Private Boat Parties on Lake Austin

A Wake Riderz party boat rental gives your group its own private boat and captain on Lake Austin. Instead of sharing a crowded commercial charter with strangers, book our private Lake Austin boat rentals to cruise, anchor, swim, and celebrate on your own schedule.

Your Own Private Boat

Each private rental is reserved for your group. You can enjoy music, conversation, swimming, floating, sightseeing, or a mix of everything without sharing the boat with unrelated guests.

Captain Included

An experienced captain handles the boat so your group can focus on enjoying Lake Austin. Fuel is also included with private rentals at no additional cost.

Shade, Music, and Time on the Water

Dual Bimini tops provide partial or full shade, Bluetooth audio lets your group play its own music, and the included floating water mat gives you another way to relax when conditions allow.

Party Boat Rentals Built Around Your Group

Wake Riderz operates four matching 24-foot Bentley pontoon boats on Lake Austin. Each boat has a tritoon configuration, accommodates up to 13 passengers plus the captain, and is powered by a 140 HP Suzuki outboard.

The matching fleet makes it easier to provide a consistent setup from one rental to the next. Larger groups can also contact us about coordinating multiple boats when availability allows.
