Great for Team Celebrations too!

Took my team on a boat tour at the end of the quarter, they loved it! It was a fun and different way to celebrate other than a catered lunch at the office!

Family Boat Adventure!

We had such an amazing time on Lake Travis thanks to Willo and Float On. Everything about the experience 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.

Lovely Lake Cruise!

We had an amazing boat ride on Lake Travis with a few friends to share a memorable family milestone. The boat was super clean and comfortable, much more so than I expected—more like a luxury cruise! All the amenities you’d want were available. Captain Jared was super accommodating and customized the trip for exactly what we wanted making it truly a special occasion for us. A lovely and memorable trip!

Best Captains on Lake Travis

Another great afternoon on the lake. Captain Servando was awesome and knew all the good places for us to spend our day at. Will only ever book with Float On! Convenient access to their marina and they do all the heavy lifting. Bonus yeti coolers on each boat. Overall 10/10

Incredible Crew!

Float On did a phenomenal job! From helping coordinate our group onto the boat (transporting items and helping us organize on the boat) all the way to allowing us extend a last-minute extra hour, our group had a great time and will be back again!

Wonderful!

Float On was a great company to use for a Lake Travis outing! They were easy to work with and so accommodating! I will definitely use them again when I have family in town again and want to show them our beautiful lake!

Highly Recommend!

Such a great time! Did this for my boyfriends birthday. It was just us two and two other parties on the party. Super relaxed and the scenery and the houses were so beautiful! Highly recommend! Bring your drinks and snacks!
