Commonly Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What comes with the boat rental?
Each boat comes with an experienced captain, gas, a premium Bluetooth sound system, a large floating mat, floaties, safety devices, a large cooler filled with ice, and more!
Where is the pick up location?
We are a commercially insured charter business with limited pick-up locations due to lake regulations. For Lake Travis, pick-ups are at Mansfield Dam Park or Paradise Cove Marina ($5 per person entry, $20 per vehicle for up to 4 passengers, $5 for each extra person). For Lake Austin, pick-ups are at Loop 360 Boat Ramp ($5 cash per person). If you have a private dock or are staying on the lake, we may arrange a pick-up with prior notice.
Why is there a 6% charge for online bookings?
How much should I tip my captain?
A 20% gratuity (or captain fee) is required and must be paid directly to the captain by the end of your boat charter. Payment options include cash, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp. If you did not prepay the gratuity during your reservation, please ensure it is settled at the end of the charter.
Do you need a boating license? Can I drive the boat? Are the boat captains experienced?
Do you allow pets on the boat?
Can I bring some festive decorations for my boat trip?
Just a heads-up: While we love a little sparkle, glitter can be messy and stick around long after the party’s over. So, we kindly ask that you leave the glitter at home for the sake of keeping our boats looking their best!
What should I bring on the boat?
What should I "NOT" bring on the boat?

Can we bring alcoholic drinks?
Where can I park my car for my Lake Travis adventure?
Our other option is Mansfield Dam. This is a cash-only location with a $5 per person entrance fee to the park itself. Keep in mind that we only have one boat picking up from Mansfield Dam at this time, so be sure to confirm your pick-up spot when you book your unforgettable Big Tex experience!
Do I need to bring a cooler?
No, we provide a large yeti cooler filled with ice for your drinks free of charge.
Do we need to pay for gas?
Gas is included in the hourly rate. If we are bringing the boat to a different lake other than Lake Austin or Lake Travis there will be a small fee.
What is Big Tex doing for COVID-19 precautions?
What is the cancellation policy?
