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!

We're from California and the previous summer had booked a yacht through Lake Travis Yacht Rentals, which was an okay experience. I booked with the same company for her bachelorette weekend and 2 days before we were supposed to leave for the trip they had to change our boat from a yacht to a pontoon due to engine issues. I was scrambling to secure another yacht ahead of the busy weekend and happened to find Steven's Charter. Not only did they accommodate a last-minute booking, but they also created an unforgettable experience for our entire party. To say the boat was an upgrade from the summer before is an understatement at best. The boat has been under the same ownership for 20+ years and has been well taken care of. There was a spacious upper deck as well as an enclosed lower deck complete with several bedrooms, bathrooms, and a full kitchen. Absolutely stunning. This is a family-run business and their communication with you is impeccable. I had all of the information I needed leading up to the charter as well as consistent day of communication. Captain Rodney and his crew met us in the parking lot to drive us and all of our stuff down to the dock where we boarded the boat. The charter we chose was 4 hours and within that time the captain and crew took care of everything. They fetched us drinks and food while we lounged on the boat or in the water. They helped take pictures and document our entire experience - they truly went above and beyond. Our entire party felt incredibly safe on the boat especially when an unexpected thunderstorm hit. They handled it like the pros they are. Huge thanks to Captain Rodney, his beautiful wife Cher, Fraizer and CiCi for making our weekend truly memorable. We can't wait to book with you again!

My hubby and I have been yearning for the sailing life for literal years now, and we decided that…read morethis summer was the perfect time to start making that dream a reality by taking the first sailing course, ASA 101! Our initial thought was to find a sailing school in Kemah, but I wondered if there was one closer to us, and, sure enough, there is! Enter Outbound Sailing on Lake Travis. We scheduled our class right away online, and the manager, Sean, confirmed with us almost immediately. Both he and Tim, the business owner, were absolute pleasures to work with! When the day finally came for Day 1 of our ASA 101 course, we headed over to Lakeway to meet our instructor, Spencer, at the dock, and, y'all, he is seriously the most open, sweet, encouraging, and engaging person ever, and that's not hyperbole! I was extremely nervous about the whole thing, but he immediately made me feel INCREDIBLY at ease, and, we got straight to work! From beginning to end, hubby and I knew that Spencer had our backs, from the dock talks to the rigging talks to the knot talks to the hours of beautiful practice sailing. He made all of that hard work feel like pure fun! Make no mistake, though, y'all! It IS hard work, and you need to know that going in! It's an actual class, so don't expect mimosas and charcuterie boards as you sail! LOL! You need to Really. Want. To. Learn. How. To. Sail. We did, so we were all in! Pro tip: When they tell you to buy the official ASA book for the course and to study it PRIOR to the class, take them seriously! Study, and especially commit the Points of Sail and the sailboat, sails, and rigging parts to memory. Also, do the 4 review sections! It'll all make things a lot easier on you! There's a 100 multiple choice question official ASA exam that you take on the morning of Day 2, and, while Spencer was a GENIUS at preparing us for it, we were able to spend more time actually sailing because of how prepared we made ourselves ahead of time! After two intense and awesome days, hubby and I both ended up passing the course to become ASA 101 certified (yay!), but, most importantly, we truly had the time of our lives doing it, and we absolutely have Spencer LeGrande and Outbound Sailing to thank for that!

LOL Captain Scott is a skilled sailor and a wonderful instructor... I'd take another class from him any time.

Lake Travis is a good place to take your sailing training, the winds come from all directions and are constantly changing. We are looking forward to further honing our sailing skills and sailing with Outbound Sailing. We highly recommend you check them out if you're thinking about learning to sail.
