No. Your pontoon does not have a bathroom. Use the marina porta potties before and after your rental.
Bring your own drinks and snacks to stock the empty YETI cooler. Your rental includes a Bluetooth sound system, so you can play your music.
Captains use the card on file to close out the tab at the end of the rental, so you don’t have to bring it with you.
Lake Travis l Hurst Harbor Marina
This Lake Austin boat rental operation has clearly built something special based on years of consistently excellent service. Customers rave about the professional yet friendly approach, from responsive booking communications to the seamless experience on the water. The boats arrive clean and well-maintained, exactly as promised, and pickup arrangements are refreshingly flexible—several groups mention being collected right from their dock or favorite lakeside restaurants. The captains really make the difference here. Jay, Collin, Ramon, David, and Travis all get enthusiastic shoutouts for their local knowledge, safety awareness, and ability to tailor trips perfectly. They know the hidden canals worth exploring, the best swimming spots, and how to navigate choppy water smoothly. Groups have celebrated birthdays, proposals, and team outings with these guides, who somehow manage to entertain kids while keeping adults relaxed. The pricing comes across as reasonable compared to competitors, and many reviewers mention they've become repeat customers or use the service regularly for business needs.
We had an awesome time on Lake Travis. The employees were super friendly, helpful and informative, since we rented a pontoon with no captain. The pontoon was clean and ran smoothly. It fit 8 of us comfortably and they allowed us to bring our two small fur babies (that was a major PLUS!). We’ll def go with Float On again!
