About Us

Lone Star Party Boats was started back in 2018 as a boat rental company looking to give bachelor and bachelorette parties, as well as families, birthday parties, or any other group looking to have a great time on the water the ultimate experience. We found that every group wanted the same thing, Xl double decker pontoon with a water slide, so that’s what we now offer on all of our boats.

Everything on our boats from the flooring, upholstery, the quality of the boat itself, to the sound system is the absolute top of the line in the industry. We don’t cut corners, and we believe if you give people great service, offer a great product, and treat your staff well everyone wins. You’ll find if you rent from us your driver will be a top driver on the lake with tons of experience. He’ll love working for Lone Star Party Boats, and will go the extra mile to make sure you and your group have the best time possible.

If you are still unsure about booking your boat rental with us, Google Lone Star Party Boats and read some of our hundreds of 5 star reviews. That doesn’t happen by accident, it happens by making sure every single group that we have the pleasure of taking out on the water has the time of their lives, and if there is an issue, as rear as that might be, we make sure the customer walks away happy.

Captain Beau was amazing to work with! We had to change our reservation many times, and he was patient and understanding. He was more than happy to change the reservation to fit our needs. The captain led our group to a private area where they could slide, jump, hang out, and more. Would recommend again and again!!!

What an amazing experience we had with Lone Star Boats Rentals for my bachelorette party! Captain Taylor was awesome and so accommodating. We rented the Midnight Rodeo, which was a double decker boat with a slide and the girls and I had a blast! I would recommend this to any one visiting Austin, Texas for their Bachelorette or Bachelor party.

Captain Chris made our Lake Travis pontoon trip absolutely awesome. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day fun and stress-free while showing us some great spots on the lake. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our group. And I have to give a special shoutout to his phenomenal mullet. It may have been the most impressive thing on the lake. If you’re looking for a great time on Lake Travis, Captain Chris is your guy! 🚤🌊🍻

Chris was absolutely amazing as our boat captain! From the moment we stepped onboard, he made us feel welcome, safe, and relaxed. He was professional, knowledgeable, and had a great personality that made the entire trip even more enjoyable.

Chris went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fantastic experience, and you could tell he genuinely cared about his guests having a great time. Whether it was sharing local knowledge, finding great spots on the water, or simply making the day fun and stress-free, he exceeded all expectations.

If you’re lucky enough to have Chris as your captain, you’re in for an incredible experience. We would book with him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

We had a very relaxing tour of lake travis on our party barge. Our captain was joel Scott and he was a wealth of information as well as very easy to get along with. The weather was a little cold but we knew that was a chance scheduling it around Thanksgiving.

What a great experience. Booking online was easy. Because of the high water level we were able to be picked up and dropped off on the shoreline. Captain Joel was awesome. Very professional but also very friendly and fun. He was also very aware of our surroundings and other boats and making sure we were all safe. Everyone had a great time and we highly recommend using Lone Star Party Boats and the Cactus Jack and Captain Joel!

On 1/18/25, our family boarded the Midnight Rodeo with Captain Brandon and released the ashes of our brother into his beloved Lake Travis. The trip was all that we had hoped it to be. Captain Brandon was so respectful of our desires--he helped us find the exact spot our brother could see from his house. Thank you, Beau and Captain Brandon!

Brandon aka Brenda was wonderful. Made sure all the girls were safe and taken care of the whole day! Was such a good sport when we asked him to play along with our shenanigans! Even fed the duckies with th girls!
Two weeks prior he took the bachelor party out too and he was remembered & loved from both the bride and groom! If you plan on a lake day in Austin definitely request Brandon for the best day on the water!

Lone Star Party boats was awesome!!! Our captain Brandon made it that much better of an experience. He was fun and happy to be there. Also, he made sure our bags were safe and folded our towels. He went the extra mile to give my sister the best Bachelorette ever on Lake Travis!!! I 1000% recommend going on a party boat for your next trip. Especially if you have Brandon!!
