Skipper-Free Sunsets: A 13-Passenger Pontoon Day on Lake Travis
Rent a 13-passenger pontoon on Lake Travis—provided with an empty YETI cooler (BYOB), gas, an 18-foot Lilypad, Bluetooth sound system and life jackets—this guide explains what’s included and how to plan your day.
Skipper-Free Sunsets: A 13-Passenger Pontoon Day on Lake Travis.
The 13-passenger pontoon from Float On is built for a crew: roomy enough for a full group, rigged with sound and flotation, and tuned for a day of swimming, cruising to lakeside restaurants, or holding position as the sun slides behind the hills. It is offered without a captain, and the outfitting—an empty YETI cooler (BYOB), gas, an 18-foot Lilypad, Bluetooth sound system and life jackets—means most of your day is ready when you push off.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Everything you need, brought to the dock
The boat comes stocked with an empty YETI cooler (not filled), fuel for the day, a Bluetooth sound system and life jackets—plus an 18-foot Lilypad sized to hold your whole crew, so you don’t need to bring flotation gear.
Swimming, restaurants and party cove
Whether you’re anchoring for a swim, cruising over to a lakeside restaurant or tying up among other boats in party cove at sunset, the pontoon is set up for social, slow-paced days on Lake Travis.
A social boat sized for a crew
At a 13-passenger capacity the pontoon is intended to carry a full group for swimming or a sunset cruise—large enough for a party without needing multiple boats.
What the day feels like
How the day unfolds
You push off aboard a 13-passenger pontoon and spend the day moving at lake pace: anchoring to swim and float on the Lilypad, running into the nearest restaurant for dockside dining, or dropping anchor to join other boats in party cove as the day cools and the light fades. The provided cooler, fuel and onboard amenities mean less time worrying about logistics and more time with the crew.
