Hear From Happy Wake Riderz Pontoon Renters
We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional experiences. See what our guests have to say about their Lake Austin pontoon rentals:
“We ended our family trip with an unforgettable private tour of Lake Austin, and I can’t say enough good things about Wake Riderz. After being a bit underwhelmed by Lady Bird Lake (even after a great bat cruise and stunning sunset), I called Wake Riderz on a whim Saturday afternoon — and Kelly worked her magic to get us out on the water Sunday night.
What followed was nothing short of spectacular. My 75-year-old dad has watched the Dell Match Play golf tournament for years and always dreamed of seeing Austin Country Club and the 360 Bridge in person. Thanks to Kelly and our incredible Captain Spencer, we got to cruise right past the course and spend time soaking it all in — a once-in-a-lifetime moment for our family.
The boat was beautiful, the water like glass, and the weather couldn’t have been better. Seeing Mozart’s Coffee from the water (after visiting twice that weekend!) and jumping in for a swim added to the fun. Spencer was relaxed, genuine, and super knowledgeable — pointing out local sights and giving us space to enjoy the moment, even letting us play our own music when the time was right. Bonus highlight: seeing Lucky the Swan (and thankfully not having to square off with him!).
Truly a night we’ll never forget. Wake Riderz gave us the perfect finale to my parents’ first visit to Austin. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for my next Lake Austin experience.” — Blair Kessler., May 2025
“The captain was very knowledgeable and informative. He also was great at handling the boat. It was the best experience I had in Austin.” — Vimi Kaul., May 2025
“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!” — Kayla Trites., April 2025
