You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and wants everyone on board to have an unforgettable experience.

If you want a boat without all of the hassle of owning a boat and want over the top customer…read moreservice, this is your club. I've been a member for 4 or 5 years and have nothing but great things to say about the club. I owned boats for over 10 years and as a single female, most of my girlfriends couldn't back a trailer or help me with getting the boat in the water so I was usually doing it all by myself (which isn't easy with a 22+ foot boat). When I was with a guy who didn't know how to do those things it was awkward. Plus, owning and storing a boat as nice as the club has was more than twice as expensive. I've been tempted to buy a boat again a few times over the past few years but every time I walk up to a boat at Volente Boat Club that is already on the lake and ready to go.....and then I get off the boat and never have to clean or maintain it......well, that's an easy decision. I will say that the dock hands get to know you and it feels good to walk up with a group of friends and be greeted by name and treated like you are valued. It strokes the ego a bit. Also, in all of the years as a member I've never had problems getting a reservation.....and I'm really bad about waiting until the last minute to book. In fact, today I called them up around 11 and said I would be out there some time between 2-3 and they got me right on a boat. At the end of the day, Alex, the manager saw my son and I walking to the parking lot (which is the only downside.....but great exercise) and he told us to jump in his car and gave us a ride up the hill to where we were parked. That is customer service. :) I love the club and it's really the best way to enjoy a carefree lake experience.

If Lake Travis is 15+ feet down, you're unfamiliar with the marinas, and you're looking to launch…read morefrom FM 2769, then Highland Lakes Marina is a solid choice. Launching will cost $15 from concrete ramp and includes ample parking. Biggest drawback is not having a dock to get in from near the launch. Their dock is around the corner and quite a ways from the launch, and the neighboring property has no trespassing signs all over it - but is usable if you're quick. Associated facilities include: campground, dry storage, wet slips, and boat rental.

First review! These guys are simply awesome. I was hesitant to use this business because they…read moredidn't have any reviews, but I started reading bad reviews about other rental businesses providing shoddy equipment and such. Wave Ride'n Rentals has brand new equipment, and they also don't have a specific location so they have several lakes they can drop off your rental at (they meet you there). You can do everything over text message so you don't have to call if you don't want. Just text the number showing on their Yelp page there. As for the waverunner experience itself, it's fun and easy. You can go really fast. You have to stay 50 feet away from other boats etc. The Wave Ride'n Rentals person that dropped off your waverunner will wait for you to finish your session and then you just take it back to the dock and he picks you up. He walks you through it so it's not hard. The only thing I would recommend is, if you go to a big lake, before you drive off in the waverunner, tell Siri to save your location (or take a screenshot). That way you can figure out how to get back if you get a bit lost! Oh also, they provide life vests and all that so all you have to bring is yourself and whoever is riding with you, some sunglasses, and your phone. We never fell in but they acted like that is a possibility, so maybe wear swim trunks etc. Have fun! Highly recommend this business. Great experience!

LOL. I am convinced the reviews are fake…read more I emailed and called to confirm things since i got a confirmation but nothing that was not autogenerated. No response. I reserved paid in full, then got a message about the jet skis being out of commission due to an accident from the party before me- less than 2 hours before my rental (easter weekend). I did not get upset like accidents happen i get that. The driver said management would be in touch to confirm refund. I sent the screen shot to the email and asked to confirm refund. Called the number on the website- not in use anymore. Called and left the message with the number on the receipt- left message saturday, sunday and monday- called tuesday just didnt leave a message. I also texted and texted the driver to help get in contact with management. Its crazy that i still have yet to hear back and there wasnt even apology for the inconvenience of the holiday weekend having to be completely hail maryed to entertain my kids. im still wating on management and a refund confirmation.

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.

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 !!!!
