What To Expect When You Rent a Party Boat

Renting a party boat is one of the most fun ways to celebrate an event or just spend a day out on the water with friends. At Party Goat, we’re all about creating unforgettable experiences, and renting a boat on Lake Austin is one of the best ways to do that. Whether it’s your first time renting a boat or you’re a seasoned pro, this guide will walk you through what to expect, so you can show up ready for a fantastic time.

Getting Ready for Your Party Boat Adventure

First things first – what do you need to bring? The beauty of renting a party boat is that most of the essentials are already provided for you. We make sure the boat is equipped with everything you’ll need for a great day out on the water, but there are a few personal items you won’t want to forget.

Must-Haves:

• Sunscreen (trust us, you’ll want this)
• Towels
• Drinks and snacks (we provide coolers, but you’ll want to fill them up!)
• Water toys or floats for extra fun

Arrival and Boarding

When you arrive at the dock, we’re here to make sure the fun starts right away. One of the best things about renting from us is that all of our boats are captained – no need to worry about navigating or parking the boat yourself. Our captains know the lake inside and out, so they’ll take you to the best spots.

Once you’re on board, we’ll give you a quick run-through of the boat, pointing out the essentials like the Bluetooth speaker system, lifejackets, and where to store your gear. Then, it’s time to hit the water!

Cruising and Exploring the Lake

One of the biggest perks of renting a boat is that you’re not limited to one spot. We’ll cruise through some of Lake Austin’s most scenic areas, where you’ll have the chance to soak up the views of gorgeous waterfront homes, green hills, and iconic landmarks like the 360 Bridge.

We always recommend anchoring at Party Cove, a popular spot where people tie up their boats, play music, and float around on lily pads. This is the heart of the action if you’re looking to socialize with other boaters or just relax and enjoy the energy of the lake.

Time for Fun: Swimming and Partying

Once we’ve found the perfect spot, it’s time to let loose! Our boats come with a large lily pad, perfect for swimming and lounging in the water. Feel free to bring your own floats and toys to add to the fun. Whether you’re jumping into the lake, dancing to your favorite playlist, or simply relaxing in the sun, this is your time to enjoy every minute.

We love seeing how creative our guests get with their parties. From themed bachelorette celebrations to laid-back birthday outings, every trip is a little different. Our captains are laid-back but professional, so they’ll give you the space to do your thing while making sure everything stays safe and smooth.

Captained Experience

One thing that really sets us apart is our experienced captains. We handle everything from navigating the lake to ensuring everyone is safe and comfortable. You can relax knowing you’re in good hands, allowing you to fully enjoy the day without any stress.

Wrapping Up Your Day on the Water

All good things must come to an end – even the best boat days! At the end of your rental, we’ll head back to the dock, but we always make sure there’s plenty of time for last-minute swims or photo ops. We love when guests want to make the most of their time on the water, so feel free to ask for a few extra minutes to snap that perfect sunset shot.
