Self-Captained Sea Ray on Lake Austin and Lake Travis | Boat Rental | Water Activities

Captained Sea Ray delivers a day on the water across two of Central Texas’s most popular reservoirs: Lake Austin and Lake Travis, both accessed from Quinlan Park and Mansfield Dam Park outside Austin, Texas. This self-captained Sea Ray rental from Jeramy's Boat Rentals puts eight people, Bluetooth sound, shade, and safety gear aboard a sleek runabout built for tubing, water-skiing, or low-key cruising. Slide off the concrete ramp and the world opens to limestone bluffs, exposed river rock, and stands of bald cypress framing quiet coves. Lake Austin is narrower and more residential, with willow-lined shores and winding channels; Lake Travis is vast, with open water, deeper channels, and the Mansfield Dam marking its western edge. For boaters, the contrast is part of the appeal: play in the wide bay on Travis, or hunt for shaded anchorages on Austin. The Sea Ray itself is straightforward and forgiving to pilot for anyone with basic boating experience. Jeramy's Boat Rentals supplies adult life jackets and requires children under 13 to wear one; renters supply appropriately sized jackets for kids. The company holds the commercial permit to operate out of all Travis County Lake Parks, which makes check-in and access predictable even on busy summer weekends. Rates run about $800 for four hours and $1,000 for six, with a small holiday surcharge. Trip logistics are simple: arrive with a tow vehicle and trailer access at Quinlan or Mansfield Dam Park, brief your crew on safety, pick a route and be mindful of marked swim zones. This model isn’t configured for wake surfing, so plan tubing or skiing instead. Avoid glass, and leave pets ashore as per rules. Plan to launch in the morning for cooler temperatures and glassy water; afternoons tend to be windier with more boats. Bring fuel plan and ice: confirm Jeramy's refueling policy before you arrive and stow drinks in a cooler under the seat lockers. Anchor in a shaded cove for lunch, swim from the swim platform, or motor past Mansfield Dam to see the wide lake expanses. For quick questions, call or text Jeramy's Boat Rentals at (737) 277-7708 to confirm permits, park access, and pickup details and weather updates daily. Why book: this rental transforms a day on the lakes into a private water playground—fast enough for skiers, comfortable enough for a sun-soaked social cruise, and compact enough to explore coves larger yachts can’t reach. For visitors staying in Austin, it’s an easy way to escape the city heat and see parts of the hill country shoreline from the water. Jeramy's local permitting and simple check-in make this a reliable choice for families or groups who want an active, self-directed day on two of Texas’s defining reservoirs.
