One of the most common questions we receive is if we require a boat captain with our rentals. In short, aye (yes)!
Our boat captains are boating certified in safety education, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and love what they do, but there is also a host of other benefits of having a boat captain on board to consider, too.
- They know how to navigate our local waters operationally. This includes understanding Texas laws and regulations with regards to boating basics and conduct (like headway speeds, steering rules & traffic zones).
- They have the knowledge to troubleshoot mechanical issues and know how to assist and who to contact in emergency situations.
- They help with the loading/unloading of passengers and any personal belongings you may choose to bring on board.
- They identify potentially inclement weather conditions and act accordingly to keep you safe.
- They can suggest and traverse to popular spots on Lake Austin to swim, explore and capture social media-worthy photos of.
