of our group, but if not, it definitely should be something to ask when taking reservations. We were a boat of females flanked by two boats full of dudes and it was just…not my ideal situation.

We booked the boat tour for a bachelorette party and it was AMAZING!! We had great service from the beginning to end. We didn’t use their limo service, but instead had another limo drop us off to Lake Travis. After a de-briefing by our captain, we got into a double-deckered boat. The boat was definitely spacious and we had ample time to play games, drink and go into the lake (coming off the slide in the back!). They even have a little toilet on the boat.. it was pretty hilarious. Our captain’s name was Chris and he was really great! Our stereo broke down in the middle and they were able to fix it for us!

When you get to the destination point, there are a bunch of other party boats there and they can link up and have a party – Be sure to put away your valuables. We put away our purses into the cubby’s on the boat, but our Bachelorette’s tank ended up on a neighboring boat somehow…

The slide off the back into the lake is a charming touch! Overall, a really great way to spend the afternoon in Austin.

Tip: bring some games to play, ice, a bottle opener, sunblock, hats, etc.
