FLOAT ON IS THE BEST!

5.00What a great day on the lake with the perfect Captain! Jay! So easy to book and definitely a 5 Star experience!! The pontoon boat was perfect, so nice and clean, with waters and ice in a cooler for our crew. The boat has a Bluetooth speaker and Jay was the absolute best! Thanks Float On for a great time!! Can’t wait to be back.
Best Boat Rental Ever!

5.00This was our first experience with a boat rental company. Because of their great communication leading up to the rental we had zero worries or anxiety. A lovely young man named Willough met us at our car and transported all of our bags and coolers down to the boat for us. A quick orientation of all of the boat's workings and safety features had us off the dock and stress free in no time. We are currently looking to schedule our daughter's 13 birthday with Float On next month. Can't wait!
Gio is the best captain!

5.00We reserved a boat for July 4th and even though it was raining we still had a great time. Gio was friendly and entertaining. He even made sure we got a group photo by the bridge before the trip ended.

5.00Jason was a great captain! Friendly and ensured we got to see the best of the lake, relax. Listen to some great music and have the very best time! Jason really went above and beyond.. we had a group of 7 ladies for the Sunset cruise and after drop off, he parked boat and waited for us to get Ubers back and would not leave till we were all safely picked up, TEXAS hospitality! Great trip and such a fun experience!

Must-Book for Lake Austin or Lake Travis

5.00We absolutely loved our experience with Float On Austin Boat Rentals. We were there for a bachelor party, and I had doubts I would enjoy it as I’m a bit older than everyone else. We were at Lake Austin early on a Friday when the crowd size was smaller than average. Float On has everything down to an art and our captain, Cam, is a legend. They know how to ensure everyone has fun. I will call again when I go to Austin, and I will recommend them to anyone seeking a boat rental on either Lake Austin or Lake Travis.

5.00We had the absolute best time ever renting a boat from Float On for my friend's bachelorette party!! The entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. Our captain was wonderful, showing us all the best spots and ensuring we had a great time on the water. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our group. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate. Highly recommend Float On for any special occasion or just a fun day out!
