BYOB drinks on a Lake Travis boat charter — what to bring, what's allowed, and how Party On Delivery (Premier's sister company) pre-stocks the coolers so the bachelorette doesn't roll a cooler from HEB. The complete reference for boat drinks on Lake Travis.
Lake Travis BYOB rules
Cans and plastic containers only — no glass anywhere on the water. Texas game wardens patrol Lake Travis on busy weekends; broken glass on a swim cove floor is a real safety issue.
21+ to consume alcohol (Texas state law). All ages on board welcome — minors just don't drink. Premier captains enforce this at the boarding step.
No outside alcohol service on a public charter (the ATX Disco Cruise) — bring your own. Private charters: same BYOB rule, your group your call.
What to bring
Beer: 24-pack of cans (Lone Star, Shiner, Modelo, White Claw all standard).
Spirits: 1.75L plastic handles of whatever the group drinks. Tito's, Jameson, Crown, Casamigos.
Mixers: cans of soda, plastic bottles of juice, La Croix.
Ice: large bag (Premier provides on-board coolers but topping up is fine).
Cups: red Solo cups (the Lake Travis classic) or insulated tumblers.
Snacks: pretzels, chips, charcuterie packs, anything that survives a cooler.
Party On Delivery option
Party On Delivery is Premier's sister company — pre-stocks the boat with the exact drinks you order 30 minutes before boarding. White Claw, Tito's, mixers, La Croix — whatever the group ordered, on ice, ready when you board.
Pricing: roughly $30/guest for a typical Lake Travis boat day (4-hour charter, mixed beer + seltzers + spirits). Cigars and premium spirits add to the bill.
The bachelorette doesn't have to spend her own afternoon at HEB. Order the night before, show up at the marina, drinks are already cold and on the boat.
