We had an awesome time after renting a boat and jet ski from Carolina boat rentals! They were super kind and delivered it right to our dock and they were five minutes early/right on time. The boat had plenty of room for a family of 8 to be comfortable. The jet ski was fast and worked perfectly too. We are definitely going to be calling them next vacation too!

Rented a pontoon boat for the day with the family and grandkids. Had a wonderful time. Carolina Boats was very easy to work with, professional, and exceeded all our expectations. The boat was clean and well maintained. Will look up Carolina Boats for any future boat rentals.

We had an awesome day on lake Norman with captain Moe & company! This is the 10th time I have used him for pontoon trips and he has always been able to accommodate my group, whether it’s a sunset boat ride or in this case 3 pontoon boats for a large group. He is very responsive and has a ton of availability. Moe and his team make sure you can safely enjoy the lake and they know the lake like the back of their hand. I highly recommend!

We had such an amazing experience with this boat rental! From booking to drop-off, everything was smooth and stress-free. The staff was super friendly, gave us a clear rundown of the boat and safety instructions, and made sure we felt safe and prepared
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, easy day on the water with zero hassle. We’ll definitely be renting again!

Okay 5 stars is just not enough... our experience was so amazing and memorable. Noreisis was our captain and she exceeded our expectations more than we could imagine. The boat was great, the lake was beautiful.. but the professional and unique experience that she provided for us was the cherry on top. Wr will be returning for another boat ride with this company solely because of the wonderful customer service. Thank you and see you soon.
