Yes, they are! With Click&Boat, most watercraft rentals in Texas are available with an experienced captain and crew. All you have to do is sit back and relax while the skipper and crew take care of everything from mooring, navigating, and more! This is also a great option for those who are planning parties or celebrations on board!

Our captains are local experts who know the area best! Allow them to show you their favorite places: from sandy beaches and coves. They might even have recommendations on the area’s best restaurants and bars if you are interested in docking’n’dining.

For those interested in bareboat charters and who have the proper sailing qualifications, don’t hesitate to contact our owners on Click&Boat for more information and availabilities.

What type of boat should I rent?

For longer stays on board, we recommend hiring a sailboat or catamaran. Sailboats are perfect for accommodating couples or small families. While catamarans are known for their stability, spaciousness, and comfort making it easy to sleep about 6 to 8 guests (depending on the model and length of the vessel) on board.

Those interested in hourly or daily rentals might prefer a motorboat or pontoon boat. They are relatively easy to navigate and manage, and you can cruise at faster speeds compared to sailing boats. An added plus with motorboats is that you can also practice water sports like wakeboarding and water-skiing.

Pontoon boats or party barges are great for hosting parties and get-togethers, due to their open deck plan and deck plan. Some even come with a built-in bar and cup holders as well as a fridge and Bluetooth audio systems, perfect for a party on Lake Austin.
