We are so pleased after spending a large portion of last Sunday with Captain Dustin on one of his party boats. We had small kids who instantly took to him. My older daughter was initially really scarred of the waves and he took it slow until she gained some confidence and was enjoying the waves along with the other kids. He knew just the spot to take us - some quite backwaters to let us all snorkel about in clear fish-filled waters. Everyone was thrilled when the fish came to surround us and eat out of our hands. Dustin was by far the best boat operator/guide/captain compared to the many other's I've experienced over the years. I highly recommend 3 Amigos, especially if you have kids. Bring your snorkel and mask and ask him to take you to see the fish.

3 Amigos Boat Rental was by far the best boat rental that we have rented on Lake Travis! All captains are helpful and ready to assist you. They gracefully help you load and unload from their boats. Our boat captain was Lawrence and he was professional and very aware of everything that was going on. He made my family, and I feel safe throughout our entire boat trip. We had an AMAZING time, and we are looking forward to booking with them again!

3 Amigos was great! The owner was waiting for us with his new pontoon and was courteous and prompt. He explained the workings of the boat, which included plenty of noodles, a lily pad, and plenty of life jackets. It was a new pontoon and in immaculate condition, very clean. The location is very straightforward and easy to get to. I would highly recommend using 3 Amigos for you boat renting service.

I was in Austin for my brother's bachelor party and decided to use 3 Amigos for a boat rental to have a day on the lake. Everything was going well until about halfway through our 4 hour rental (1-5pm) when we asked the driver of the boat if we could move to experience a different part of the lake. He went to start the boat, but the battery was dead. The driver attempted to fix the battery himself for a while before calling another one of the 3 Amigos boats that was on the lake that same day. It took about an hour and 40 minutes in total from the time we discovered the battery was dead to the time the other boat arrived and jumped our battery. At that time (4:40pm), the driver said we now had to leave and head back to the dock because it would take that much time to get us back to shore. So we spent several hundred dollars to go out on the lake and sit in the same place for our entire session.
When I reached our to 3 Amigos after to explain what had happened and ask for some sort of refund, they told me we were only stuck in the same place for an hour and therefore they wouldn't give us a refund. Our only offer was for a free hour the next time we use them as a rental service....which is worthless to us as none of us live in Austin. I understand these sort of mechanical issues are going to happen, but their response to it was a complete joke. I would highly recommend you avoid using them as to not have this same situation happen to you in the future. There are plenty of other boat rental options on the lake.

Our boat stalled due to mechanical errors the first few mins of our trip, then it took them 20-30mins to tow us with another boat to some random place in the lake (very secluded and literally next to the shore) where we got to “enjoy our time”. We were there for my sister’s 30th birthday and wanted to be in the cove with other boats to make it fun and lively, but instead we got some quiet time in a random place. Our time was cut short and we were offered no compensation back for it. I emailed the company asking to speak to the owner but was dismissed saying mechanical errors happen. I’ve tried to have my cc company reach out to them and they’ve gotten no response. So we ended up paying the full amount for a very disappointing experience.

Boat was very nice, our captain, the owner, Dustin was excellent. Very friendly made sure all the children had life jackets and even offered us extra ice for out coolers. He put the lily pads out as soon as we anchored and quickly and efficiently rolled them up by himself. It was an excellent afternoon. We'll definitely use them again.

Hands down the best boat rental on Lake Travis and not far at all if you're staying in the Lago vista area. Price was reasonable considering my family and I booked last minute (the day of) we were happy to even get a pontoon a couple of hours before on a beautiful Saturday!
Our captain Dustin was the most chill and awesome captain. We were iffy at first because we just wanted to have a good time with no captain but he was so laid back and very accommodating he made it all worth it. Because of him this is the only boat rental we would ever want to return to!
We got the Pontoon that was able to fit our whole family (10 adults and 2 kids) plus the captain. There was plenty of room for all of us. There was an option to have their cooler on the boat, but we had our own so we opted out. The Pontoon had a lilly pad and noodles which was free of charge for you to enjoy.
Getting to the dock is a little confusing. Just look for the 3 flags and drive down to park. There is no check-in office. Your captain should be waiting for you with your boat.
This is probably the prime spot for a boat rental and I can't wait to go back to rent from here! Thank you for everything 3 Amigos!

I would have rated higher had it not been for the service when returning boat from a four hour rental. No one was on site to assist with returning boat. We waited for 30 minutes, then resorted to dock boat ourselves. While that does not sound like a big deal, you should know the dock area was a “makeshift” dock, meaning all the boats in their fleet were simply tied together. Not exactly a good sign of a well run operation. Lastly, the physical layout (and cleanliness) of the support facilities looked like a junk yard. Their website gives a much difference impression than the reality.

What makes or breaks these boat rentals is the crew. 3 Amigos knocks it out of the park. Booked for a Bachelor party of mid 20s and had an absolute blast. Ended up having to make changes to # of people and timing and Tayler was super accommodating and friendly with making the updates. Dustin was a top notch captain. Strongly recommend. Thanks!!

Rented with 3 Amigos for my friend's bachelor party and it was great! Easy group to work with, great online booking system, competitive price, and our captain was awesome. I'm a local to Austin and this is one of the best boat rental companies I've work with. Will definitely use again!
