    FAQs

    This rental does not include a captain. You must be a very experienced boater or bring your own captain, and you’ll provide details on your boat operating experience during booking.

    The renter must be 27 or older and show a valid driver’s license. If the driver was born on or after September 1, 1993, Texas law requires a Texas Boater Education Certificate to operate a rental vessel.

    Plan to reimburse fuel after your rental (the boat will be taken to a gas station and you’ll receive the receipt for reimbursement). Holiday weekends also have an additional per-hour charge, and some add-ons cost extra (tube and rope, wakeboard, water skis, lily pad, and a cooler with ice).

    Jeramy's operation on Lake Travis has clearly built something special, with captains who genuinely elevate the experience. Captain Pacey stands out in recent reviews as an absolute star—guests rave about her energy, humor, and ability to make every outing feel personalized and fun. Multiple groups specifically booked additional days just to go out with her again, which speaks volumes. Captain Dave also earns high praise for his laid-back expertise and storytelling during sunset cruises, while Captain Jake gets consistent thumbs up for keeping things chill and fun on the water. The boats themselves come well-equipped with water slides, floating mats, quality speakers, and coolers, setting you up for a proper lake day. Reviewers mention everything being clean and in great working order. The whole operation feels welcoming and flexible, with genuine Texas hospitality threading through the experience. Groups of all kinds—from bachelorette parties to families with young kids—had fantastic outings. It's the kind of place where the captains don't just pilot the boat but actually make the day memorable.

    The BEST boat trip ever. Caption Pacey worked so hard to make sure we had a fun and safe time!! She’ll do whatever your vibe is— either tie you up with other boats or take you a quieter area. She was perfect for our bach trip!
