Why book a captained boat rental in Austin
Every Boat Bros charter is private to your group with a licensed captain on Lake Austin. Skip the stress of driving a rental boat — we handle navigation, anchoring, and safety while you swim, celebrate, or ride the wake.
Austin visitors and locals choose Lake Austin for calm water, limestone bluffs, and easy access from downtown. Our fleet includes spacious pontoons for parties and families, a dedicated wake boat for watersports, and evening sunset cruises when you want a shorter, scenic trip.
Pricing is transparent online with captain included. Bring your own food and drinks (no glass), connect your playlist to our sound systems, and let your captain take you to the best coves and swim spots for the day.

Justin Cox · a month ago
“Thomas was awesome! While we were floating he waited on us hand and foot getting us drinks and snacks from our cooler. He took us through Little Venice of Lake Austin and it was beautiful. He even rescued my hat when it fell into the water.”
