How the Austin Boat Rentals scene has changed

The scene for Austin boat rentals has made some drastic changes in the last few years. We've seen Austin grow into the 10th largest city in the nation! Because of this Austin has seen a huge growth in tourism activities. From the comedy scene on 6th street, all the way down to boat charters on Lake Austin, tourists are flocking to find entertainment, opening opportunities for local businesses to shine. And thats where we come in, we saw a demand in the Austin boat rentals market, and decided we wanted to take on the task of meeting it!

People have asked us why we decided to enter such a highly saturated market and to be honest, we believe that you could stick any boat out on Lake Austin and if it was captained well, it would be highly successful. The demand for boat rentals is through the roof, many charters are fully booked all summer. Hotels and vacation rentals services are sending thousands and thousands of clients down to the lake. So yes, there are a lot of business within the Austin boat rentals scene, but we believe there is still a demand for more.

The biggest challenge as a boat rental company is launching and picking up clients. If you've been out on the lake on a Saturday in the summer you know the lake is CROWDED. And with only a few launching and pick up points near Austin, we find them all to be heavily crowded and dangerous. The most popular one, 360 bridge, has gotten overly crowded over the past few years, making it hazardous to pickup anyone during the busy season. You will find a community of Austin boat rentals lingering around the bridge waiting for their clients to come.

We entered this market because of our pure love for the lake. We know that there are countless incredible charters already servicing Lake Austin and we wanted a piece of it. We wanted the opportunity to give people an amazing experience on the lake, adding to the ever-growing community of boat rentals in Austin.
