Jesse was an amazing captain! He took as all around Lake Austin, stopped for a quick swim, and offered to take pictures of us. He was an awesome captain and we will be booking with Wave Riderz again!

Had the most amazing time! My bachelorette party was in Austin, TX this last weekend and we decided to do a boat day. Spencer was our boat captain! He was awesome!!! Did everything possible to make sure we had a great time - from making sure the boat stereo system worked for our music to our fun experience in party cove. Showed us around the lake and was really easy going! Definitely would recommend to anyone traveling to Austin.

Wake Riderz is best experience. Starting with Kelly when it comes to reservations, she kills it and makes you feel like your money is worth it. Ronaldo is also the best captain, what a great experience he provides. Wouldn’t choose any other company
