What a cool experience! Boarding was super easy and the boat was really cool! They even gave us umbrellas to take out on the boat since it was a little warm. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to show folks around the city from the water.

We had a really nice time on Bessie! It has a canopy, so we were in the shade. There were 8 of us and we were very comfortable on a warm Saturday morning. If you head east, it’s very quiet and not much other boat traffic.

Retro Boats ATX offers such a unique and fun way to experience Austin. The boats are stunning, easy to operate, and comfortably seat up to four people. The entire experience was fantastic, and the customer service truly stands out—they take the time to walk you through the process and even provide a map of the area. I also appreciated the added peace of mind knowing they can track the boats for everyone’s safety. I’ll definitely be booking again, especially to try the night boat ride!

Celebrated my wife’s birthday. Skylar was awesome and she was said nice. I didn’t get the gentleman’s name with her but thanks to both of you my wife had a blast and it was a great time. Will definitely recommend it.

I highly recommend ATX Retro Boat Rentals! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, relaxing, and one of a kind. The peacefulness of the water paired with the retro vibes of the boat made for the perfect outing. The ambience was top-tier — calm, scenic, and just the escape we needed. Whether you’re looking for a chill day on the water or a fun date idea, this is definitely the move. Can’t wait to come back!
