Holiday Marina is a full-service marina situated at 20139 Henderson Road in Cornelius, North Carolina, along the shoreline of Lake Norman. Conveniently located less than two miles from I-77, it is one of the area’s oldest and best-equipped docking and storage destinations for recreational boaters.
Facilities and Services Holiday Marina offers 593 wet slips and dry storage spaces accommodating a variety of boats. Amenities include a private boat ramp, fuel and gas docks, electricity and water hookups, shower and bathhouse facilities, hull cleaning, haul-outs, and jet ski slips. A service shop provides maintenance and repair, and the marina also offers golf-cart valet service for slip holders.
Dining and Leisure The waterfront restaurant Hello, Sailor, from chefs Joe and Katie Kindred, anchors the property as a dining destination with indoor and outdoor seating and about 20 boat slips for patrons. Visitors can enjoy meals, cocktails, and live music overlooking Lake Norman. Gazebos and grill areas add to the leisure atmosphere.
Policies and Operations The marina operates daily, typically 9 a.m.–5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m.–6 p.m. on weekends, with fuel docks closing 15 minutes earlier year-round. The boat ramp and parking are private, reserved exclusively for marina and restaurant patrons. Holiday Marina does not rent boats but provides slip leasing and storage services.
Community and Reputation Locally managed and part of the McLeod Corporation portfolio, the facility has served Lake Norman’s boating community for decades. Patrons often cite professional staff and convenient access as reasons for its longstanding popularity among both residents and Charlotte-area visitors.
