We had an absolutely fantastic time with Jacob at ATX Boat Rentals! From the moment we stepped on board, Jacob made us feel right at home. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and took us to some of the most beautiful spots. His friendly and professional demeanor put everyone at ease, and his stories and insights about the area added a wonderful touch to our trip.


Jacob’s boating skills were top-notch, and he ensured that we all felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Whether it was finding the perfect place for a swim or suggesting the best spots for photos, Jacob went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable.


We can’t recommend Jacob and ATX Boat Rentals enough. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable day on the water, look no further. Thanks, Jacob, for an amazing adventure!

Best boats and captains on the lake. I’ve rented from Jacob for years on both Lake Travis and Lake Austin. The captains are fun to be around and great surf instructors. Captain Spencer even got me off rope while surfing with his surf tips! I love surfing on their boats and always feel safe no matter what. They take great care of the boats and they are always clean with an ice chest ready for a day on the lake! Can’t wait for my next rental!

I had a great experience renting a boat from ATX boat rentals! The boat was really nice & well kept. Our captain Jacob was very knowledgeable about boating safety and was very successful when he taught my friends & I how to surf behind the boat! The booking process was very easy & the whole experience was great! I will definitely be renting from them again! If I could give 6 stars I would!

Best in Austin!!! I’ve been renting from ATX Boat Rentals for years now because of the people and experience. Jacob and the captains are responsive, knowledgeable and safe - we always have the best time. They actually taught me how to surf 4 years ago! I’ve brought my family and friends on many occasions and I highly recommend booking a charter with this crew! They are the best!

I booked two boats for my 25th birthday party. Spencer and Jack were kind, fun and know how to whip a boat! Jacob is the easiest to communicate with and I’m looking forward to my next rental with them! 100% recommend booking ATX boat rentals for your next day on the lake.

ATX Boat Rentals will guarantee you have an amazing time on the lake! If you’re looking to wake surf, their Malibu boats throw some juicy waves. If you’re looking to cruise the lake or just want to spend the day in the party cove, ATX Boat Rentals has you covered. The owner Jacob is very responsive and will ensure your group has the best experience. Highly recommend :)

My family and I had the best time on the water with ATX Boat Rentals. Our driver, Clayton, who has years of boating and water sports knowledge was a great teacher to us with many different levels of experience. We not only felt safe on the water but we truly had the most fun! We can’t wait to do it again!
