Party Bus from Austin to Lake Travis
A Lake Travis boat day is one of the best things to do in Austin, until someone has to drive home after a day in the sun. A party bus shuttle takes your group from your rental to the marina and back, cooler and all.
- Pickup at your Airbnb, hotel or home
- Drop-off and pickup at your marina
- Round-trip or stay-with-you options

Round trip or stay with you?
Round-trip shuttle

Lake day tips
- Set the pickup time 30 minutes after your boat return, because boats rarely come back on time.
- Bring towels to sit on after the lake.
- Cans and plastic only; no glass on the bus or the boat.
- Hydrate. Texas summer sun on the water is no joke.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the drive from downtown Austin to Lake Travis?
About 35 to 45 minutes to most marinas, longer on summer weekends.
Does the bus wait while we're on the boat?
Only if you book it to stay. Most groups book a round trip: drop-off, then pickup at a set time.
Can we bring coolers on the bus?
Yes. Bring cans and plastic, not glass, and keep alcohol to guests 21 and over. Texas law allows passengers to have open containers in vehicles used to carry people for pay, such as buses and limousines (Texas Penal Code § 49.031).
