Things you need to know before you go!

Please get the proper boat for the occasion as too many people are hiring the wrong boat trying to save a few dollars or expect it to be something it is not. What are you really getting for your money? First figure out how many guests you plan on inviting and approximate weight, this will determine how big of a boat you need. Decide on a budget, plan for food, drinks, ice, music, etc., maybe a theme for the party. Be realistic...if a 40' party barge only has a single 60-Hp or 90-Hp engine and square blocks for floatation, don't be surprised or get mad that it is slow (even when empty), IT IS A FLOATING DOCK and not designed to go anywhere fast. If a boat is maxed out or overloaded with more people OR MORE WEIGHT than recommended, this is dangerously unsafe, uncomfortable and makes for a bad experience. Don't Be The Pain In The Boat! Most companies are trying to make an honest living with a large investment and liability. Being drunk and disorderly, trashing the equipment out or not knowing Boating Laws ruins it for everyone. Chartered boats will discontinue rental for unruly behavior and you lose your money.

Large Party Boats come in different sizes and styles in the Dallas, Fort Worth, DFW, Texas Area: Motor Boats, Sail Boats and Barges, rated for 20, 50 or 100+ passengers. Hulls are single hull (mono-hull) or multi-hulls (Catamarans). Catamarans are the most stable with tri-hulls (three hulls) the best. Barges in this area use square dock flotation to float the craft, making it very slow, causing it to be restricted to one area, or spending all your time just getting somewhere. Individuals or businesses with a 30' boat or larger for hire with a driver have legal requirements--min. $300,000 in liability insurance, boat must be inspected every year by TWPD, a COMMERCIAL PARTY BOAT OPERATOR'S LICENSE or Captain License by one of the crew, all crew must have the boater's safety certificate, 1 crewman per 25 passengers, life vests for all passengers and crew plus safety equipment.

Choosing Between Party Boat or a Party Barge?

Party Boats are Safe, Catamarans being the safest and most stable and can go out on windy days, more upscale, classy, have more amenities and can Cruise around the lake more quickly with Single or Twin Engines, Sail or a combination of Sail w/engine. Clean toilets, nice flooring & built-in seats with party lights for night-time cruising. Dallas has an average of 11 miles per hour of wind each day, making motor or sail catamarans the best choice, safest and least likely to cancel your trip. Do you want to look good, cruise around the lake in a safe and stable boat or maybe you want to cruise to the party cove to swim and not spend all you time getting there, then this is the boat for you.

Party Barges, these are basically homemade, a very slow-moving floating dock and in this area a single 60 or 90Hp engine--very basic and not as impressive but it floats, Be realistic if a 40' party barge only has a single 60 or 90Hp engine, square blocks for floatation and 30 - 50 people onboard don't be surprised or get mad that it is slow, it is a floating dock and not designed to go anywhere. these barges are usually found a short distance from their dock or a lot of time is spent just getting somewhere. Seating is on plastic chairs that can break or tip over. Water can lap over the floatation, getting people wet. Some have a double decks and allow people to jump off the top, think about it with all the trees in the lake and you cannot see below the surface? How deep is the water? Don't care all you want to do is go a short distance off shore and swim, rough house and do not expect to cruise around or need anything fancy, this will work.

The very large house boats/barge are flat bottom boats or a barge and they are restricted, these barges cannot go out on windy days(15+mph), they are very hard to control, often cancelling your trip.

There is a boat for everyone or every event, the choice is yours:

Don't care all you want to do is go a short distance off shore and swim, rough house and do not expect to cruise around or need anything fancy or

do you want to look good, nice, safe, clean and cruise around.

Either Way Enjoy and Be Safe on Our Lakes.

Know the company before you go:

Does the marina know they are doing business? Call the marina office.

Do they have commercial Insurance, license, current inspection, pays sales tax?

While some businesses are trying to make a living, obeying laws and paying commissions while some are just making slip rental payments or beer money. Texas Game Wardens patrol the lake and give fines for infractions and you may lose your rental time if the people or craft do not have all required license and equipment.

For those smaller groups - Pontoon Boats, Ski Boats, Jet Skis Rentals

When renting a Pontoon Boat a few things you need to know! Questions you need to ask:

First figure out how many guests you plan on inviting, this will determine how big of a boat you need. Is your group 1, 10, 15, 20 passengers or more? Pontoon boats come in many sizes and are rated for a specific number of people with so much weight. Some rental companies rent you the boat with you as driver and some provide their own driver. Drivers can be included in the price (works on tips) and other charge per hour. Some rental companies furnish gas at no additional charge and some you have to purchase fuel at their marina (Note: 3 to 5+ gal gas per hr. is avg) (how much per gallon?). Some rental companies charge you a clean-up fee or a fee if they find glass bottles. What are you really getting for your money? Most recreational pontoon boats have round pontoons and are not recommended for large groups or commercial use. Commercial grade pontoon boats will have a high weight capacity plate, this will give your group a smoother and safer ride. Most recreational pontoon boats are rated for 12 or less people with 1800 lbs MAX. USCG-regulated average weight is now 185 lbs. per person. Example: if a boat is rated for 19 persons or 2800 lbs., you would all have to average under 148 lbs. and that does NOT includes ice chest, food, gear, etc. or if there are 12 people at an average of 200 lbs. or 2400 lbs., now add the ice chest (s), food, gear and the driver, so how much does everyone and everything weigh? That 19-person boat just turned into a 12-passenger boat. Now compare a pontoon boat with a weight capacity plate of at least 4000 lbs. or more! Experienced boat drivers know their weight capacity as wind and waves play a large role in the safety, ride and handling of the boat. Remember If the boat is maxed out or overloaded with more people OR MORE WEIGHT than recommended, this is dangerously unsafe, uncomfortable and makes for a bad experience. Please get the proper boat for your guests as too many are hiring the wrong boat to save a few dollars.

For weight of your food and drinks, think about this:

16 oz. = 1 lb. or 1 case of 12 oz. cans = almost 20 lbs., 4 cases of drinks with ice and food weigh about 100 lbs. There are also different engine sizes, different horsepower. Remember that loaded weight and engine size/hp has everything to do with boat speed.
