    Looking down from the top deck onto the tables on the lower deck.

    Just used them this past weekend and they were wonderful! The boat was there early and prepared, the staff was amazing and had everything ready and helped us with anything we needed. They even told us about some of the houses we passed on the cruise that were owned by celebrities and such. The cruise and boat was beautiful and it lasted plenty of time! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone!

    My girlfriend and I decided on a whim to go on the Riverboat Brunch today and it was the best decision we've made since moving to Austin 7 years ago. I can't rate this high enough. The staff were exceedingly welcoming, the bar service was fantastic, and the views were spectacular. I'd recommend this to anyone who just wants a nice day out on the lake with some drinks, brunch and breeze off of the water.

    La Grosse Tete Jazz Band on The Commodore's Pup
    Laura S.

    The rehearsal dinner given for our son's wedding was fantastic. The guests were still talking about it at the wedding. We had 90 guests on The Commodore's Pup and never felt crowded. The Hula Hut appetizers were great, especially the ribs. The scenery shows a different side of Austin that the out-of-town guests loved to see. We had an excellent New Orleans style jazz band, La Grosse Tete, that were the finishing touch. Scout and his crew are extremely organized and ultra professional. Having a rehearsal dinner here instead of a conventional restaurant was referred to as "A stroke of genius" by the Father of the Bride. We didn't buy quite enough beer, but the crew had a spare case, saving the day. I guess that happens often. The cost was so reasonable, too.

    We had such an amazing time on Lake Travis thanks to Willo and Float On. Everything about the…read moreexperience was extremely streamlined from booking to filling out waivers to navigating to the marina. Willo gave superb instructions on operating and piloting the boat including an overview of relevant customs and laws while out on the water. Our group had six adults and one 2-year old and they had plenty of water safety devices for all ages. On a side note, it was wonderful to see how genuinely excited Willo was about Lake Travis once again having a healthy water level after several dry years. In terms of our experience on the lake, we got excellent advice on where to travel based on our team's interests and after following his directions it felt like we had arrived on our own private lake. We probably only saw a handful of other boats during our 3-hour excursion and that was only in passing. The boat came with a Garmin GPS that made it really easy to retrace our steps. For those wondering, there was excellent cell phone service out on the lake and we were able to use our phone GPS, make calls, and stream music. The boat had some nice integrated speakers with Bluetooth connectivity and we were able to jam out to our own tunes. There was also a cool flotation device attached to the back of the boat called the Aqua Lily Pad which we unrolled after anchoring, we had multiple adults laying on it without sinking into the lake. Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience and we would highly recommend booking with Float On.

We were able to go to one room, mingle and go to the bar to obtain drinks. It was an unlimited bar, which was a scary but good thing. I had a glass of Merlot wine. Once everyone arrived, we were told to find a place to sit down for our initial course which is a salad. Then they would come out and get our drinks as we needed them. It's a nice cruise because you're moving on the water, and have the opportunity to go out and stand on the deck while moving. They brought our entrees quickly. I had the crusted salmon which was amazing. We had dessert which was How cheesecake, it was amazing. All of the food was very delicious. The wine was good as well. Towards the last 30-45 minutes, we were able to go to the top of the deck for some relaxation to music from the DJ. It allowed people to loosen up and dance and have a nice time. This was a great experience. It's only 2 hours long. This is a great venue for an event. There is a parking lot near the dock or a parking garage a few blocks down toward the east by the aquarium. I was there for a funeral event to celebrate the passing of a wonderful person. They had all the memorabilia for the deceased and, as sad as it was, it was a wonderful tribute and a great place to hold the tribute. The boat has 3 full decks for the people coming to any event. 2 of the decks were inside and the upper deck is open-air. There were plenty of tables and seating on each deck. This even had displays on the bottom 2 decks and a food presentation on the middle deck. The staff was wonderful and the boat is very nice. They did a wonderful job for this event and I am thankful for that. I am certain that this is a great place to hold that event that you want to celebrate in a unique way that people will remember forever.

    Captain Zach was an amazing driver/ host and made our trip memorable for me and the birthday crew.read more

    We booked this boat ride for a birthday, so it was meant to be a special experience. Overall, the…read morescenery was beautiful and the ride itself was enjoyable, but there were several issues that took away from what should have been a smooth private charter experience. The communication beforehand was not great. The driver texted me the night before around 7:45 PM, and when I replied immediately with concerns about the weather and rain, I didn't receive a response until after 10 PM. The email also stated that the driver would contact us 15-30 minutes before the reservation time, but that never happened. Our reservation was from 9:00-11:00 AM. When we arrived at 9:00, no one was there, so I had to text the driver myself. He responded saying he was getting the boat ready and putting gas in it. In my opinion, those things should have been done ahead of time so guests are properly greeted and the ride can begin on time. When we boarded, the seats and boat were still wet from the rain. Since it was chilly outside, sitting in wet seats for a two-hour ride left our clothes damp and uncomfortable. To give credit where it's due, the driver was friendly and enjoyable to talk to during parts of the ride. However, he also took phone calls during the charter, which felt distracting during what was supposed to be a private birthday outing. The biggest disappointment came on the ride back. The driver stopped to assist another boat that had already said help was on the way. He tied their boat to ours and pulled them in, which significantly took away from the private experience we had paid for. While helping others is kind, it felt inappropriate during a paid private charter, especially one booked for a birthday celebration. Additionally, the trip ran later than scheduled, and there was never any communication about the delay. Our reservation was clearly scheduled for 9-11 AM, and it shouldn't be assumed guests are okay with going over time simply because the ride started late. People may have plans afterward, and communication would have gone a long way. Overall, the lake itself was beautiful and parts of the experience were enjoyable, but the lack of communication, late start, wet boat, interruptions, and detour during our private charter made the experience fall short of expectations.
