Luxurious 40 ft Carver Yacht | Lake Travis, Austin, Texas
Thank you so much Captain DJ and Dane! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. You were both so helpful, kind, and easy going. This was my first sunset cruise with clients, but it won’t be the last! We appreciate your prompt communication when I had questions. Getmyboat was an easy way to book! Thanks again!

BENTLEY PARTY PONTOON BOAT 25 ft+Captain [Party, Swim, Fish ] Lake Travis
This was the first time me and my friends visited lake travis and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Mica was ready to answer all our questions and was open to picking us up at a spot which was more convenient for the group. Jeff was a wonderful captain and he kept us entertained throughout while respecting our privacy. i would hughly recommend them and will retun again.

**2-Story Pontoon **SLIDE+SHADE**
Meagan’s boat was a 10/10 experience from the time we met up with her Captain, Captain Pacey. Captain Pacey was communicative, helpful and so much fun and really brought great vibes for a wonderful day on the water. She knew the spots to meet up and dock while also giving us warnings about when we needed to leave or pack up to be on time for our ride back into Austin! Everyone should book with Meagan. The value of this boat is well worth - we had 15 girls for a bachelorette trip!

I texted Andrew at 3am the night before I wanted to go out in the boat and he responded quickly! He was very punctual and was able to accommodate our request to go fishing and I even caught a catfish! It was definitely a wonderful memorable day!
