Straight answers

How many people can we bring?

Up to 8 people on board, including the driver. Exceptions may apply for some situations, so text (516) 426-6036 and ask before you book if your group is larger.

What's included in the price?

Gas, a cooler of ice, bottled water, snacks, water saddles, and links to our favorite spots on the lake. That's over $100 of value included with every rental, at no extra charge.

Is there a deposit or any hidden fees?

No. No security deposit, no down payment, no booking fees, and no annual or monthly dues. The rate you see plus 3% tax is what you pay. Holidays and holiday weekends add $100.

How does booking work?

We're appointment only, with a 2 hour notice required. Book your date and time slot, and you'll get an email and text confirmation with all the details for your reservation.

Do I need boating experience?

We make sure every operator meets safety and experience requirements, and you get hands-on safety instruction before leaving the dock so you feel confident out on the water.

Why rent from you instead of Boatsetter or GetMyBoat?

Peer-to-peer platforms let you rent from private owners, which can mean insurance gaps, little vetting, and no real accountability if something goes wrong. We're fully licensed, compliant with all Lake Norman Marine Commission regulations, and we stand behind every rental.

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes. E-gift cards are available, and a day on Lake Norman is a gift nobody returns.
