Customize Your Own Trip
Whether you’d like to spend a leisurely afternoon on the lake or host a catered wedding reception onboard, JT’s Boat Rentals can help you customize a chartered trip aboard their 40’ “Sea Breeze” Party Boat or their 20’ Pontoon.
Public Cruises
JT’s offers a weekly two-hour ‘adults only’ sunset cruise during warm seasons. Just bring your own food and drinks and join the rest of the group for a tour around Lake Lewisville. Coolers, picnic baskets, and alcohol (21+) are allowed; and on our recent trip, we saw passengers with bottles of wine, ice chests of beer, shrimp cocktail platters, turkey sandwiches, bags of Wal-Mart fried chicken, etc. which they generally ate shortly after boarding.
Once out on the water, relax as the sun goes down and take the opportunity to have your photo taken with the lighted Lake Lewisville Toll Bridge as a backdrop. Then once it’s dark, and depending on the mood of the crowd, hit the cleared area at the front of the boat (a.k.a. ‘the dance floor’) as the music may change from easy listening to cranked up dance tunes amidst the glow of multicolored LED lighting along the ceiling and floor.
The Flash List staff had a great time on this cruise and we recommend it for singles and especially couples. A separate family friendly tour (kids allowed) is also offered weekly in warm seasons.
Private Charters
Swimming, tubing, sightseeing, just chillin’, celebrating a birthday party, conducting a meeting, or just having fun … name your event, and JT’s will work with you to accommodate your group’s activities.
Charters on the 40’ “Sea Breeze” can accommodate up to 50 people and include a driver as well as the use of banquet tables, an ice chest, the stereo system (you can bring your own CD’s or iPod), tubes, rafts, and dozens of ‘noodle’ floaties. Tour just about anywhere on Lake Lewisville, hang out at the Party Cove, travel under the bridges, take a swim, or just anchor at your favorite spot on the water. The boat also has transparent side curtains which can be lowered on windy or chilly nights, and features a non-skid deck, plenty of lifejackets, and an enclosed head (restroom) with a marine toilet.
The 20’ Pontoon carries 8-10 people, has a Bimini shade top, and can pull a tube. Charters include a driver and gas as well as the use of swim noodles, life vests, and stereo.
Attire
‘Lake’ attire is perfectly acceptable (especially on chartered trips), and most people were dressed casually on the public sunset cruise (shorts and flip flops). However, dressing up and even wearing heels (should you wish to) is very practical since the walking surfaces between the parking lot and the boat are quite smooth and relatively flat. Boarding the boat (like boarding an airplane) only requires a very easy, flat, even step directly from the dock onto the boat’s non-skid deck.
Know Before You Go
RSVP in advance, confirm on the day of your cruise, and make cash payment at the gate upon arrival.

Directions / Parking
JT’s has an address of 1 Eagle Point in Lewisville. This is their office (on land), not their boat. The boat is located in the water at a private slip at Eagle Point Marina.
Directions to the boat dock from Dallas:
Take I-35E north to Lewisville. Take the Garden Ridge exit and go over the railroad tracks. Take an immediate left onto the service road in front of the Slalom Shop. Turn right at the first driveway (just after the Slalom Shop). Then immediately curve to the left and continue all the way to the end of the drive. Just before you get to the end of the drive, you will see on your right a ramp walkway to the dock with blue railing. JT’s boat is located at the end of the ramp in boat house #2. However, do not park in the spaces directly across from the ramp (these are private parking spaces for boat owners). Instead, continue just a little bit farther to the point where the driveway ends in a grass circle. Park anywhere in that area (it’s free), grab your food and gear, and walk back to the dock ramp (it’s not very far at all).
Public cruises leave promptly, and traffic on I-35E can be very heavy at times. So if you choose to leave home and arrive in Lewisville early, there are plenty of places of interest near the highway to keep you occupied before boarding begins.
