Boat rental prices in Austin can fluctuate significantly based on several factors, including the rental duration, the selected date, whether you opt for a self-guided or captained experience, and the boat size.

For instance, if you’re interested in renting a pontoon party boat with a captain, you can expect rates to start at around $125 per hour and go up to $275 per hour. It’s important to note that many rental providers require a minimum rental duration, typically 3 to 4 hours. Discounts are often applied for rentals that exceed the minimum hourly requirement, providing an incentive for longer, more leisurely outings on Austin’s beautiful waters.

Remember that these prices can vary between rental companies and may also be influenced by seasonal demand and availability. To get the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information, browse our Austin Boat rental partners.
