THE BOAT

The 2025 Malibu 25 LSV

A brand-new, high-end wake boat that pairs industry-leading ballast and surf technology with spacious, luxury accommodations—built for comfort and big, customizable wakes when configured for watersports, though this Party Cove charter is for cruising only.

THE AMENITIES

Captain-Led Charters with Premium Sound and a Large Cooler

Each rental is led by an experienced captain and comes complete with fuel, a large cooler and premium sound systems—set up to deliver a social, comfortable day on the water.

THE LIMITS

Party Cove Focus—No Watersports on This Charter

This specific Party Cove charter is strictly for cruising and visiting the lake; no water sport equipment is available on Party Cove charters and watersports require a separate watersports charter and surcharge.

What the day feels like

What the Day Feels Like

Expect a relaxed, social cruise: a captain takes the helm, the Malibu’s sound system fills the cabin, a generous cooler keeps provisions cold, and the boat’s luxury finishings make for an effortless day of cruising Lake Austin and anchoring in Party Cove—without any watersports activity included on this charter.
