Hours, Rates & Special Offers
Same affordable price for every boat. Cash only. Open 7 days, weather permitting.
Boat Rental Rates
One simple price — the same for canoes, single kayaks, tandem kayaks, and paddleboards. Pro-rated after the first hour so you only pay for what you use.
| Rate Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Hourly | $21 |
| All Day | $57 |
Cash Only
We're proudly cash-only — it keeps things simple and prices low. The Zilker Eagle ATM is a short walk away if you need it.
Cash only — we don't accept credit cards or checks. There's an ATM about 200 feet away inside the Zilker Eagle mini train ticket depot, right at the park entrance. No ATM fees from us.
Hours
We're open 7 days a week, weather permitting. Arrive early on summer weekends — boats go fast! Call (512) 478-3852 if you want to confirm conditions before you drive over.
