Boats & Coves bills itself as the #1 Lake Travis boat rental experience, based in Austin, Texas, with more than 15 years of expert captaining on the lake — the same lake as the extensive cluster researched throughout this session. The business specializes in double-decker pontoon boat rentals for birthday parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, corporate outings, or simply a fun day with family and friends.
The fleet includes five named double-decker boats — Double Mint (24 max guests), Stevie Ray (13 max guests), Blue Crown (14 max guests), Sage (14 max guests), and Nighthawk (14 max guests) — each running 3-8 hours and featuring a waterslide, lily pad, captain, Bluetooth sound system (several with 12″ subwoofers), an XL cooler, a rooftop deck, and fuel included.
Trips take in views of Mansfield Dam, the iconic Hippy Hollow, panoramic vistas from Windy Point, and the renowned party destination Devil’s Cove. Lake Travis is the largest of the seven Highland Lakes at 65 miles, offering swimming, scuba diving, camping, picnicking, fishing, and zip-lining beyond just boating. Sunset cruises are also available.
Guest testimonials are extraordinarily glowing, with reviewers repeatedly praising specific captains — Chris, Bree — by name for genuinely kind, accommodating service, describing memorable bachelorette parties and birthday celebrations, and specifically noting the owner personally going out of his way to reschedule a trip around a scheduling complication.
