  The party boat experience was a highlight of our bachelorette party. Travis was our River Captain and he took very good care of us and brought nothing but good vibes. I would highly recommend this experience to groups looking to enjoy the water, amazing architecture along the shore and for an ultimate party boat experience.

  Brandon and Kendrick were great. We had an engine issue a short while into our three hour rental. They resolved it as quickly as possible and were able to extend our rental time a bit. Will return and use them again.

  We were met at the boat dock about 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time which was very nice. Also return of the boat took all of 3 minutes making the whole experience very smooth. The boat was in great shape also.

Best day ever! We were so happy with the service provided, we were out on the water on time and met promptly at the ramp when we got back. Everyone was so nice and the boat was awesome. It was in perfect condition, the lily pad and paddle board were so fun for us and our kids to use too. It was reasonably priced and we had an amazing day on the water. I will definitely be using them again next time we’re in Austin.

Awesome experience. Everyone at ATX Party boats was very easy going and friendly, and I had all of my questions answered ahead of time. Our captain, Connor, was especially accommodating with our big group of people. The boat was clean and we had plenty of room to put our stuff and spread out. I will book with them next time and tell my friends to do the same. Would definitely recommend!
