Boat Beautiful’s 5 Steps to Have the Best Lake Day on Lake Travis!

Ready for the best day on Lake Travis? We know how accomplish the best day ever on the lake, because we are true lake people here at Boat Beautiful. Whether you’re a seasoned local or just visiting, follow these 5 easy steps to have the time of your life on Lake Travis!

Step 1: Get on the water! Yes, you need a boat.

Eating next to the lake, taking in the views, or swimming from a dock is one thing—but to truly experience the magic of Lake Travis, you’ve got to get on a boat. Whether it’s a party barge with your friends, a speedboat, or even a rowboat—it doesn’t matter—just get on a boat! Find a friend with one, buy one, rent one, or make it happen however you can, because the experience is totally worth it! Trust us, there’s no better way to enjoy the stunning lake, the sunshine, and that fresh air than cruising along on the water.

Also you don’t want some gross, dirty boat ruining the vibe. A little dirt, grime, or water stains can totally kill the mood. That’s where we come in! With a little TLC from one of our pro boat detailers, we’ll have your boat—or whoever’s boat it is—looking fresh, spotless, and ready to shine.

Step 2: You’re On the Boat—Now It’s Time for Some Local Grub!

Alright, you’re on the boat and off to a great start, but hold up—you gotta have food ready now your out on the lake! There’s no better way to keep you and your crew vibing than with some local grub and refreshing drinks. These are the lake day food essentials:

• Chips and Salsa or Queso—The ultimate snack to munch on while cruising.
• BBQ Sandwiches from Rudy’s—Get that smoky goodness in your belly.
• Jalapeño Sausages wrapped in buttery tortillas with some hot sauce—This one’s a game-changer.

Listen, if you’re not rocking some killer food on the boat, the vibe is gonna go down faster than the Titanic. Don’t forget the drinks! If you’re 21+, local beer like Shiner Bock or a canned cocktail like Ranch Water will do. If you’re younger or drinking isn’t your thing, a classic Dr Pepper or Topo Chico always hits the spot.

Now, you’ve got the grub—but let’s be real, all that good food on the boat is probably going to make a bit of a mess. No worries though—maybe give us a call after your adventure or hop online to boatbeautiful.com to schedule a detail. We’ll take care of that mess, so your boat stays looking fresh for the next round of fun!

Step 3: Crank Up The Tunes!

You’ve got the boat, the grub, and the crew—now crank up that stereo! Skip the engine noise and blast some classics like George Strait, Stevie Ray Vaughan or put on some throwback jams! Cruising along Lake Travis with good tunes? Now that’s Lake Travis-ing!

But here’s a little secret—spiders love to hide in the speaker cans. These eight-legged intruders are true pests, they make the boat their home if the boat hasn’t been used in a while. Best to schedule a detail before you hit the water, and we’ll take care of those dreaded boat spiders. Keep the vibes smooth and the boat bug-free!

Step 4: Wake Surfing or Get Pulled on an Inflatable Raft!

Wake surfing has exploded in popularity lately! We’ve traded the thrill of speed and sailing for something a little slower but way more exciting—riding the waves. It’s all about carving behind the boat, feeling the rush, and staying balanced while you catch that perfect wave. Not into surfing? No problem! Grab an inflatable raft and get towed around for some wild fun. Either way, you’re in for a blast.
