Private Captained Pontoons on Lake Austin
Looking for a boat rental in Austin? Wake Riderz offers private captained pontoon rentals on Lake Austin for groups who want an easy way to get on the water without driving the boat themselves. Standard rentals include the captain and fuel, with boarding at Loop 360 Boat Ramp beneath Pennybacker Bridge.
Where We Boat
While Wake Riderz has operated our primary fleet on Lake Austin since 2015, we offer private captained boat rentals across both of Central Texas's top waterways.
Choose to cruise past the iconic Pennybacker Bridge on Lake Austin departing from Loop 360 Boat Ramp, or explore our Lake Travis boat rentals departing from Mansfield Dam Park to anchor at Devil's Cove.
Choose the Right Experience
Not every day on the water looks the same. Some groups want a private lake day, while others are looking for sightseeing, sunset views, or a specific celebration. Choose the experience that best matches your plans.
Reserve the entire pontoon for your group and spend your time cruising, swimming, relaxing, or enjoying the lake at your own pace.
