⭐ Veteran-Owned | USCG Master Captain | 30+ Years Experience
Planning a party boat charter on Lake Lewisville? The biggest decision is whether to captain the boat yourself or have a USCG-licensed professional handle navigation while your group focuses on the party. Mutineers Charter Services runs fully captained party boat charters for groups of 8 to 50 guests — launching from Arrowhead Park in Hickory Creek, 25 minutes north of Dallas. Unlike most Lake Lewisville boat rentals that offer small pontoons or require a designated driver, every Mutineers charter includes a Master Captain, crew, premium sound system, and swim deck access on most vessels. Veteran-owned and serving the entire DFW metro.
USCG Master Captain and crew — on board for the full duration, managing the vessel and coordinating your group’s requests
Premium Bluetooth sound system — connect any device and control the playlist through outdoor speakers across the main deck and swim platform
Swim deck access (most vessels) — your captain anchors in a cove, drops the ladder, and guests swim and reboard directly from the water. Some swim toys are provided, lily pads and swim noodles are standard; paddle boards may be available
BYOB policy (restrictions apply) — bring your own beer, wine, champagne, food, and ice. Mutineers does not provide ice or towels, guests bring their own. Restrictions: no red drinks (red wine, fruit punch), no dishes containing rice, no high heels on deck
Safety equipment — standard life jackets provided for every guest, including standard children’s sizes. If you require above-XXL or very small child sizes, bring your own Coast Guard–approved life jacket
Onboard coolers and gas grill — coolers provided for your beverages (ice not included, bring your own). Gas grills available on board for cookout-style charters
Guests supply their own food, beverages, ice, towels, and decorations. For trusted local caterers, DJs, and event coordinators, see our preferred vendors.

Mutineers Charter Services operates four captained vessels on Lake Lewisville, each suited to different group sizes and party styles. Three are purpose-equipped for large group events with swim decks and premium sound — not repurposed fishing boats or bare-deck pontoons. A fourth, the Delta, serves smaller groups at a lower price point.
The largest captained party vessel on Lake Lewisville. Features an upper-deck dance floor, outdoor BBQ area, gas grill, and full swim platform with lily pads and swim noodles. Groups spread across two deck levels with the sound system running through outdoor speakers on both. Built for large celebrations where guest count and energy matter — bachelor/bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, and corporate outings. Weekday charters start at $2,268 for 4 hours.
A mid-size yacht with enclosed A/C cabin, open deck space, premium sound, and a swim deck. Handles groups that want a full party atmosphere without filling a 50-person vessel. Most popular mid-range option. Ideal for birthday groups, team outings, and holiday gatherings. Weekday charters start at $1,868 for 4 hours.
Custom party deck with full sound system, BYOB-friendly layout, and easy swim access from a rear platform. Groups of 15–24 get a private-feeling charter without paying for unused capacity. Works well for intimate celebrations, friend-group outings, and sunset party cruises. Weekday charters start at $1,268 for 4 hours.
The smallest and most affordable vessel in the fleet. Accommodates up to 8 guests for intimate group outings, casual lake cruises, and small private celebrations. Does not include a swim deck, but towed and dragged floats are included in the charter price. Ideal when you want a captained experience for a smaller group without booking a full-size party vessel. Weekday charters start at $568 for 4 hours.
All four vessels are available at weekday and weekend rates with a 4-hour minimum charter. For full session pricing by vessel, see Charter Pricing and Packages.
Party Cove is the most requested destination for party boat charters on Lake Lewisville — a sheltered inlet on the lake’s eastern shore where dozens of boats raft together on weekends from May through September. Your captain navigates directly to the cove, positions the vessel among the flotilla, and your group joins the floating social scene without renting a slip or finding your own way in. Most groups anchor for 60–90 minutes — long enough to swim between boats, socialize, and take in the atmosphere before the captain pulls out for open-water cruising.
Beyond Party Cove, captains run routes along the dam, through open-water cruising lanes, and into quieter coves for dedicated swimming stops. A typical 4-hour party charter splits time between a cruising loop with the sound system running and an anchored swim-and-socialize stop. Your captain adjusts the route based on weather, wind direction, and your group’s preferences — high-energy groups spend more time at the Cove, while family events often prefer a cove swim stop and scenic shoreline route.
For deeper coverage of cove locations, lake rules, and seasonal conditions, see Party Cove details in our guide.
Peak Season Note: Most weekend party boat charters book 3–4 weeks in advance between May and September. Weekday charters are easier to book on shorter notice and include lower rates.
Not every charter operation on Lake Lewisville is licensed or inspected. Unlicensed operators are not regulated by the Coast Guard Auxiliary or Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and they may lack proper safety equipment, commercial insurance, and required licensing. Incidents involving unregulated vessels have been documented on the lake, including injuries.
Mutineers Charter Services is USCG-licensed, TPWD safety-inspected, commercially insured, and veteran-owned. Every vessel meets Coast Guard standards for safety equipment, fire suppression, and passenger capacity. Every charter is led by a USCG Master Captain with 30+ years of professional maritime experience. Before booking any charter on Lake Lewisville, confirm the operator is licensed and insured.
Charters proceed if water conditions are safe — canceling because of your personal assessment of the weather does not automatically qualify for a refund. Texas weather is unpredictable; rain and sunshine can alternate throughout a single day, and foul weather is an understood risk of outdoor experiences on the lake.
Unless the Coast Guard issues an advisory or prohibits watercraft, any weather-based cancellation refund requires owner approval. Rescheduling is attempted within reason, but weekend dates are typically booked 3–4 weeks out.
If the owner cancels due to unsafe conditions and the guest also wants to cancel day-of (approved by the Fleet Commander): a minimum service fee applies, with the remainder offered as a refund or rescheduled date. The service fee covers prep work and staff costs already incurred.
For full booking and cancellation terms, see our frequently asked questions.
Mutineers Charter Services operates four vessels with capacities of 8, 24, 30, and 50 guests. The three party-size vessels — Stranger Danger (24), Whiskey Danger (30), and Gypsy Danger (50) — all include swim deck access and premium sound. The Delta serves up to 8 guests for smaller outings with towed floats included. Call (214) 277-9102 and we match you to the right vessel.
Yes. Party Cove is the most popular destination for party boat charters on Lake Lewisville, and your captain knows the route and best anchorage points. Most groups combine a 60–90 minute Party Cove stop with open-water cruising and a swim break. Read more in our Lake Lewisville Boating Guide.
Every Mutineers charter is BYOB — bring your own beer, wine, champagne, food, and ice. Mutineers does not provide ice or towels. Restrictions apply: no red drinks (red wine, fruit punch), no dishes containing rice, and no high heels on deck — these protect deck surfaces across all vessels. For caterer and DJ recommendations, see our preferred vendors page.

Party boat charter rates vary by vessel, day of week, and session time. All charters have a 4-hour minimum. Weekday rates run 15–20% lower than weekends. The Delta starts at $568 for 4 hours; the Gypsy Danger starts at $2,268. All rates include captain, crew, fuel, sound system, and safety equipment — plus tax and fees.
