Customer Reviews
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.
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.
