Rent a Boat in Austin, TX

Three distinct waters—no-wake Lady Bird Lake downtown, narrow Lake Austin below Tom Miller Dam, and cliff-lined Lake Travis—let you paddle past bats, surf dawn glass, and party at Devil’s Cove all in one city.

What To Know

The most popular boat rental styles in Austin include:

• Surf & wake boats for sunrise runs on Lake Austin and afternoon waves on Travis.
• Pontoons & electric cruisers for skyline loops on Lady Bird Lake (electric only).

Low bridges, zebra-mussel shoals, and fluctuating lake levels favor a Hill-Country captain.
