Overview
Our captain serves as a tour guide who may point out landmarks, celebrity homes, or share their own personal stories from the lake. Bring your own drinks—alcoholic beverages welcome—and a camera to capture photos of the lakeside grotto known as Little Venice. Make sure and pack your swimsuit to enjoy the cool waters of Lake Austin along one of the many sandy beaches, or pop into party cove to see what the hype is all about!
The Lake Austin cruise takes off from the Loop 360 Boat Ramp located below the southern end of Pennybacker Bridge over Lake Austin. This three-acre park is primarily used for lake access, but offers a grassy area for picnicking. A few bald cypress and sycamore trees grow along the water's edge.

Traveller reviews
What a great day on the lake with the perfect Captain! Jay! So easy to book and definitely a 5 Star experience!! The pontoon boat was perfect, so nice and clean, with waters and ice in a cooler for our crew. The boat has a Bluetooth speaker and Jay was the absolute best! Thanks Float On for a great time!! Can’t wait to be back.
This was our first experience with a boat rental company. Because of their great communication leading up to the rental we had zero worries or anxiety. A lovely young man named Willough met us at our car and transported all of our bags and coolers down to the boat for us. A quick orientation of all of the boat's workings and safety features had us off the dock and stress free in no time. We are currently looking to schedule our daughter's 13 birthday with Float On next month. Can't wait!
We reserved a boat for July 4th and even though it was raining we still had a great time. Gio was friendly and entertaining. He even made sure we got a group photo by the bridge before the trip ended.
I have taken this company on the lake three times now. They are consistently polite, have nice boats, and make for a fun experience.
Jason was a great captain! Friendly and ensured we got to see the best of the lake, relax. Listen to some great music and have the very best time! Jason really went above and beyond.. we had a group of 7 ladies for the Sunset cruise and after drop off, he parked boat and waited for us to get Ubers back and would not leave till we were all safely picked up, TEXAS hospitality! Great trip and such a fun experience!
Boat was beautiful. Adam was awesome captain with great suggestions on where to swim and eat! He took great care of us! We will be back!
We absolutely loved our experience with Float On Austin Boat Rentals. We were there for a bachelor party, and I had doubts I would enjoy it as I’m a bit older than everyone else. We were at Lake Austin early on a Friday when the crowd size was smaller than average. Float On has everything down to an art and our captain, Cam, is a legend. They know how to ensure everyone has fun. I will call again when I go to Austin, and I will recommend them to anyone seeking a boat rental on either Lake Austin or Lake Travis.
We booked for a bachelorette trip and it was such a blast! The boat was clean, well maintained and very comfortable. Our captain was great too! Would definitely recommend!
