Corbin and his team were so great to work with! Communicated well throughout the whole planning process and very responsive. The boat was very clean and had one large cooler on each boat for us to use. My friends and I will forever use Big Tex Boat Rentals!

Big Tex boat rentals was awesome! Corbin helped us out, he was very professional and made sure we had everything we needed for a great day on the water! Will definitely be a returning customer this summer.

Big Tex Boat Rental was an awesome experience for our bachelor party weekend. We rented a pontoon for a group of 6 guys and it was one of the highlights of our trip. We went to Lake Travis since they recommended Party Cove and there were tons of other parties when we were there on a Friday afternoon. Corbin was super helpful in coordinating everything and answering any questions we had. Captain Joe was professional, but also a genuinely great guy to have for our group. He made sure we had a good time and honestly we were sad to say goodbye when he got back to the dock. Definitely recommend Big Tex Boat Rentals for any occasion down in Austin!

Could not have been a better experience. This boat has everything! It has plenty of room, it is very clean, has speakers, cooler, floats for the water etc. Corbin knows his way around the lake and how to have a good time. Super nice to have someone that can keep us safe yet keep us having fun. If you are a group you have to book with them! If I come back to Austin, Corbin and Big Tex boat rentals is the first people im calling. Great day on the water =)

I planned a bachelor party and a friend who who did Big Tex recommended this excusion. Very simple booking process online. FAQ provided information and an easy communication method. The company said how to get to the park and where to walk to board the pontoon. Captain Corbin was very professional and even had a dog onboard. The pontoon was clean, lily pads, sound blue tooth speaker, and a large cooler filled with ice. We tied up with several pontoons in Devil’s Cove. It was a phenomenal day on the lake! 10/10

If you are looking for a captained boat rental in Austin, look no further. Corbin is fantastic!

From initial research through the booking process his level of communication was outstanding. Prior to our rental day, he answered all our questions, gave great detailed instructions and maintained communication right up to us boarding the boat.

The boat was huge and spotless. Had a large cooler (with ice) for our food and drinks. He asked us how we wanted to spend the day on the lake and then proceeded to do exactly what we asked.

After being out on the lake and seeing what other companies have to offer he by far had the nicest boat on the water.

Several of us have been on boats before and we all felt his level of experience and professionalism was superb. Corbin was very accommodating and committed to ensuring our group had a memorable experience.

We had an awesome time with Corbin on Lake Austin. He was more than accommodating and made sure we were all safe and having fun. It was easy to book and very affordable leaving from the 360 bridge. We will definitely be using Big Tex Boat Rentals again and recommend them to anyone looking for a nice relaxing day on Lake Austin.

We went on a trip with Corbin and his boat and our group had a lot of fun. You could tell it was a new boat and was super clean. Plenty of space for our group of ten and will 100% be using him again!

Big Tex Boat Rentals literally went the extra mile to make sure we were able to get on the water! With the current Covid issue most parks and boat ramps are closed or closing and we were worried. Big Tex kept us informed and managed to make sure we were able to get on the water. The boat was very nice, clean and had plenty of room for our group of 10. The sound system was awesome and we were able to use our playlist . The boat we were on had a huge swim platform and a Lily Pad with plenty of floats. The Captain really took care of everything while we relaxed, floated and listen to music. He did a great job of making sure our empty’s were promptly disposed of and replaced! We all had a great time and we will definitely use Big Tex again!!!

Awesome boat rental company! Will definitely be using again. So polite and we had so much fun thanks to them. They go above and beyond to make sure you have a great time!

If you’re trying to decide if you should rent a boat for the day or get a boat chartered, make the wise decision. Sit back and relax and let the pros take care of all the work. I grew up on Lake Travis and started captaining a 17ft Boston whaler at age 13, so I’m used to being the captain. So to not have to be in charge… boy was it nice. Our captain Corbin, was calm, cool and collected, even as our party got rowdy into the afternoon. Most importantly, he kept us safe and was always in control. Definitely booking again in the future!!
Justin H., 2 years ago
Great rental company with VERY fair prices compared to other services on the lake. Highly recommend Captain Corbin for your day on the lake with family and/or friends. He took great pictures without us even requesting and had them in our inbox by the next day. Could not have asked for a better experience.
Give these guys a call!
Kyle R., 2 years ago
Absolutely loved big Tex rentals! Had a great time out there on the lake. Our captain was awesome and he really knew all the great spots on the lake. He was prepared with a cooler, ice, a Lilly pad, and good vibes. Very happy with the price too so if you need a good time on the lakes here in Austin go through big Tex rentals!
Joe K., 2 years ago
Used these guys for a boat rental in the middle of July. Had a weekend planned to visit Austin with a big group of friends, but our trip was kind of last minute.
We were recommend to Big Tex by some friends and they did not disappoint.

Even though we were last minute, they were grateful to have us and they were very professional. The boats were very clean and the crew was personable and friendly. Because we waited to book a rental, they had a second charter later in the day and made sure they were punctual and on time so that they could make it to there second rental. I’d highly recommend this crew!

We had a great time with Captain Corbin on Lake Travis, not only were their prices VERY fair, he accommodated to us all weekend long and made sure we were happy and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable time on the water. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again, and would for sure recommend him to anyone! Five stars. Thank you for a great weekend!!
P.S.- Turns out he’s not a half bad photographer as well!

Big Tex Boat Rentals is awesome! We happened to call them to book a trip last minute and they were very accommodating. We rented one of their Pontoons and it was very nice! The boat was extremely clean and well maintained. The one we were on had a huge swim platform on the back. The boat captain Corbin was a really nice guy and made us feel right at home. He went out of his way to make sure my family and I had a great experience. We can’t thank them enough and are looking forward to our next rental with this company! Thanks Big Tex!!!
