When you plan a boating adventure, packing smart can make the difference between a good day and a great one. Whether you’re cruising, tubing, fishing, or just relaxing, this ultimate checklist ensures your Lake LBJ boat rental experience is safe, comfortable, and unforgettable.

Essentials You Shouldn’t Forget

  • Valid ID & Boater Education Card – Texas requires anyone born after Sept. 1, 1993 to carry a boater education card.

  • Reservation Details – Confirm your rental time and bring your booking info for easy check-in.

  • Credit Card & Cash – For rental fees, add-ons, or fuel.

Safety First

  • Life Jackets – Provided with your rental, but bring personal ones if you have small children.

  • First Aid Kit – For minor scrapes, cuts, or sunburns.

  • Waterproof Phone Case – Protects your phone while you’re on the lake.

Comfort on the Water

  • Soft-Sided Cooler – Packed with water, sports drinks, and snacks. Avoid glass bottles.

  • Sunscreen & Hats – The Texas sun is strong; reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours.

  • Towels & Extra Clothes – Great for swimming breaks and drying off before heading home.

  • Water Shoes – Helpful for rocky areas, docks, or walking on sandbars.

  • Sunglasses (Polarized) – Cuts glare on the water and protects your eyes.

Fun & Entertainment

  • Bluetooth Playlist – Pair your phone with the onboard stereo for music.

  • Floats & Inflatables – Perfect for relaxing at sandbars.

  • Towables (Tube, Wakeboard, Kneeboard) – Add one to your rental for extra excitement.

  • Camera or GoPro – Capture every moment of your Lake LBJ adventure.

Pro Tips for Stress-Free Packing

  • Pack light but smart—soft coolers and bags save space on deck.

  • Freeze a few water bottles the night before; they’ll double as ice packs.

  • Store valuables in a dry bag to keep them safe.

  • Keep your sunscreen, hats, and towels in an easy-to-grab tote for quick access.
