Booking & planning

Weekends during peak season (May–September) often sell out weeks in advance, especially for double-decker party boats. If you have a specific date in mind, we recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred boat and time slot.

A casual rain shower does not impact boat rentals and we will still operate as scheduled. In the case of severe weather (lightning, high winds, or unsafe conditions), Keep Austin Wet may delay or reschedule the rental for safety reasons.

We offer set time slots throughout the day to allow multiple groups to enjoy the lake. For the most flexibility, you may also book a full-day rental.

Most rentals are booked in 4-hour blocks, though longer rentals are available depending on availability.

Good news–if your boat isn’t booked after your charter, you can often extend your time on the water for an additional hourly rate. Just let your captain know!

I planned bachelorettes in Nashville and Scottsdale before. Austin on the lake blew both away. Keep Austin Wet made it so easy.

We had 22 girls on the double decker and it was perfect. The water slides, the views, the music — I'm already trying to plan another excuse to go back.
