Why rent from an owner?
Marina rentals start at $150/hour and up. You're on their schedule, their boat, their rules. TOPJIB connects you with boat owners who set their own prices and availability. More flexibility, often better boats, and you're supporting a local Austin boat owner.
What to expect
- Pricing - Owners set their own rates. Expect $75-$200/hour depending on boat size and type.
- Duration - Half-day and full-day rentals are common. Some owners offer hourly.
- Captain - Many owners captain the boat themselves. Some allow experienced renters to drive.
- Where - Lake Travis is most popular, but also Lake Austin, Canyon Lake, and Lake LBJ.
