On Lake Travis, Float On’s 13-passenger luxury pontoons offer a measured sort of leisure: wide decks for spreading out, a Lilypad for floating, an empty YETI cooler for your drinks, and a Bluetooth sound system to set the tempo. With a friendly local captain aboard, these boats are tuned for swimming, cruising to lakeside restaurants, or pausing for sunset and the easy sociality of party cove.

THE CREW

Local captains who run the day

Each charter includes a Float On captain, allowing your group to relax while a familiar local handles navigation, docking, and the best spots on Lake Travis.

ONBOARD KIT

Comforts that make a day on the water effortless

Boats come equipped with an empty YETI cooler for your drinks, a spacious Lilypad for lounging or swimming, and a Bluetooth sound system to set the mood for the group.

THE PROGRAM

Swim, dine, or anchor up in party cove

The pontoons are sized and outfitted for a mix of swimming, cruising to a restaurant, sunset watching, or tying up with other boats in party cove to socialize.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The outing unfolds as a deliberate, social day on the water: the captain pilots the pontoon to swim stops and shoreline restaurants while the crew lounges on deck or drifts on the Lilypad; when the light softens, groups commonly pull alongside other boats in party cove or drift to watch the sunset.
