Travis Wake Charters

Lake Travis boat charter prices

Every price on this page includes your captain, fuel, the boat, surf and wake boards, ropes, vests, and a cooler with ice and water. Texas sales tax of 8.25% is shown beside each total. There is no booking fee and no required gratuity. The only things that cost extra are the add-ons listed below, and you pick those yourself.

These are the same figures the booking page charges, read from the same place. Pick a date on the booking page and it prints the exact total for that day.

The price you see is the price.

  • No required tip. It’s appreciated, never added.
  • No booking fee, online or by phone.
  • Fuel, gear, towels, ice and water included.
Same boat, same hourly rate. The only difference is the fees many Austin wake charters add: a 20% required gratuity and a 6% online booking fee. All totals include 8.25% Texas sales tax.

Rates by boat

Priced per boat, not per person. Longer trips cost less per hour, and the rate you land on applies to every hour of the trip. Saturdays are 5% more, shown in their own column. Memorial Day weekend is 12.5% more, 4th of July weekend is 15% more, Labor Day weekend is 10% more; a Saturday that falls on a holiday weekend takes the holiday rate, not both.

What is included

On every boat: the captain, fuel, life vests sized for adults and kids, towels, a cooler with ice and bottled water, and Bluetooth sound. Food and drink is the one thing you bring.

  • Watersports Charter

    Private, all-inclusive charter on the Nautique with a real surf wave. Wakesurf, wakeboard, water ski, kneeboard, tube, or drop the ballast and hang out in a cove, same boat, same captain, your call. Boards, ropes, life jackets, towels, ice, bottled water, fuel, and your captain included.

  • Private Wakesurf Lesson

    Instruction-focused. Experienced wakesurf instructor on the Nautique with a real surf wave. Pick 2-4 hours, 2 hours at $325/hr, 3 at $300/hr, 4 at $280/hr, and the rate you land on applies to every hour. Boards, ropes, and safety gear included.

  • Pontoon Charter

    A captained pontoon charter, your captain runs the boat, you and your guests ride as passengers. More room, more shade and a slower pace: built for large groups, families with little ones, and days spent swimming, cove-hopping and socializing. Not built for wakesurfing or wakeboarding (no surf wave, no boards). If you want to shred, book the Watersports Charter on the Nautique instead.

  • Awake Board Demo Session

    Try the electric Awake board. Two-hour demo session, one flat rate. The session is on our Awake RÄVIK Explore electric jet foil, escorted from the dock, not a boat charter.

Add-ons

A tube and a floating lily pad are free on request, one or the other. Taking both on the same trip is $30. Nothing else costs extra.

Deposit and cancellation

A deposit holds the date and the balance is settled before the trip; where we hold a card, the balance goes to it the day before. Cancel more than 48 hours before your trip for a full refund of everything you have paid; more than 24 hours but 48 or fewer, the deposit is kept and anything above it comes back; 24 hours or fewer, nothing is refunded. If we cancel for unsafe weather, you choose a full refund or a free reschedule.
