Good Time Tours is a captained party boat rental service on Lake Travis serving Austin, Texas, founded in June 2014 and docked at Paradise Cove Marina — the exact same address (17141 Rocky Ridge Rd) as “Boats & Coves,” “WakeLine Boat Rentals,” “Party Boat Austin,” “CUCO Jetski and Yacht Rentals,” and “Lone Star Party Boats,” all researched earlier this session. The business charters private double-decker pontoon boats for group celebrations and events, hosting pre-wedding parties, birthday celebrations, corporate outings, and private group cruises.
The fleet centers on “Rambunctious,” a 17-passenger double-decker party boat featuring an upper sundeck, a water slide from the top deck, a high-output Bluetooth speaker system, an oversized lily pad floating mat, shaded lower-deck seating, and U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for all 17 passengers. Every charter includes a TPWD-licensed, CPR/First Aid certified captain, fuel for the full 4-hour minimum charter, a Bluetooth sound system, a large cooler, and a pre-departure safety briefing — genuinely flat-rate group pricing rather than per-person, with rates running $800 Monday-Thursday, $1,100 Friday and Sunday, or $1,300 on Saturdays (holiday weekends by inquiry), plus a 20% captain’s gratuity paid in cash.
Party Cruise options include Bachelor Party (anchoring at Devil’s Cove), Bachelorette Party, Birthday Party, Wedding Celebration, Corporate & Team Event, Sunset Cruise, and Holiday Weekend charters (Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day — these dates fill months in advance). Captains know Lake Travis intimately, taking guests to Devil’s Cove, Mansfield Dam, The Island, the Oasis at sunset, and quieter family-friendly swimming coves.
With a 4.9-star Google rating, guest testimonials are consistently glowing, with reviewers repeatedly praising the professional, on-time captains and describing memorable bachelor party weekends, corporate outings, sister bachelorette trips, and milestone birthday celebrations — several reviewers specifically call it the best party boat experience in Austin.
Booking and phone hours run daily 10am-10pm, with charter departures scheduled daily on Lake Travis, including weekends and holidays.
For celebrations and groups near Austin, Texas looking for a highly reviewed, TPWD-licensed captained double-decker party boat rental on Lake Travis, Good Time Tours offers an outstanding, well-established operation at Paradise Cove Marina.
