Family reunions are all about bringing loved ones together, sharing special memories, and creating new ones in a fun and unique way. If you’re looking to host a reunion that stands out, why not take the celebration to the water? Lake Travis offers the perfect backdrop for a memorable family gathering, and Captain Verde’s party boats provide everything you need to make it an event to remember. Here’s how to plan the perfect family reunion on Lake Travis with Captain Verde.

1. Choose the Right Boat for Your Group

The first step in planning your family reunion is selecting the right boat to accommodate your group. Captain Verde offers a range of boat options, from double-decker pontoons to wake surf boats, making it easy to find the perfect fit for your reunion. Keep in mind the number of passengers allowed on each boat, as each vessel has a specific capacity. For larger families, the double-decker pontoon offers plenty of space, water slides for added fun, and ample room to spread out. For smaller, more adventurous groups, a wake surf boat provides excitement and the chance to enjoy some water sports together.

Disclaimer: Be sure to check the passenger limits for each boat rental before booking to ensure everyone can join in on the fun!

2. Plan Your Day on the Water

One of the great things about hosting your family reunion on Lake Travis is the flexibility to plan a day that suits everyone. Whether your family loves relaxing and soaking in the views or prefers action-packed activities, Captain Verde has you covered. Some ideas for making the most of your time on the water include:

  • Swimming and Floating: Take advantage of the warm water and enjoy a relaxing swim or float. Bring along some inflatables to make it even more fun for both kids and adults.
  • Water Sports: For families that love adventure, consider renting a boat equipped for wake surfing or tubing. It’s a great way to bond over some friendly competition and add some excitement to the day.
  • Lake Tour: Explore Lake Travis together and take in the beautiful scenery. With its clear blue waters and surrounding hill country, the lake provides stunning views that everyone in the family will appreciate.

3. Bring Entertainment for All Ages

While the lake itself offers plenty of entertainment, it’s always a good idea to bring along additional activities to keep everyone engaged. Family reunions are all about connecting with one another, and adding some fun games or activities can enhance the experience. Some ideas include:

  • Music: Create a family reunion playlist and let the good times roll! Captain Verde’s boats come with Bluetooth speakers, so you can keep the atmosphere lively with music everyone will enjoy.
  • Family Trivia: Before the reunion, gather fun facts about your family’s history and organize a trivia game to play on the boat. It’s a fun and interactive way to learn more about your roots while spending quality time together.
  • Photo Ops: Don’t forget to capture the moments! Bring a camera or hire a photographer to snap pictures of your family enjoying the day. The beautiful lake and sunset views make for the perfect backdrop to preserve these memories.

4. Plan for Comfort

Being out on the water means you’ll want to make sure your family is comfortable throughout the day. Bring along essentials like sunscreen, hats, towels, and swimsuits to keep everyone cool and protected from the sun. You’ll also want to pack plenty of water to stay hydrated as you enjoy your time in the sun.

Consider providing fun items like matching reunion T-shirts or lake-themed accessories (think sunglasses, caps, or floaties) to add a festive touch to the day and make it feel even more special.

5. Make it Special with Personal Touches

Every family has its own traditions, and your reunion on the lake is the perfect opportunity to incorporate those special touches. Whether it’s a family photo session, a heartfelt toast to loved ones, or a surprise for a family member, these personal elements can make your reunion even more memorable. You can also organize a slideshow of past reunions or old family photos to enjoy while floating on the lake, creating a beautiful blend of nostalgia and new experiences.
