Est. Austin, TX

Boats, done the Lake Austin way.

Lake Mates began the way most good Texan things do — with a truck, a trailer, and a stack of favors owed. Five seasons later we run a small, senior team of USCG-licensed captains and detailers taking care of Lake Austin's private fleets: from Emma Long to the Pennybacker Bridge.

Lake Austin at golden hour

01

Local first

Every captain lives within twenty minutes of the water. We know the winds, the wake regs, and the neighbors.

02

Quiet by design

Our best work happens before you notice — fuel topped, seats wiped, batteries turned. You just step aboard.

03

Small on purpose

We take on a limited roster of members and drop-in guests so the same captain remembers your dog's name.
