Sandy Creek’s convenient and expansive selection of boat slips for rent near Austin

An Austin boater’s slip choices at Lake Travis are plentiful. It takes a special blend of service and selection to stand out year after year. As a member of the VIP Marinas group, Sandy Creek Yacht Club Marina knows this and we make it our mission to provide a “VIP” experience. 

We provide three tiers of boat slips for rent near Austin, which include our 11 by 26-foot covered wet slips, our 20 by 60-foot patio slips, and our covered 16 by 36-foot yacht slips.

Quick tips

  • Last fuel, groceries, and coffee: the Four Points area at RM 2222 × RM 620 has multiple stations and stores.

  • Road notes: Lime Creek Rd is narrow and twisty—take it slow and watch for cyclists.

  • Cell coverage: Generally good all the way to the marina, but downloading an offline map never hurts when exploring hill-country backroads.

Enjoy your day on Lake Travis!

What entails a Lake Travis marina?

Finding a boat slip for rent, especially near Austin with so many recreational choices, can be a bit daunting. Here’s a little about what sets Lake Travis apart. 

Lake Travis is home to Hippie Hollow, the only sanctioned public “nude beach” in Texas. Here you’ll find Devil’s Cove and Starnes Island, party destinations that draw thousands and thousands of students out from the University of Texas at Austin and surrounding colleges, as they flock during the hot summer days. Our lake is also home to the aforementioned Pirate Dock Party, an annual event that involves dressing up as a real pirate and shooting off a real pirate cannon into the lake. 

This is your lake, Austin. We look forward to making you feel right at home.

What Our Customers Say

"This is the best marina on Lake Travis. The owner really works hard on keeping it in great shape and is very focused on the tenants concerns. The manager and staff are super cool and go above and beyond all the time. It has a nice ship store with gas pumps. The Shack 512 restaurant is the best on the lake. However the tenants are the best part of this marina. I love keeping my boat here, it's like going to a resort."

"Very impressed with management and customer service at both Marina and Shack 512. So much that a slip came up before our lease at another marina was up but we jumped! Looking forward to joining the neighborhood in July."
