Rentals include safety gear, Bluetooth sound systems, a spacious Lilypad float, and an empty YETI cooler for personal drinks. Guests may choose captained trips departing from Loop 360 Boat Ramp, Hurst Harbor Marina, or other Austin area launch points, or opt for self-driven options on Lake Bastrop where permitted.
Float On’s wakesurf program features instruction from Raleigh Hager, a two-time world champion, offering private and small-group lessons with included boards. Specialty experiences include seasonal events such as the Lake Travis Holiday Boat Parade of Lights, Devil’s Cove party cruises, and Fourth of July fireworks shows on Lake Austin and Lake Travis. Public BYOB sunset tours and small-group party cove charters provide social, scenic options for solo travelers or private groups.
Safety is emphasized through provided life jackets and standard safety equipment on every vessel, along with captained options for guests who prefer a guided experience. Pricing varies by trip type, passenger capacity, and special event. Float On is positioned as a local operator focused on lake-centered recreation in the Austin area, delivering curated on-water experiences for families, friends, and watersports enthusiasts.
