"We pride ourselves in helping you buy a boat, rather than just trying to sell you one."
Boat Town is an authorized boat dealership serving the Central Texas area. We are proud to carry a large selection of new and pre-owned inventory. When you are ready to invest in a new boat, our friendly and knowledgeable sales, financing, service, and parts departments are prepared to make sure your experience is outstanding, from assisting while you’re making your choice to ongoing maintenance and customization. At Boat Town, we value the opportunity to create a long-term relationship with our customers, and we do that by giving you the best customer service available.
WHY BOAT TOWN
Aside from the fact that we truly care about your buying and boating experience “We pride ourselves at helping you buy a boat rather than just trying to sell you one. Our team will assist you in every way to select the proper boat for your needs” says Clayton Raven. “You are not just buying, you’re investing in family fun, togetherness, and enjoyment, and we want to be a part of that experience.”
Boat Town has received numerous awards over the years. Customer satisfaction awards mean the most to us. Most recently Boat Town was honored as a Platinum Cobalt Dealer – only 10 dealerships in the world have been given that honor. We are one of the largest MasterCraft, Cobalt, and Barletta dealers in the world. Most recently we were awarded Best Boat Dealership in Austin by the Austin American Statesman and Best Boat Dealer in the LBJ area.
While it certainly is nice to be recognized by your peers and community as one of the best of the best, we never lose sight of the fact that our customers and their recreational satisfaction are what really matters to us. When you invest in your boating lifestyle choices, it is imperative that what you purchase be nothing but satisfying. All boats are not created equal and there are many considerations in getting exactly what you want and deserve.
OUR SERVICE
You can rest assured that our sales and service staff are on the cutting edge of boating knowledge. Both teams are continuously updated with factory-sponsored instruction and training and we are ready to pass that service on to you.
Service after the sale is even more important in our opinion. Just let Boat Town’s award-winning service crew, staffed by factory trained technicians put your mind at ease. As a Boat Town customer, your service request is as good as done.
Boat Town wants to earn your partnership and be your boat dealer whether your needs are in a new boat, a used boat or the latest in wakeboard and/or ski equipment. Come and experience the feel of Boat Town; we will absolutely take great care of all your boating needs!
Boat Town is Austin’s oldest and finest boat dealership serving the entire Highland Lakes area, Austin, and Central Texas. We offer two full-service dealerships that always put the needs of you- our customer- first. Boat Town has been owned and operated as a family business by the Raven Family for 3 generations, and are proud to be able to say we have been serving Central Texas for more than 60 years. The original Boat Town was on Lake Austin until 1991, when we moved to our current Austin location on South Lamar. In 2017, we purchased waterfront property on Lake LBJ and in 2018 Boat Town LBJ was created and opened the doors – along with Boat Town Burger Bar – to further serve central Texans. 2021 brought further expansion with adding Patio 2900 Pizzeria, voted Best Pizza in the Highland Lakes Area as of 2024. The Raven Family has deep roots in central Texas and the Hill Country- Clayton is a fifth generation Austinite, and Karen was born and raised in Fredericksburg. They raised their two sons, Clay and Cody on Lake Travis and both are now involved in the business, letting the legacy move on for generations to come for the Raven family.
