Steven's Charter absolutely blew my expectations out of the water...pun intended. I'll start by…read moresaying I'm the maid of honor for my sister's wedding and it was my job to plan her Bachelorette party. 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!

NautiATX charters is the best in town not even debatable. Here are a few reasons why:…read more 1) safety is first when on the water, and after a scary experience with a careless driver in the past it made me hesitant to trust anyone again. There are so many people out there it can get dangerous quick and I've never felt unsafe with NautiATX. 2) Austin has been our driver every time and he has done an exemplary job 100% of the time. Dude taught me how to wake surf and absolutely love it, it's so much fun 3) it's Always a good day with them. Never once has someone had to cancel or not keep their word. They are always punctual and deliver high marks every single time. Go with Nauti ATX charters you won't be disappointed

Decided to hire Nauti ATX Charters for a fun Bachelorette trip at Lake Travis! For a party of 9-10,…read moreI wanted my guests to experience waterfront life in Austin and rented a Pontoon boat for 4 hours. Before arriving to the dock, Trisha, who has been coordinating with us, and Brett, our captain, contacted us about half an hour ahead of time notifying us that Brett was ready for us at the lake whenever we arrived! Upon arrival, he provided a cooler with ice and water bottles for us to use to store some of our sandwiches and drinks. The boat ride was extremely smooth and he provided much insight into Lake Travis! The boat was equipped with speakers that allowed us to play our favorite songs and the slide & lily pad were a nice added touch! The girls and I thoroughly enjoyed it and the location he chose, Devil's Cove, was great for pictures and swimming. Overall, the experience was a 10/10 and I would highly recommend booking with Nauti ATX Charters again!

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.

I originally reserved 3 weeks ahead. However, the weather didn't look good, so to avoid 1 day fee,…read moreI cancelled the reservation. (They have a policy if you cancel, they will give you credit in the future, but I'm not planning on being back.) I called on the morning I wanted to go and they had boats available and could accommodate. I arrived and the staff were all polite and helpful. Cooper K took care of coordinating my rental and was fair, professional, and went over the "rules" with me in a polite yet thorough manner. The other team members did as he directed to get the boat ready and ensure easy launch. The boat was in great condition, well maintained, and was very comfortable for guest and handled well for me (captain). A couple of recommendations for VIP - 1) use 150' lines on anchors vs 100'; and 2) rent the "lilly pad" floats. Buying for $375+ isn't practical if the customer is from out of town. I recommend the business and I am not affiliated with it. The staff did not know I write reviews.

If you're heading out on Lake Travis, ask for Cooper -- he is the definition of above and beyond!…read moreWe came to VIP Marina with high hopes for a great day on the water, and Cooper made sure that's exactly what we got. When things weren't going as planned, he jumped in without hesitation and turned what could have been a ruined day into an absolutely incredible one. His positivity, knowledge, and genuine willingness to help made all the difference. Cooper didn't just do his job -- he went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of, comfortable, and back on the water. VIP Marina is lucky to have someone like Cooper on their team. He's the reason our day on Lake Travis was one for the books. We'll absolutely be back, and we'll be asking for Cooper every single time. Thank you so much !!!!

When Steve and I were planning our trip to Austin, Texas we realized fairly quickly that we didn't…read moreknow the city very well at all. In previous vacations we took bus tours to get a little bit more familiar with the city and that is what we did with Austin. Only this time we rode a Double Decker bus! I have seen this kind of bus tour here and there and have seen it when I am in Seattle. Officially I think after this particular bus tour it was my first time riding a Double Decker bus. The weather was typical spring weather on our entire visit but the day we chose to take this tour it was nice and warm and a perfect time to go ride this bus followed by rain for a few days (This took place in April). The ride was so much fun and the tour guide was great! Austin is definitely a different cut than the rest of Texas and that was reflected in many of the people we met. Open mindedness being one and we really felt that with the tour guide. He was so knowledgeable of the city and the neighborhoods and all that made this bus tour all the more amazing. But of course they would probably have staff with personalities that would be compatible in this way. Riding on the top of the bus was so much fun. A few times we had to duck from tree branches and I lowered my head a few times from the traffic lights but that was just me getting nervous with being that high to a light. You see all the sights, famous buildings, museums, local culture, restaurant recommendations and so much more while on this tour. So this was a great experience! I was in Austin proper once a very long time ago and saw just how much it's grown. So it was cool getting acquainted with the city one more time thanks to this bus tour!

At first, I sat on the upper level. It was wonderful to be out in the fresh air. However, the sun was a little too much for me so I had to move down to the inside area. I was the only one down there which was fine, but it was really quite filthy. There was thick gray dust on the top rail of all the seats and the fabric on the seats themselves was all thick with black grease. The tour guide was really wonderful. Entertaining and knowledgeable with one exception that was actually kind of disturbing to me personally. When we got to South Congress he talked about the "I love you so much" wall. His story of a husband painting it for his wife could not have been more wrong. It was in fact done by an artist named Amy for her then girlfriend Liz an infamous Austin hotelier and restauranteur. It is an incredibly iconic part of Austin history and if it's told it should be not fiction. I hope for sure this can be corrected for future tours.
