Dog Days on the Lake!

Beat the dog days of summer and bring your dog to chill with Float On Boat Rentals!

At Float On Boat Rentals, we believe no lake day is complete without your best (four-legged) friend. Whether your pup loves to splash in the shallows, feel the breeze in their fur, or just chill on a shaded pontoon seat, they’re always welcome aboard our boats on both Lake Austin and Lake Travis.

Here’s everything you need to know about bringing your dog along for your boat rental adventure with Float On.

🐶 All Paws on Deck: Dogs Are Always Welcome

Float On welcomes dogs of all sizes. We know that for many Austinites (and visitors!), your dog is family—and boating without them just wouldn’t feel right.

Whether you’re cruising with a chill senior pup or an energetic lab who thinks every lake is their personal splash pad, we’ve got the setup to keep everyone comfortable.

Our dog-friendly perks include:
🐾 Stable, spacious pontoons for easy movement and lounging

🐾 Shaded bimini top to keep pups cool on sunny days

🐾 Easy-access swim ladders if your dog likes to take a dip

🐾 Room to roam (or nap!) with cushioned seating and open floor plans

🚤 Safety Tips for Dogs on Boats

We want all of our guests—two-legged and four—to stay safe and happy on the water. Here are a few pro tips for boating with your pup:

Bring a dog life jacket: While it’s not required, it’s highly recommended, especially if your dog is a swimmer or it’s their first boat ride.

Pack a water bowl and treats: The lake can be dehydrating, and your pup deserves snacks, too!

Towels & cleanup bags: Just in case there’s a wet shake or an oops moment.

Check the weather: Dogs are more sensitive to extreme heat, so plan for mornings or evening cruises on hotter days.

🐾 Pups Love the Vibe

Our captains love dogs just as much as you do. In fact, some of our regulars are canine customers who know the route to their favorite swim spots better than we do. Captains are happy to help your pup in and out of the boat and always go the extra mile to make the experience smooth and safe.

And let’s be honest: what’s better than a dog in sunglasses on a boat? Tag us in your photos (@floatonboatrentals) so we can share the cuteness!
