Lake Norman Boat Rental Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide life jackets for kids?

Absolutely! We’ve got your little sailors covered. Safety first, fun second.

Can I bring my dog on the boat?

We love pups, but unfortunately, our boats don’t. For everyone’s safety, pets need to stay on dry land.

Is alcohol permitted on board?

Passengers can sip and savor, but the captain’s cup stays dry. Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is a serious no-no and is treated just like a DUI in North Carolina but with even higher stakes.

Will I get a crash course on boating before we head out?

You bet! We’ll set you up with a safety video and all the need-to-know info before you embark on your adventure.
