Whether you’re a local like me or just visiting and you’re looking for a boat rental company that’s truly ahead of the game, Big Tex Boat Rentals is it!! Their fleet is basically a one-stop shop, with options for every type of lake day from relaxing cruises to full on party boats. The booking process is incredibly easy through FareHarbor, and the waiver system takes just minutes to complete. One of the coolest features is their FotoFlow app. Your captain takes photos throughout the trip, and they’re automatically shared with everyone in your group while you’re still on the water. It adds a fun, interactive touch and helps capture memories without anyone having to worry about taking pictures themselves. What really sets Big Tex apart, though, is their captains. Every captain I’ve had has been professional, personable, and genuinely focused on making sure everyone has a great time. They know how to create a fun atmosphere while still making safety a priority. Tipping was an easy decision because of how hard they work and how much effort they put into the experience. From the easy booking process to the top-notch boats, great sound systems, and outstanding captains, Big Tex makes you feel completely taken care of from start to finish. It honestly felt like spending the day with friends who know exactly how to show you a great time on the water. Highly recommend.

Rented a boat from Big Tex Boat Rentals recently and had a great experience. The whole process was straightforward, from booking to getting out on the water. The boat was clean, ran well, and was ready when we arrived. The staff was friendly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable before heading out. We spent the day on the lake without any issues and had a blast. I’d definitely rent from them again and would recommend them to anyone looking for an easy, hassle-free boat rental experience.
