Most people planning a boat charter want to know two things before they call: how much does it cost, and what's included in that price?
Charter pricing with Mutineers Charter Services covers three captained yachts on Lake Lewisville, each with different capacities, amenities, and rate structures. As a veteran-owned company, we provide transparent pricing that includes your USCG Master Captain, crew, safety equipment, and onboard sound system — no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, no booking add-ons.
Most weekends during peak season (May–September) book 2–3 weeks in advance. Weekday charters offer 10–15% savings — the same yachts, same captain, same experience at a lower rate.

A yacht charter includes far more than the vessel itself. Your price covers a USCG-licensed captain, professional crew, commercial vessel insurance, fuel for the entire charter, ongoing maintenance to Coast Guard standards, and a fully equipped event-ready environment with sound system, swim deck, and flexible routing. Unlike self-drive pontoon rentals where you assume liability and responsibility, a captained charter means zero operational burden on your group — which is why most groups planning events and celebrations choose this option.
Every rate above includes the following at no additional cost:
What's Not Included
For a deeper comparison, see "Captained vs self-drive" in our compare boat types in our guide.
Weekday Value: Weekday charters (Monday–Thursday) are typically 10–15% lower than Friday–Sunday rates. Same yachts, same captain, same experience — just quieter on the lake and easier on the budget. Best value option for corporate events, team outings, and groups with flexible schedules.
Weekend Peak: Friday evening through Sunday is the highest-demand period. Most groups booking for May–September weekends need to reserve 2–3 weeks ahead. Saturday afternoons are the first slots to fill.
Holiday Premium: Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, and New Year's Eve carry a 5–15% surcharge due to high demand and limited availability. These dates often book a full month in advance.
Sunset Cruise Special: Evening charters on the 57-foot Whiskey Danger start at $1,600 during low season (Oct–Mar) and $1,692 on weekdays during high season — the most affordable luxury yacht charter option on Lake Lewisville. All charters are a 4-hour minimum. Timed for golden-hour views along the western shoreline. See our sunset cruise on Lake Lewisville page for details.
Yacht charter pricing at Mutineers starts at $1,156 for a 4-hour weekday charter on the 45-foot Stranger Danger and ranges up to $3,000 for a holiday prime-time charter on the 65-foot Gypsy Danger. All charters have a 4-hour minimum. Prices include captain, crew, fuel, safety equipment, and sound system. Weekend rates and holiday rates are higher — call (214) 277-9102 for a quote on your specific date.
Yes. Fuel costs are included in every charter rate. There are no fuel surcharges — the price you're quoted is the price you pay.
Half-day charters (5+ hours) have a lower effective hourly rate than the 2-hour minimum. Full-day charters offer the best value per hour. Ask about package pricing when you call (214) 277-9102.
Many groups split the charter cost among attendees. For a 20-person party on the Stranger Danger at $1,156 for 4 hours (weekday rate), the per-person cost is approximately $58 — often less than a night out at a bar or restaurant. For a 30-person group on the Gypsy Danger at $1,956 (weekday), that's roughly $65 per person. Weekend rates are higher, but per-person cost still drops significantly with larger groups.
Yes. We provide invoices for corporate events and team outings. Many companies book weekday charters for team building, client entertainment, and milestone celebrations. Contact us for corporate booking details.
If weather makes the charter unsafe, your deposit transfers to a new date at no penalty — Captain Mitch makes the safety call, not you. For guest-initiated cancellations, deposits are non-refundable but may be applied to a rescheduled date depending on timing. Call (214) 277-9102 to discuss your specific situation.
Gratuity is appreciated but never required or expected. Guests who do tip typically follow a 15–20% guideline similar to restaurant dining. The captain and crew work to make your experience exceptional regardless.
Call (214) 277-9102 or text (903) 413-5431 for a custom quote based on your group size, date, and occasion.
