From start to finish, everything was first-class. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfect for enjoying a day on the water with friends and family. What truly made the trip exceptional was Captain Matt. He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly accommodating to our family's needs throughout the entire charter. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time, and his attention to detail made the experience completely stress-free. We showed up with our towels and drinks for the day, and Captain Matt and First Mate Summer provided the rest. They even provided the floats when we anchored in one of the many beautiful coves on the lake and just enjoyed the sun and the conversations. This is the best way to enjoy Lake Travis! I highly recommend Longtab Charters. Captain Matt delivers outstanding customer service and creates an unforgettable experience on the water. We'll definitely be booking again! 5 Stars!!!

I rented a boat from Captain Verde's Party Boats-Lake Travis and it was such a great, seamless…read moreexperience. Our party decided to rent from 10:30am-2:30pm on a Saturday to celebrate my husband's birthday. Captain Jon was my main point of contact throughout the entire booking process and he was very joyful to speak with and really responsive to texts/calls. We had booked the pontoon before the devastating July 4th floods, and for a time-being, Lake Travis was actually closed to all recreational activities due to debris and bacteria that had manifested in the lakes after such a tremendous downpour. I called Captain Jon multiple times between booking and the day of our excursion to ask questions about the conditions of the lake, how safe it would be and if they tested the water daily or weekly lol. Yes, I was that person. Never once did he sound annoyed or irritated with my multiple phone calls and I'm pretty sure he could sense that all of us moms were really worried about having our kids in the lake after we had heard about the rise in bacteria levels + the boating ban. To our relief, we were told the boating ban was lifted on July 13th, and our reservation date was set for August 2nd, but we were still on the fence about committing to the date. I must have called Captain Jon like 4-5x leading up to our trip to inquire about cancellation policies and refunds (which were also noted in our confirmation e-mail), and he was super up-front about all the conditions of the lake and assured us he wouldn't let us go out on the water if it was unsafe even after the ban had been lifted. He offered to let us switch days instead of cancelling and losing our money altogether even after the recreational boating ban was lifted. Additionally, he said if we couldn't book a new date right away (bc we all know how difficult it is to align young families' schedules these days for one free weekend), he could offer us the option of a credit for the same type of boat and we could just let him know which weekend we wanted to reschedule to whenever we found a weekend that worked for everyone. I really liked that he didn't just 'take our money,' but rather, offered options to still have us out on the water to have fun even if it meant rescheduling at a much later date. The reschedule would also be made without further charges or up-charges for holiday weekends (we were thinking of rescheduling to Labor Day wknd), so that was a plus too. We decided to go for it, and kept our reservation date with the double decker pontoon with a single slide+Lily Pad (aka) "Goldmember," and it was the perfect size for our party of 3 families: (6 adults, 6 kids between the ages of 3-9 y.o.). The boat we rented was for a max capacity of 12-14 people so it seated everyone comfortably. Since we had so many kids, the shaded part of the boat is where they sat and some of us adults were able to sun-dry or bask in the sun towards the front of the pontoon. Our captain was Captain Hudson, and he held great communication with us upon arrival; told us where to walk down from the parking lot, and guided us to our boat. He was super chill, sociable, and made sure we were all safe throughout the entire experience. Parking at Paradise Cove Marina was $25 via credit card for our car, or $20 if paying with cash. It was a very brief walk from our car to the meeting spot and I was relieved to see that we didn't have to walk down a ton of rocky hillside with our coolers to get to the docks. Fyi: the pontoon also came with a large cooler (probably could fit about 4 bags of ice) but we ended up just bringing our own. I am definitely bookmarking CVPB for our next trip to Austin and we're already talking about making this a yearly thing with friends! 10/10 recommend! Thanks Jon and Captain Hudson!

10/10 - Dave & Shoreline Boat Rentals Saved Our Bachelor Party!…read more If you're looking for the best yacht rental experience on Lake Travis, stop searching and book with Shoreline Boat Rentals. We had a bachelor party with seven guys and needed a last-minute yacht reservation. We were stressed, scrambling to get everything together, and honestly weren't sure if we'd even be able to make it happen. Then we found Shoreline Boat Rentals, and Captain Dave completely saved the day. From the beginning until the moment we said goodbye, Dave's customer service was second to none. Even with such short notice, he had the yacht cleaned, prepped, and ready to go. When we arrived, he had a checklist ready to make sure we didn't forget anything in our vehicles before we left the dock. It sounds simple, but when you're trying to organize a bachelor party, little things like that make a huge difference. He took all the stress off our shoulders so we could focus on having fun. The yacht itself was absolutely beautiful--honestly, the pictures on the website don't do it justice. It's even more impressive in person, and it was spotless from front to back. What impressed me most was Dave's attention to detail. I needed a screwdriver to fix one of our water guns, and before I knew it, Dave showed up with one and even fixed it for me. That's the kind of customer service you just don't see very often. Once we got to Devil's Cove, Dave went above and beyond. He helped grill burgers, made sure everyone had food, drinks, and plenty of ice, and kept checking in to make sure everyone was having a great time. It honestly felt like his mission was to take all the thinking out of the day so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves--and he absolutely accomplished that. Safety was also a top priority. Before we left the dock, Dave clearly explained the rules while the boat was underway and while it was anchored. Everything was straightforward, easy to understand, and he made sure everyone stayed safe without taking away from the fun. Pulling into Devil's Cove was one of the highlights of the day. We cruised in with the music playing, the yacht looked incredible, and it definitely turned some heads to get the attention we wanted! It made for an unforgettable bachelor party. Captain Dave didn't just provide a yacht--he created an experience. He turned what could have been a stressful, last-minute situation into one of the best days we've had together. 10/10 across the board: customer service, professionalism, cleanliness, safety, and the overall experience. Whenever I'm back at Lake Travis, I'm booking with Shoreline Boat Rentals again. I won't even look at another company. Captain Dave earned a customer for life. Highly, highly recommend!
