    FAQs

    Plan for a mandatory 20% captain fee (gratuity) due directly to your captain at the end of your charter unless you already pre-paid it during checkout.

    Some pickup locations may charge additional fees. Travis County Parks (including Loop 360) lists a $5 per person cash-only entry fee, and Loop 360 has no on-site parking (a small off-site lot is noted). These fees are separate from your charter.

    Yes. Everyone in your party must complete the online waiver before your trip to avoid delays.

    Big Tex operates with a team of excellent captains who consistently make Lake Travis outings memorable. Names like Jake, Captain Cole, Brandon, and Ben come up repeatedly, with reviewers praising their professionalism, safety awareness, and ability to balance fun with responsibility. The captains know the lake well, finding the best spots to anchor and ensuring everyone has a relaxed yet exciting time on the water. The boats themselves are clean and well-maintained, with options like double-decker tritoons complete with slides. Groups love this provider for bachelor parties, bachelorettes, and family outings alike. Captains go the extra mile, helping with photos and videos, accommodating last-minute extensions, and genuinely caring about their passengers. With over 2,000 reviews maintaining a perfect rating, the consistency of positive experiences speaks volumes about their reliability and service quality.

    Big Tex Boat Rentals was amazing! We rented a boat for a family fun day, and everyone had an incredible time. Our boat captain, Joel, treated us with such politeness and kindness. He was very knowledgeable about the local area and shared great information about the things people enjoy doing around Lake Travis. Joel took care of our every need and made sure our entire family had an unforgettable experience. We truly had an amazing time from start to finish! Five stars all the way! I highly recommend Big Tex Boat Rentals to anyone looking to rent a boat on Lake Travis. If you’re planning a fun day on the water, definitely go with Big Tex Boat Rentals!
