KAW is awesome! I used them twice this year for two bachelorette trips to Lake Travis and the trips were absolutely perfect! Everyone on board for both trips could not have raved about the experience more! John G was our driver for the first trip and he was so great we requested him for the second trip as well. Everything from booking, pickup, floating on the lake, to payment was a great experience and had no challenges at all. I will continue to book lake trips through KAW!

We have used Keep Austin Wet multiple times over the years and they never disappoint. I had a group of 14 year old boys and they loved the 4 hours they spent with John. They went tubing and wake surfing. We will be using them again. Thank you!

Great experience tubing and water skiing in Lake Travis. Was super easy to coordinate and find Charlie. Would definitely use them again.

I would give 100 stars if I could! Such a great experience from booking, to the cleanliness of the boat, to the captain. My group drove out of our way to use KAW solely because of the reviews and how helpful the owner was and how pleasant every interaction was when we called. I wouldn’t change a thing and will 100% be a repeat customer if I find myself in Austin again!

Great experience renting the Bowrider with Captain Gage on a Friday afternoon. Beautiful, well cared for and newer boat made the experience that much better. We were very impressed with the sound system as well. Thank you!

You know, I’ve never considered myself much of a “let’s get on the water and drink” kind of guy, but I’d be lying if I said the opportunity to do it has come up very often. However, being that we were coming to Austin for my buddy’s bachelor party, and knowing how hot the weather was going to be, doing exactly that seemed like the perfect, lazy activity for us to try to stay cool. And I have to say, now that I’ve done it, getting out on the water and just drinking is pretty damn fun!

Now, since one of the other groomsmen was the one who booked our reservation with Keep Austin Wet, I can’t say anything about what the process entailed or how that all went. What I can say though is that, purely as a guest along for the ride (quite literally), our experience was terrific! While it was a little confusing trying to figure out which boat was ours (it’s one large launch/dock and the boats don’t have much in the way of signage/branding), we were quickly on our way after getting a quick rundown on the boat and safety measures from our captain, Chase.

A brief ride down the river later (past a ton of gorgeous looking mansions, I might add) and we found ourselves pulling into the 360 Cove, where dozens of other boats had also posted up. While we weren’t able to link up to some of the livelier boats (we were between two other bachelor parties…womp womp), we were actually fine with being on the end of a quieter line where we could do our own thing, lounging on the water and throwing back beers. Even the intermittent rain that randomly showed up every now and then couldn’t put a damper on our afternoon!

Since we had to get back to our Airbnb for dinner, we had to cut our time on the boat a bit short, but Chase did a great job of maneuvering us out of the line/cove and getting us back to the dock on schedule. What’s more, he was super friendly and just a good dude to talk to. Beyond that, not sure what else there is to say, but probably not much more needs to be said either. Friendly captain, super easy process to book a reservation (from what I hear, at least), and just an awesome time all around! Would definitely recommend these guys!

Keep Austin Wet was an amazing time! The owner on the phone was great and very clear on the rules and expectations. Our driver Charlie was super friendly and helpful and knew the lake well. We all had An amazing time! Thank you keep Austin wet!

We rented a pontoon boat last minute on Labor Day, and Santos was so easy to work with that we were on a boat at 10am on Labor Day. Capt. Shane drove us around Lake Austin, and he was such a delight. He was so knowledgeable about the area, serving pretty much as an Austin tour guide, as well. The booking and payment process was so easy; great communication and good prices. If you need a boat, book with KAW!

We had so much fun! We booked a pontoon with KAW for a bachelorette party and it was definitely the best decision to book with this company. Captain Squirrel was awesome and fun. We got to go to two diffefent coves and enjoyed the scenery. I will definitely book again with them!

I rented through Keep Austin Wet for my friends bachelorette party. I cannot recommend this place enough. Our driver was so friendly and made our experience so much fun. When I come back to ATX I will definitely be renting from them again.

Really liked using this boat company. Their prices were fair and it came with a lot of amenities without the hidden costs. I’ve rented from others before an it’s $X much more for a cooler, lily pad, etc. Keep Austin Wet pricing included all of this and gas.

Our captain was super friendly! The process from pick up to going to the cove to being dropped off was seamless. I would definitely use their services again.

Our boat day was incredible! Ryan was the best captain, he drove us around the lake when we wanted to explore, and he even tossed us drinks when we were floating on the lily pad 🙂 Everything was very organized, and the communication was on point. I can’t wait to utilize them again!

Captain Ryan was awesome! Very responsible, safe and accommodating. Would do it again in a heart beat.

This is the 8th year of renting boats for a group of friends and second year renting from Keep Austin Wet and they didn’t disappoint. Chase was our Captain and is definitely an asset to your company. He made sure we had everything we need as well as grab more booze while in the water! We rented last year with this company and our pontoon was filled with trash from the previous party however this year everything was in top shape and clean! Make sure to ask for Chase when your book your rental!!

Had a great experience going through Keep Austin Wet. Our captain was Hampton, and he easily explained how the day would go and took care of our group of 10.

Just some word of advice, if you plan to hang out in the party cove–get the extra 4th hour. Minimum is 3 hour rental for most of these boat rentals. On a hot summer day you don’t want to leave and it’s a 20min ride back so you really only spend 2 hours in the cove. My group wanted to extend but sadly there as another booking after us–short and sweet.

Parking is a breeze and cheap, $5. There is a nearby grocery store–Randall to pick up ice and beer to stock the ice chest they provide.

Would def go back again.

Our bachelorette party had the best time! Totally would recommend to anyone trying to plan a party in Austin or just trying to have a fun lake day!

Captain Ryan!

We were in Austin for a bachelorette party with 7 girls. We had an AMAZING day on the lake thanks to Ryan!

He was extremely helpful getting everything loaded on the boat. A few people in our group got seasick so he suggested they get on at the last minute.

We cruised around for awhile, he pointed out the sights. He was a great driver and we felt very safe. He stopped in a good spot for us to go swimming, which was a lot of fun.

When we started turning the music up and wanting to party more he anticipated our needs and drove us to the party cove! He was friendly and communicative when it was time to go.

Definitely rent from here! Such a fun way to spend the day.
