We have been members for 7 years and have loved being a part of the club. The boats are in fantastic condition, the toys are an added bonus, and the staff is extremely helpful. This is the solution to NOT owning a boat due to the added convenience of taking out many different kinds of boats. Now that I a family, my kids look forward to going to the lake all the time!

We have been members of the Austin NBC for 15 wonderful years. We wanted to take our daughters and their families, who live in Houston, out on Lake Conroe using a boat from the Montgomery NBC. The Austin NBC contacted the Montgomery NBC and made all of the arrangements. Thank you Kathy for making this experience so easy. I would also like to thank the Montgomery folks for all their generosity and the same excellent level of service that we have received for 15 years in Austin. I felt like I was right at home. The boat was clean and ran perfectly. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable - they provided us a map and showed us where to go on the lake. This is just another advantage of being a member of the Nautical Boat Club family.

Signed up yesterday and I could not get these guys to take my money fast enough. Beautiful brand new equipment, knowledgable and friendly staff, and an overall seamless low pressure sales experience.This is the first review I have ever written because frankly I am not easy to please. However, these guys just impresses the heck out of me.Thank you to Jeff & Team!!!

No idea how this place is making it, but good for them! Called up to schedule a tour and the lady on the phone asked some general questions. What our interested was etc.. I informed her I wanted to wakesurf. She told me the level of membership it would be and all was great! Day of tour I’m thinking this must be awesome with the reviews. Parking is a long walk down especially if you’re lugging things, that was a bummer.Once on the tour we were informed we would be unsatisfied in the membership based on our interest of wakesurfing even though it’s being advertised. The lady on the phone failed to tell me that before taking off work and wasting my time and theirs. This is a boat club advertising 97% available to any random boat. I got the vibe you’ll rarely ever get one you actually want according to the manager. I had high hopes for this place, total let down and definitely not a 5 star experience what so ever.

Very nice weekend whit my family enjoy everything this club.thanks everybody

We have been members of the Nautical Boat Club for a couple of years and were about to renew our membership again. We LOVE the boat club. Our only complaint is that we dont get to go out on the water every day! ;) The office team is awesome and always willing to help with any questions we have. The team at the docks is always helpful, prompt, and cheerful. We love inviting friends to join us on the water, and the boats are top notch and always immaculate. Very cool perk we took advantage of this year was the 4th of July members fireworks event. Truly awesome and if youre like us and debating buying a boat or joining the boat club... hands down I suggest joining the Nautical Boat Club... it really does take all the hassle out of the experience leaving just the fun!

Nautical Boat Club Rocks! All of these guys are awesome to work with! Super friendly and helpful. Low pressure with expectations met! The boats are top notch as well as the service. Always super helpful and the boat is ready to go when you get there. We searched the competition and They are the boat club you want to do business with!

My husband and I joined the Nautical Boat Club in July and we could not be happier with our decision! We went from only being able to sit inside during the hot summer days to being out on the lake several days a week. We love Texas summers now! The hospitality and professionalism is also on the next level. We have always been met with smiles and the staff has been extremely accommodating, even when we have had to make changes. We hope to be members for years to come!

We loved being a member so much last year that we signed up for our second year. The staff is always friendly and helpful, the boats are always clean. We love every moment we are out on the lake. The kids look forward to it as our weekend ritual. I love that we can just show up, load up and go enjoy without the hassles of having to own a boat. Highly recommend.

We have officially been members of the boat club for a year now, and I can say it was the best decision we ever made. We took the boat out every weekend we were in town (and the weather was nice enough). It was completely worth it, for us and our friends. The boat club guys, the girls who help with the gas and the boys at the dock provide excellent service. They are always there to help out, especially for a novice boater like myself. Its been great to spend every hot Saturday on the lake!

After over a year of being a member I can absolutely say this is one of the best decisions we have ever made as a family. We have become hooked on the ease of the process and the quality of the entire operation. We have yet to have an issue and anytime we have questions the employees make you feel like a million bucks. I can’t recommend this place enough

I joined Volente Boat Club at the beginning of this year and from the start I was impressed with the professionalism of the staff. Jeff, Brian, Alec and Kathy in the office are all responsive, knowledgeable and willing to help with whatever they can.The club itself has a great family atmosphere. The boats are some of the best on the lake, and are extremely well taken care of. I never have received a dirty or broken boat during my reservation.This club is seriously usable YEAR ROUND. We spent 6 out of 8 weekends in January and February on the lake. I cant speak highly enough of Volente Boat Club!

NBC makes the benefits of not owning your own boat even better. We have owned several boats over the years and never again! We are on our second year of boating with NBC and couldnt be more excited about getting the summer started. The staff is AMAZING, the boats are GREAT, and they know how to make summer FUN!

Weve a great experience as members here! The Team at Volente always does a great job of getting us on the water, they are flexible with schedule changes and do a great job with customer service!

The GF and I loved being a members so much . The staff, and Jeff the GM is always super friendly and helpful, the boats are always super clean. We love every moment we are out on the lake. My only wish is that they can expand the fleet of boats to a greater number as this place gets pretty busy during summer / spring. Thanks so much NBC !

I cannot say enough. This is simply the best way to get on the lake. I have owned boats in the past. This is by far a better experience. Recently, we went to our scheduled boating appointment. The boat that they had selected for us had a problem with one of the seats. I pointed this out to the dock crew. They not only switched us to another boat, they payed the gas for our outing. 5-star service!

Wish we would have joined sooner! Great staff, everyone is very helpful and professional. Always a clean boat! If you are thinking about buying a boat, Don’t! This is def the way to go! No hassles just fun!!

Were in our third year of membership, and its been a fantastic experience. I had 2 concerns going in. 1) Lake levels, and 2) Availability of boats in a club like this. Ive been pleased on both counts. Regarding lake levels, being in a boat club makes lake levels a very minor issue. Because the boats are already in the water, you dont have to worry about the level dropping below the boat ramps. When the levels get low, it just means that the lake will not be as crowded, which is great. Regarding availability of boats, in our 2+ years, I think weve had only 2 times where we werent able to get a boat, and its because I didnt plan ahead. We boat 2 or 3 times per month, and almost always get our first choice of request. We love having the options of different kinds of boats. With young kids, we often get one of the large pontoon boats, but other times we get a ski boat or sail boat. Having those options wouldnt be available if we owned our own. Cant say enough about it. Its been a great experience!

I have been a member for almost 10 years. Took a break for a few years in there, but am back. Great experience. The boats are all in like new shape and well maintained. The staff is exceptional. Greeted by name, everything is always ready with requested equipment (wakeboard, tube etc) on board. Very professional and courteous folks.So much better than owning a boat with all the associated headaches. Very highly recommend!

I joined this summer and cant say enough about these guys. Staff is fantastic, even the new dock hands (super willing and eager to help). Boats are amazing, seems like these guys have a new boat every time I come out. Thought about buying a boat, glad I didnt. Keep up the great work guys.

Ive been a member for almost one year and have not regretted this decision one bit. The boats, personnel, level of professionalism, scheduling system are all 1st class! 99% of the time I get the exact boat I want and its always ready to go before I arrive.Alex, Peyton, Blake, Doug, Nick, along with the rest of the staff, run an extremely competent organization. The boats are in fantastic shape and well maintained. New boats added each year. Nearly all are less than 3 years old.VIP Marina is also 1st rate. Excellent product selection. Clean. Friendly owner and staff. Great tee shirts too!!!I checked out all boat clubs in the Austin area. Volente Boat Club is light years ahead of the rest!!!

I started off doing boat rentals and for a long time considered that the most convenient way to boat. However, as I very quickly learned, the price of renting once or twice a month was far greater than the price of even the most inclusive boat club. That alone convinced me to look into Volente Boat Club for a better and more affordable experience. After the initial tour, I realized that not only was Volente Boat Club a more affordable option, but their selection and quality of boats did not compare to the rental boats. They have brand new, top of the line boats that are replaced every year and are always looking and running in perfect condition. They also offer a huge array of wake boards, skis, tubes and anything you may possibly need during your outing. The boats are always prepared ahead of time and ready to go at your designated time so you dont have to waste time. The only thing better than the boats at Volente Boat Club is the customer service. Theyre always there willing to help make your experience better. Theres no better way to enjoy Lake Travis!

Love Love Volente Boat Club! We have been with the club for almost a year and have been able to secure the reservation we wanted each time. The boats are well maintained and the staff have always gone out of their way to be extremely helpful. The club treats you as a family member and always makes it a point to ensure you have a pleasant boating experience. Highly recommend this fun adventure!Sasha McDonald

It is great ! When you arrive everything is clean, fueled and ready to go. I like the idea of not worrying about maintenance, cleaning, repairs, etc that owning your own boat would include. Consider with a personal boat if you have a mechanical issue your day is likely to be a bust and your guests are put out. With the club you are very likely to just get another available boat and continue with your fun that day. The only problem so far was that I was so excited when I got on the boat the second time I forgot to put on enough sun screen, watch that Texas sun. My thought is if you buy a boat you have to determine what type of boat you want. With the club you decide based on what you feel like that particular outing. Your not stuck with a choice. Everyone of the staff members are super nice and helpful. Also with membership you get free parking. I love the sailboat! Keith B.

This place is amazing. The service is beyond white glove and I feel like a king when I arrive. The boats are basically all brand new, the classes the teach you on using these boats is top notch (you feel like a pro after the first class). I have also never had a problem getting a boat. I cannot say enough about the service, they hold your hand through every step that you need, setting up the boat for you, helping you park and even gas up. I wish I had this level of service everywhere I went. I would not even consider going to a club other than Volente Boat Club.

The absolute best location and best staff on Lake Travis! The team at Nautical Boat Club are professional and are very easy to deal with when making appts and or requests. Dont buy a boat...join Nautical Boat Club and make it easy on yourself and your family!

After deciding to join a boat club, I did my research. I decided that this was the best choice from the research alone. After meeting with the staff for the tour of the club and boats, I was very excited; yet skeptical about hidden costs and fees. I got a buddy and we joined the club together. Weve been members now for 3 weeks and have been out 4 times. I am 100% satisfied! To my relief, everything actually is just as advertised. No hidden costs or fees. Everything is very transparent, upfront, and honest. We go out every Friday now and absolutely have a blast. The dock hands are very friendly and helpful and the office staff are extremely accommodating! This is the best decision Ive made in a long time!

While I don’t have a membership to this boat club myself, I know some friends that are members that love it. I have frequently come to Lake Travis and Volente Boat Club is by far the most superb in customer service, quality, and efficiency. The way they maintain the boats and keep them clean and working is above others. They have some of the newest models that you can rent and are of far better quality than other marinas. For fun or for sport, Volente Boat Club in Lake Travis, Austin is always going to be my number 1 choice. The owners and staff really care about this business and their clients.

On the recommendation of a good friend we took our annual play money and went for it. What a fabulous decision. Volente has proven simply amazing. There are a great variety of boats that suits each different outing. The convenience of jumping on a terrific boat that somebody else maintains, as well as the hug selection of water toys, is fantastic. Yet it is the people that make Volente so special. We are a pretty simple family without pretensions, but the staff of Volente (from the owner to the guys who load up the boat and tie us up at the end of the day) make us feel truly special. Whether it is Jeff sitting down with us to discuss the best fishing spots or Peyton taking the time to understand exactly what kind of boat would fit a particular outing best, they all take their jobs seriously. We could not be more pleased with Volente!

Our family is new this year to Volente Boat Club and we are loving every minute of it! The staff is extremely professional and have dealt with us with superior customer service which is rare these days. Being a family with kids, it has been a great way to go on mini vacations trying different types of boats and sports without the expense and headache of boat ownership. We would definitely recommend Volente Boat Club for those who wish to enjoy the lake and all the water activities it has to offer.

Like many other reviewers I was interested in purchasing a boat but didnt have the experience to make an informed purchase. This club has served as an excellent introduction into the world of boating. They have pontoons, speed boats, fishing boats, and even sail boats available to rent. All equipment is provided theres no hassle. The most painful part of boating is maintenance. You dont have to worry about that here. The staff is on top of things and extremely pleasant. Get an anchor stuck? No worries, just call in and theyll come out and help dislodge it. If they cant do anything they dont charge you. Its a pretty penny to join but the service is immaculate and makes you feel good about spending the money.

Im a relatively new member and love to club. Only issue would be the quality of some of the ski boats, but overall its been a phenomenal investment. I couldnt be happier with the decision. The entire staff from dock help to management is super nice and helpful.

After experiencing the pleasure and pain of personal boat ownership for many years, I traded in the boat and the pain for the pleasure of Volente Boat Club. A reasonable monthly fee provided great boats that we can hop on and start enjoying the lake and the company. The service is great, the water toy inventory is extensive, and the entire experience is worry-free. Go see Bryan Wallace and get a look at the plan and the pristine boats that could be yours for the day!

A great club to be a part of - for anyone, not just family. Friendly staff and great boats to use. The club rules take some time to get used to - but theyre for the better, and make for a more enjoyable experience for everyone. Before joining the club, I researched whether to rent vs. own. I found the Volente Boat Club to be far cheaper than buying a boat and storing it. Plus your boat never gets old/goes out of style, because they keep buying new ones each year. Never had an issue getting a boat, plus theyve got tons of water toys that are free to use! Highly recommend doing Volente Boat Club if you want to be on the water more than just one or two times per year.

We joined last August. Amazing place, great boats, and the staff is the best. Everything is so simple and easy. Wish we had joins years ago.

Weve been members since earlier this year. Things that attracted us to the club were the lake-level guarantee, their high marks for availability and the many pros of joining a club instead of owning and maintaining a boat. Since weve joined were happy to report that all of those things hit the mark. Beyond that, weve been very happy with the level of service. Employees like Alex, Payton and Blake have gone out of their way to be helpful, answer questions and get us out on the lake.

This is the best thing we could have done for our family. The boats and equipment are new and in fantastic shape. The staff is extremely efficient and friendly. I really cant say enough great things about this club!

The boats are incredible, the service is excellent, the staff is exceptional, and they have all the gear you need as well. I am not sure why anyone would ever buy a boat. I almost always get a boat when I need one and even last minute. They taught me how to sail and I love to take different boats out for different occasions. There is nothing easier and better than being part of the Volente Boat Club.

Volente boat club has been a wonderful experience for the family. They provide the training, equipment (skis, boards, jackets, etc) and the new boats. Just show up and have fun. There are many boats to choose depending your needs. Plus they are always clean and ready when we arrived. No cleanup, no hassle, just fun -- I highly recommend for the family.

Far and away, the smartest decision we made after moving to Austin was joining Volente Boat Club. Everything about the club has exceeded expectations. Its way more than the fact that the boats are new, clean and hassle free. The staff is amazing. They are always friendly, professional and fun to interact with. Anything you need, just ask. Super team!We thought about buying a boat for about 60 seconds before finding Volente Boat Club on the interweb. Believe all the positive reviews.These folks rock!

Ive been a member of the Volente Boat Club for a little over 3 years, and its been the best money Ive ever spent on recreational fun. Taking boats out when you want, without ever having to deal with maintenance, cleaning, or any other hassle is awesome.As they say, dont buy a boat, join the club!

I absolutely love Nautical Boat Club. We have a wonderful experience every time.The staff truely seems to care about their customers! I highly recommend!

Best investment we did for family activities, its like being in vacations every weekend. The staff is amazing and so knowledgeable, their boats are always in perfect conditions and the diversity of them make it for a fun experience anytime, from cruising, wake boarding, fishing as well as sailing. We do highly recommend that boat club.

All I can say is those who arent members of this club do not know what they are missing! I have owned several boats and I do not miss the after the fun cleaning up and carrying coolers etc. This club is topnotch! They really havent left anything out as far as your needs go. I especially appreciate the direct contact with members, you can call them and they are quick with answering the phone and booking boating days. They have brand new boats as well as sailing, fishing, tournament boats. I am really having fun this summer!

Wow!! What an amazing crew and the fleet of boats is top notch! I am so excited to create so many fun family memories.

Well, I have been thinking about joining a boat club like this one. I have been looking for a few years. I got on their email list. Well, I finally did it! I am so happy with the boats, the service, the staff! The price is great. Best decision I made in a long time! I am now lake person!

Ive owned boats in the past, and the club is definitely a better deal. Anyone who has owned a boat knows that you spend a lot of time dealing with issues. Joining Volente club is a far better deal financially, but the thing that is hard to appreciate is how much easier it makes it to spend time on the water. The club really removes all the chores of boat ownership.I studied all the clubs in Austin, and Volente is definitely the best. They have been around the longest while others have come and gone. They have newer, nicer boats than the other clubs, and they have more reasonable and flexible pricing plans.Boats have been available every time Ive called, and they have a great variety of boats that dont look like beater rentals like so many of the other clubs and boat rental places.

The employees at Volente Boat Club are very professional. From the first time I stepped foot into their location, everything has been honest and helpful. Now that I am a member, Ive been reserving boats with no trouble at all. The greatest part, all you have to do is fill the tank up and turn the boat in when you are done! I look forward to using the boats throughout the next 12 months, and even trying some fishing!

The gentleman at Volente Boat Club are the best around! The service is amazing and they will always give it their all to get you on the water with all the toys you want no mater what. Cant say enough about Volente Boat Club and all the people who make it work.

Cant say enough good things about the team on Lake Travis and the amount of value the club provides. Since joining, I have had no headaches, issues, or an unpleasant experience with any staff or boating experience. They take away every possible hassle when it comes to the boating experience. Cant recommend this team enough. Thank you!

This will be our second summer on the lake with Volente Boat Club. We could not have asked for more quality service. The staff is extremely helpful, but most importantly, they strive to make sure everyone gets the opportunity to go boating even if you call last minute! The boats are first class and are replaced with newer boats as they age. Being able to choose the type of boat for your outing based on the group and purpose is something you cant do when you buy a boat. Not having to bring your own tube, wake board, and other water toys is an advantage you have when choosing this club over the other club. If you are considering buying a boat for the summer and love Lake Travis, take twenty minutes and check out these guys. Ask yourself this - when you are drained from being on the lake all afternoon, do you want to just drop off your boat or maintain it yourself?

The Volente Boat Club has exceeded my already high expectations across the board. I have been a member now for almost 3 months and my experience has been quite excellent. I have been out on the lake almost every weekend for the last couple of months and have had no problem reserving a boat for the day and times I want. The staff are always professional and friendly; in fact many of them already know me by name. The boats are always ready when I show up and the fleet is in very good condition. In fact, most of the boats I have used are less than 24 months old. I would highly recommend the Volente Boat Club to anyone thinking about buying a boat, but even more so if youre looking to buy your first boat!The water is great and the weather is nice - get out on Lake Travis with your friends and family now!

Great boats, great service, and some of the best people I know. I would Highly recommend this club to anyone!

I have been a member at Volente for just over a month now and have been very happy with my experience. The key people who I have worked with on a weekly basis have been very down to earth and professional. The reservation process is simple and the turn around for your confirmation is quite good. I wakeboard twice a week and have been able to find several spots for good water, regardless of the lake level.

If you want a boat this is the route to go, youve seen the ads that say the happiest days of your life are when you buy and sell your boat, well add a third, the day you join Volente Boat Club. No fuss no muss! Everything is just as they promise you pay your monthly dues, and for that you have access to nearly 30 great boats from sail to wake surf and everything in between. Every single person on the staff is super helpful and courteous, a special shout out to Peyton and Nick, these guys do everything humanly possible to make your day at the lake the best it can be.I looked at several boat clubs when making my decision and it was just obvious to me with the lake level guarantee, the quality of the fleet, and the management of the club, there was no other choice.The boats are immaculate and new. The reservation process literally takes less than 30 seconds, and boat availability has been 100% for me. I have always gotten exactly what I wanted, when I wanted it every time.Talk about convenient, you show up get in the boat youve chosen, they already have it warmed up stocked with whatever water toys and life preservers you need, you get in pull out and enjoy the lake. When your done theyre waiting for you to pull into the slip, you ease in they take the dock line and you walk off the pier to your car and go home or to dinner or whatever with your friends and family instead of securing cleaning and storing your boat and toys for the next hour and a half.

We joined the Nautical Boat Club at Volente this spring and had a great experience all summer long and cant wait to do it again next year! We used the boat 2x a week and rarely had issues getting the boat we wanted. The tritoon boats are great for taking out our entire family and the wakebaord boats were tons of fun. Looking forward to next year and having more boats to surf on.When you compare the cost of owning a boat, this seemed like a no brainer to me and the convenience of walking out to the dock and jumping on a boat and not having to worry about maintenance, storage or anything else made it totally worth it for us.Would definitely recommend if anyone is looking for a fun family activity!

Ive been a member for a couple of months now and cant say enough great things about this company and all of the staff. Alex and Peyton are both true professionals. I had checked out these companies for a few years and debated buying a boat -vs- joining. Even a friend of mine who will go unnamed that SELLS boats convinced me this would actually be more fitting to my lifestyle. I researched and compared costs, hassle and convenience and finally pulled the trigger. SO HAPPY I did. The boats are VERY well taken care of, the location is perfect and every outing has been completely enjoyable. I have always been accomodated with a boat that is perfect, if not moreso, for my needs the day I want it. I tend to do Sunday afternoons and Tuesdays on my day off. The lake is AWESOME on a weekday as there is hardly a boat out and I get the lake almost to myself. The ONLY negative is that it would be REALLY cool if there would be some way to fight off the feeling I get that Im still on the lake with the wavy feeling I get while asleep that night and the next morning. So if anyone has any hints there, it would be appreciated. If you want access to great boats without the hassle of doing the work that goes along with it, at the price of basically a slip on the lake, JOIN the Volente Boat Club!

There is absolutely, positively no comparison between owning a boat and being a member of VBC. We owned a boat for 10 years - loved the lake, loved the adventure, hated everything about upkeep, cleaning, servicing and maintaining it.At VBC we have a variety to choose from (kids decide how many friends are coming and what they want to do), we walk to the dock, hop in the boat, off to play then pull it back in and head to the car. Its amazing. The staff are superb. Theyre always helpful, love to see you have fun and make everything about membership enjoyable.There is no better way to enjoy Lake Travis.

Weve been members of Volente Boat Club for three years now and are just starting our fourth; we love this boat club with its wide variety of new, clean boats! The staff has always been friendly and helpful, answering questions about navigating the lake and giving lessons on how to use the different boats. Last summer a dock hand helped me take out a speedboat for the first time in choppy water. He guided me out of the dock area and into open water...then jumped off and swam back to the dock. Talk about service! :-)

If you want to be on the lake and have constant access to a boat without the headaches, this is the way to go. I wish we could grab boats on Lake Austin too, but worth it to travel up to Volente for the quality of the boats you get here. Lots of variety is nice too, so you dont get stuck with just a wakeboard boat, or a pontoon boat, if you want to go sailing or fishing.

Hey VBC! Thank you for adding so many great boats for the 2016 season! We really liked the old boats, and love the new boats. We appreciate that you continue to upgrade the fleet!

I was considering buying a boat when I found out about Volente Boat Club, and after a few months of great times on awesome boats, I couldnt be happier with my decision. The first thing you need to know about Volente Boat Club is the staff is top notch. Everyone there is very friendly, not pushy at all, and more than willing to answer any questions you have, so dont hesitate to call and find out more. The second thing you need to know is Volente Boat Club has awesome boats. Not only is there a great variety of boats, all good for different occasions, they are all very new and kept in perfect condition. Lastly, Volente Boat Club is convenient. Volente gets all your equipment ready before you get there and does all the cleanup and maintenance after you leave. I cant say enough about how nice it is to just show up, get on your boat, head out, have a great day, pull back in and leave, knowing it will cleaned, maintenanced, and ready for you the next time you take it out.

I am a newer member as of July 13 and still have only scratched the surface of everything the club has to offer. I thoroughly enjoy wakeboard and love the fact I can use high quality/brand new boats to take this sport more seriously. Dont worry about spending extra cash on wakeboards or surf boards, as the club has a nice assortment of boards to choose from. I cant wait to see what brand new boats they put in the fleet for next year! Overall, great experience and seasoned staff who make you feel very welcomed whether beginner or pro boater. Side note- Shore Club at Volente Beach throws a fun Adult Night party throughout the summer too, great to end the day of boating up at the Shore Club.

Ive been with the boat club for 12 years now and I would recommend it to everyone!

All the fun and pleasure of boating without the inconveniences of boat ownership. The team at Volente Boat Club have refined things to a very polished and professional service. You will be greeted by name, presented a vessel in fantastic condition, assisted with your gear, offered accessories to support your day on the water and all of it served with warm and familiar faces. Beyond the boats, my children also had opportunity to get some fantastic wakeboard lessons through the club where within an hour my 10 year old was up on step. The marina serves the club well with full service assistance tying up and fueling which is helpful when you are the only adult onboard the boat. We could not be more pleased with the team at Volente Boat Club.

Awesome. What great hospitality. Amazing people in an amazing place.

What a great service run by great people. We considered buying a boat but then explored the Volente Boat Club (VBC). The benefits of becoming a member outweighed the benefits of being an owner. The boats are brand new and in excellent condition. The staff are friendly and helpful and always there to make sure you have the best day on the lake. VBC is professionally run. They respond immediately to any requests. Every request for boats or equipment has been fulfilled. Our family looks forward to being a member for years to come.

I moved to Austin last year and spent my first summer dying of heat exhaustion. This year we took the plunge (pun intended) and decided to join the Nautical Boat Club at Lake Travis. We have been out about six times so far to wakeboard and wakesurf and even with the cold winter water its been absolutely amazing. The choice to join the club has been the best decision weve made and my mindset has gone from hating the heat to hoping for 100+ degree days now.The staff has been knowledgeable, accommodating, and patient with all of our questions and requests as weve gotten started. The boats are all top of line and have performed great for tubing, wakeboarding, surfing, etc. All in all, we are extremely pleased with our decision to use Nautical and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great time on the lake.

Belonging to this club is at least 1000 times better than owning a boat. Its more like owning 15 boats and having a staff to do all the work for you. The only down-side is that all boats need to be in by 8:00 pm.

I have been a boat owner for over 20 years. There is nothing worse than getting ready for an outing only to find out your boat doesnt work. Now that I am a member of Volente Boat Club, that is no longer an issue. When I want to go on the lake, I set an appointment online and my boat is ready for me when I get there. Everything I need for the outing is also waiting for me like skis, wake boards, surfboard, DRY ski vests, etc. It couldnt be easier! The boats are nearly brand new (I actually was the 1st person to drive one boat), iPod/iPhone ready, gassed up, and CLEAN. I have access to pontoons, speed boats, and even a fishing boat. And when I want to take our dog, there is even a boat for him. The staff is helpful, friendly and accommodating. I couldnt be happier with my decision to become a member. THANKS VBC!!!

Before joining in 2008 I looked at all of the different boat clubs in Austin (some of which are now out of business). It was obvious after looking at the other clubs that Volente Boat Club was by far the best. I especially appreciated the location (close to north Austin) and the unlimited outings. I have loved being part of the club and frequently take out the sail boat, tritoons, and tournament wakeboard boats. It is unbelievably convenient, you just show up and all of your toys and life jackets are ready for you on the boat. I have several friends with boats and the amount time they spend cleaning the boat and the amount of money they spend on maintenance makes me really appreciate the club. One of those friends just recently sold his boat and joined the club...

Weve been members for about four months. Wanting to buy a boat, we went through the exercise of factoring the costs of ownership - payment, insurance, maintenance, storage, etc. Then a friend whos a boat owner suggested I check out Volente Boat Club. We compared ownership costs to the cost of a club membership, and it was a no-brainer..The convenience of reserving online, walking down the pier, doing the inspection, and driving off is unbeatable. Land to lake within 5 minutes. When youre done, drive up to the gas pumps where the friendly staff of VIP guide you in, tie you off, and fill you up. More often than not, theres a Volente employee dockside thatll take your boat back to the slip for you.The Volente staff - from the office to the dock - are top-notch, friendly, and knowledgeable on everything from current lake conditions to where to tie off for lunch. With a 6 year old, we stick mostly to the tritoons, but the fleet at our disposal is incredible. All boats are new, in great condition physically and mechanically, and you have access to just about any water toy youd like for no extra charge. Bringing 7 guests out with you? No problem - theyll take the time to fit everyone with the perfect sized vest.Weve rented before, and the experience is night-and-day different. Renting, you walk into an office, give them your credit card and ID, and they tell you what slip to go to. With Volente, Alex, Peyton, and Team took the time to make sure that membership was, first of all, the right decision for us. Then they ran the numbers on their numerous options to make sure we got the perfect membership plan for our needs. Finally, they provided comprehensive and invaluable training on everything from how to operate a boat safely, where to go/not to go depending on what you wanted to do, the best ways to drive to optimize your gas, on down to how to not look like a rookie on the water.We would, and do, highly recommend Volente Boat Club to all our friends that are contemplating buying a boat.

We have been members for 5 years and love it. Fleet of new boats and great staff.

We recently purchased a boat from Volente Boat Club and could not be happier with the quality and condition of the boat. This 2011 Moomba LSV was being retired from the Volente fleet and we wanted to upgrade from our current boat, the purchase option Volente offered matched our budget perfectly. The boat was spotless and perfectly maintained. It was like we bought a new boat without the painful pricetag. Five Stars for the gang at VBC!

I just finished my first year with VBC and it was great! I was really torn between buying a boat and joining the club, but the club option was definitely best for me for two main reasons. .First, you have access to several different types of boats. Each type of boat has it pros & cons and its great to be able to choose the best boat for your particular interest that day. Wake board boats are the best for surfing, wakeboarding, or skiing. However, they are the least fuel efficient and least comfortable to drive. I really wouldnt want to be restricted to just a wakeboard boat. Tri-toons are awesome for a casual day on the lake. They are large, comfortable, ride smoothly, and are very fuel efficient. Before joining the club, I didnt Id like them so much, but I wound up taking them out most of the time. The club has other great options as well from standard runabouts to sportier runabouts with wake towers. I never took out the sailboat or fishing boat, but its nice to have them available.The club buys several new boats each year and seem to retire each boat around the 3-year mark. Thus, all of the boats stay in really great shape. They teach you how to operate each particular boat, which was great for a novice like me. I never had any problems with their boats.The second reason VBC was the best option for me was because the boats are already in the water. There was no waiting for ramp time getting into or out of the water. Its very convenient to quickly load up and offload during each trip. That makes it possible for quick outings and more time on the lake.I never had any issues reserving a boat. There is pretty much always something available with a few days lead time. The wake board boats may need a week or so lead for weekends during peak season from my experience. You can keep 2 reservations at a time, so its not really hard to keep one of them reserved.Finally, Alex, Peyton, Blake and the rest of the guys at VBC are great to work with. If you are thinking about joining or just want more info, I suggest calling them to set up a time to go check it out. Take a look at all the boats and water toys they have. Its an impressive fleet!

I have owned several boats over the past 25 years and did not consider joining a boat club until meeting the Volente boat club staff and their membership options. Here are just a few reasons I chose to join:First, the staff is incredible. Very welcoming and helpful - like belonging to a country club. They even know your name.Second, the boats are clean and well maintained. From their competition ski boats and inboard/outboard wake tower Regals to the Bennington Tri-Toons, the selection is great. When you show up, everything is ready to go and loaded on your boat.Third, they provide just about all the equipment you need - wakeboards, towables for the kids, jackets, wakeboards, skis, etc. You really need to spend a few bucks on your own ropes and your good to go. All of the equipment is first class.Lastly, the value for getting all of the above for the monthly fee is great. Add up insurance, storage, monthly boat payment, and maintenance and its a bargain. I strongly recommend this to anyone doing their research as I have looked at all the programs and options around town.

Excellent location

Great club

Excellent experience!

Great service, with clean boats...
