Definitely deserve five stars was extremely helpful and caring and allowed us to have an amazing time!I am actually in a wheelchair and knew this was going to be quite the experience also my first time on the water since like eight years but before the day I scheduled I went in person to check it out to make sure everything was going to work with my wheelchair. Everything worked fine I just had to bring my ramps to get on the dock and the dock to the boat. I was also in my power chair and if I was in my manual chair it would be so much easier but still everything was able to work perfectly fine. Thank you so much to the captains and big shout out to them and hosting us!

My daughter rented a party barge for my sisters birthday and to break the monotony of our quarantine. We went on the sunset cruise on Lake Travis. It was just a few friends all over 50s and we had a exceptional time. I would recommend requesting Ella and Mark as your captain and crew as they were very helpful and amusing and the music they provided was perfect for our guests.There were 3 disabled folks on the boat and Ella and Mark were very solicitous toward us helping in so many ways that were not their responsibility. They even helped us get our ice chests and supplies back to our vehicles. I am aware that this is not in their job description but they sensed our need and stepped up although they did not have to help us.We could not have asked for a better crew as they made sure we all were taken care of and it was an amazing experience. We cannot thank them enough for all they did to ensure that we had a great time and stayed safe.We will be back and hopefully we can cruise with our now favorite boat crew.

Michael, Cole, and Kyle were awesome! We went out on a couple of party barges with them and had a great time. They were polite, kept us safe and they laughed at our antics. What more can you ask for. Thanks guys!!

The staff is friendly and they make sure you have everything you need. Dylan (if memory serves), the young man who helped us, made sure we understood everything we needed to know about the boat and the lake. He was over the top nice and even cut up with us. I highly recommend this place.

It was wonderful. Ella and Mark made it a great experience and even helped us carry some of our stuff up to the car at the end of the night. We definitely plan to go again and will ask for Mark and Ella specifically.

Very good service and great explanation of rules and regulations. Love that they give privacy to the ppl on the boat and stay out of the way while still maintaining professional. The boat was clean and slides to. I recommend them to anyone looking to party on the lake !!!!!

Just For Fun is highly recommended. We arrived out of town for a bachelorette weekend and did a party barge for a few hours. We were lucky to have Mark and Dylan on the boat with us. They brought us out to a perfect spot where we got to jump off the top deck and slide down the water slide into the water. The experience was amazing! Mark took care of the grilling for us (which was amazing) and Dylan help us with different things like helping some of the non-swimmers out of the water. Mark took some amazing photos for our group. We were so pleased with every aspect from booking to the end. Mark and Dylan gave us a few different suggestions on places to eat for the other days we were there. When we were ready to go, I spoke to the young lady in the office (I’m sorry I don’t recall her name) and she told us that Mark was her father. That aspect made us feel even better about the time we spent with them. Mark made us feel like family and then we find out he works with his daughter melted our hearts. If we’re in Austin again, we will for sure use Just for Fun!

We rented a pontoon boat (for 8hrs) and a jetski (for 2hrs) on Saturday during Memorial Weekend! It was a blast! The pontoon boat we got was very nice, like new! The jetski was nice too. The staff were very friendly, and helpful even with all the busy madness going on. We got lucky since we originally were only scheduled for 4hrs.. Someone else cancelled so we were able to extend for another 4hrs when we went to return the boat.👌🏼

We rent from Just For Fun every summer. It is so much fun to get a party barge! We invite our entire family and rent to barge for 4 hours. That is a perfect amount of time! We always take food but the barge has a gas grill if you want to use it. We have always had great captains! I like to go on a Sunday around lunch because we always have kids and Sunday is more PG or sometimes PG 13 on the lake. They never disappoint!

Review №24

I hardly ever leave 1 star reviews, but this experience was exceptional. The guy Alec was incredibly rude, made a ton of false promises, and at one point parked in between some rocks for a an hour when he couldve done what he had initially promised which was to go to the island. The grill was also broken and only the right side of it worked, which resulted in us waiting over an hour to eat and only being left with some leftover chicken

First time visiting Lake Travis and renting a Ski Boat from here. We called and changed our reservation twice, to get better weather. Second time we called to change it was a day before we were to go. There were zero problems in asking for a day change, and the staff were extremely polite and helpful. I read through reviews on some other boat rental places that were nearby, and saw some horror stories regarding reservation changes. Just for Fun had no worries for changes! I was relieved!Boat itself was nice, clean and we had a great time. Highly recommended!

I had some friends visiting from out of town and I called well in advance to make a reservation for a ski boat since I wanted to do 6 or 7 hours but you can only book through their website in increments of 4 hours. Staff was very friendly and the reservation process was very smooth. On the day of the rental, the staff was awesome! Very efficient check in process and a thorough boating orientation. They even let us borrow some rope to tie down our enormous floaty that we brought along. They actually tied it down for us!Amazing experience and very reasonable prices!

This place is incredible! Excellent customer service and outgoing, friendly staff. They got us on the water 10 minutes earlier than our start time, so we had more time to enjoy the water! I highly recommend Just For Fun Watercraft Rentals if youre looking for a fun lake experience. Compared to other rental places, their pricing is reasonable.

Really fun. The staff was easy to work with and got us in a boat fast. We ended up in a pontoon boat and it was great for our young family. We had 4 adults and 5 kids with more than enough room. The boat was new and mostly clean. It was getting pretty busy by the time we came back, I recommend going in early and getting a reservation. Life jackets for kids of all ages/sizes

Update: My husband received a call back from Kyle. He indicated their phone/internet system crash, however he made good faith efforts to reach out and rectify the problem. Kyle apologized for our experience and was willing to provide partial credit towards another rental or refund. Kyle was genuine in his response. Based on Kyles response to our concerns we will consider future business with this establishment. For this we give 4 stars as music was our only issue which could have been resolved if timely communication was given.I decided to celebrate my 40th birthday with this company. A MILESTONE birthday. My husband and I visited the property days prior to our party barge rental to ensure adequate accommodations and music for our guests. We spoke with Ella and she ensured us that they would make the necessary arrangements. Even during check-in I reiterated the importance of music. Needless to say our experience was HORRIBLE! Music makes a party and for the entire 3 hours on the boat the music did not play consistently. Our captain was awesome and did what he could but unfortunately it was not enough. We attempted to call and speak with a manager. Kyle indicated he was a manager however it appeared Kyle hung up the phone while my husband was speaking. When my husband did not get a response from Kyle he hung up and called back. No one answered the phone.This establishment appears to be ran by kids or very immature people who are rude and disrespectful. We paid a pretty penny for the rental and it was lack luster. Do not waste your time or money. I will not do busy with the establishment again and I will tell others the same.

I got a Jet Ski here for 2 hours. Great experience overall.The team was very cool and polite. Reservation made easy with a call. Flexibility allowing me to move my reservation to the next available slot (as I knew I wouldnt be there on time. Good value for money as they dont have the latest machines but the price is about 10%-15% lower than other places. Fair insurance cost (less then 10% on top of the hourly rate). Great deal on Tuesdays where you get 1 hour free for every paid hour. Ill come back to this place every time Im looking for a jet ski rental.

Review №56

I made a reservation and had to cancel due to some of the people attending contracting Covid. I cancelled on a Monday for a reservation on Saturday. They would only give me a credit to use until the end of the year (which is only August-December). I asked if there was anyway they could honor the credit for a year because that’s what other boat rental companies were doing and they said they could not do that for a “small boat,” such as a pontoon. They said if I wanted to use that towards a party barge then they would honor it for a year but a party barge is double what I paid for a pontoon. Just disappointed in the customer service given the state of this pandemic and all of the uncertainty that comes with it. If I ever look to book a boat in Austin I will not be using this company. I gave it two stars since they responded to my messages and didn’t just take my money with zero options.

I decided at the last minute to gather the family and go to the lake and it was a great experience because of Mason and Charles! Charles checked us in and went over all the details thoroughly but very friendly, almost like we were family and his contagious smile encouraged us to have a great time out on the water, but be safe. We had a great time! Just for fun is centrally located on the lake so you can drive to the Dam or go across to Devils cove, we also popped into the the restaurant located next to them for lunch, everything was a great experience and the pontoon we rented was very well kept, cleaned and ran great. We had an issue with a ladder, but Manson handled it professionally and with a smile, always with me and my family best interest at heart. I cant say enough good things about Just for Fun and their staff.

I would highly recommend doing business with JFF! They were so kind and understanding when we reached out to them about having to cancel our trip to Austin, all this despite one of the people in our party calling up and being VERY rude to one of their employees. We sincerely apologize for that behavior and are very grateful that you still provided us with a refund! We cant wait to get back out there and do business with JFF again!

Went here for a group summer event. Didn’t experience booking the rental, but did have a great time with friends. You can bring your own food and drinks, and can hook your phone up to the rental speakers to play music. The staff were knowledgeable and chill - basically the kind of people you’d want manning a party barge! Only downside is the bathroom on board isn’t super clean. Other than that, renting from here is a great way to spend a summer afternoon!

Location: On the water and easy to find.Price: Price shopped a few other locations and found this one was the most affordable for what you get. Paid appropriately $210.00 for 2 hours of speed boat, skis, and a water tub. The water tub was free with military ID.Making an appointment is recommended but walk in are welcome.Staff: front desk staff was more then helpful and friendly. The boat instructor was clear communicating safety and boat instructions. The returning instructor seemed to be having a bad day. He splashed and hit two of the kids with the tub and rope and didnt say sorry. Other then that it was a great experience and I would not mind returning.

Literally one of the worst services I have ever encountered. These people will do anything for money. I PAID for two jet skiis and only got one, when I tried to get a refund one of the boys who worked there was rude about it, on top of that they tried to charge me over $100. DONT COME HERE unless youre trying to get ripped off.

Do not rent here! Beware! Very poorly maintained boats and 1 waverunner? This place is a joke! We rented wave runners and a boat here years ago. Evidently all their waverunners are now broken as of July 2020, and the cheap owner refuses to get more for this so-called business! While there another family took a boat out that died 10 minutes later. Talk about mis- managed!! Just saw a dozen people leave because literally nothing to rent here! This place has gone way way downhill! You are losing tons of business!

Ima start by saying bad communication. Ive called several times with questions. Patiently knowing they was busy. I notice on the website it was limited guess per boat. I definitely inquired about that cause I knew I had a large group. I spoke to Emily that confirmed that 50 will be fine on that size boat. (Party Barge) Get to location totally different story. I was told Katilyn left me a message. Not sure why. I never gotten it. I spoke to Katilyn several times the day they state she called me. But thats with me calling in with more questions. Overall I had to rent two boats. Kyle looked out for me. With me losing out on a lot of play time trying to resolve the situation. This was very overwhelming and not worth it. The dock need lights on for those returning when it dark.

The pontoon boat we rented was excellent! It was super clean, had bluetooth connection for music, and plenty of room for three families with 7 small kids. The boat was faster than others we have rented in the area, which made it easier to get to more swim spots.I will also add that the staff was really taxed on the Memorial weekend, but their ability to keep their cool while dealing with the madness was impressive. Many hands make light work, and they have plenty of staff. You can tell why they are more expensive than others, but you get what you pay for.Thanks for a great day on the lake!
