Emerald Point Marina

If our lake wasn't so gorgeous, JFF would not be worth it. We set out on an 8 hour stint...and found our ladder didn't work. We had older people who then couldn't get in the water because they wouldn't be able to get out. Most of the little guys who work at JFF are arrogant and pretty rude. Even with a busted fuel gage (which showed full but was actually empty) and a busted ladder, we received no discount, no apology, and frankly, Scarlett, no one who gave a darn. It is a shame seeing businesses, managers, and employees like this in the Austin community; fortunately, there aren't many. We rent a boat once a year--maybe not a splurge for some, but yet a splurge for us--and we don't get what we pay for (working ladder, working fuel gage, respect and courtesy). Just for Fun was such a bummer. more

This is such a fun place to rent boats, waverunners, ski boats, and houseboats. The best part is that there are no surprises with their rental rates. All prices include gas!! The party barges are excellent for bridal parties, office parties and just to have fun with friends and family members. They usually have some kind of special, so that helps with the expense. The lake is beautiful, and it is nice to actually be able to get on the lake without having to purchase and store your own watercraft. more
