What a Captained Family Boat Charter on Lake Lewisville Includes
A captained family boat charter is a booked block of time on a private boat, run by a licensed captain and set up for a mixed-age group rather than a single occasion. You get the vessel, the captain, and a flexible route across Lake Lewisville, so families across the DFW metro can swim, cruise, and relax without anyone driving the boat.
It sits on the same path as our broader party boat rental on Lake Lewisville, just framed for an all-ages family day. Watersports like tubing are available as captained add-ons, never as a self-drive rental, because a captain stays at the helm the entire time.
All Ages, Kids Welcome
Kids are welcome on every family charter, and grandparents are too, because the format is built for a span of ages in one group. A family charter gives everyone one shared day on the water: kids swimming off the back, parents relaxing aboard, grandparents taking it easy, and the captain keeping the boat and the group together. A daytime outing suits young children better than a late-night cruise because the water is calmer and the pace is gentler.
That mixed-age comfort comes down to what is actually aboard for swimming and safety.
Swim Toys, Floats & Children's Life Jackets
Yes, swim toys, floats, and life jackets are aboard. The boat carries floats and swim toys for open-water swim stops, plus life jackets in standard sizes, including standard children's sizes.
Special-needs sizes - above XXL, or for a very small child - are guest-provided, so bring your own if your child falls outside standard sizing.
Family Day vs Birthday Charter
A family day charter and a birthday charter use the same boats and the same captain, but they aim at different things. A family day is the general all-ages outing with no single guest of honor, while a birthday charter is built around celebrating one person.
If you are planning a party with cake, decorations, and a dock-load setup window, our birthday party boat charters own that occasion. For a relaxed day on the lake with the whole family, this page is the right fit.
Captained & Family-Safe
A USCG-licensed captain runs every charter, so no one in your group needs a boating license or any boating experience. That is the core safety difference from an unlicensed or self-drive option, because the person responsible for the boat is trained and accountable.
With a captain at the helm, weather, boat traffic, and swim stops are monitored throughout while your family stays in the water or in the shade.
Family Charter Pricing
Family charters are priced by the hour and by boat size rather than per person, so a larger family group shares one flat rate instead of paying a head count.
For current rates by vessel and season, see our charter pricing.
Are kids allowed on a family boat charter?
Yes. Every family charter is all-ages, and the daytime format is built for young children and grandparents in the same group. The captain runs the boat the whole time, so parents can stay with the kids in the water or on board instead of driving, and the schedule stays relaxed rather than late-night.
Is a family charter good for young children?
Yes. A daytime family charter suits young children because the water is calmer than at night and the captain controls the pace and the swim stops. Life jackets in standard children's sizes are aboard, and floats and swim toys are on the boat for shallow, supervised swimming when the boat is anchored.
Do you provide children's life jackets?
Yes. Life jackets in standard sizes, including standard children's sizes, are aboard for the charter. Special-needs sizes - above XXL, or for a very small child - are guest-provided, so bring your own if your child falls outside standard sizing and you want a guaranteed fit.
Are swim stops required, or can we skip them?
Swim stops are optional. The captain can anchor at a calm spot so the group can swim with the floats and swim toys aboard, or keep cruising if your family would rather stay on the boat. You decide during the charter, and the captain chooses a safe place to stop so kids can get in and out of the water.
What should our family bring?
Bring towels, sunscreen, and any snacks and drinks your group wants for the day. The boat already carries floats, swim toys, and standard-size life jackets, so the main things to pack are sun protection and your own food. For the full list of what you can bring on board, ask when you book.
How is this different from a birthday charter?
A family day is the general all-ages outing on Lake Lewisville, with no single guest of honor. For a birthday celebration with decorations, a guest of honor, and a dock-load setup window, book the birthday party boat charter instead, since that occasion is covered on its own page.
