Our team at work chartered a yacht fro here for a team celebration. I must say, I was impressed at…read morehow nice the yacht was. It was about 50 of us, and at no point did the yacht feel crowded. Plus if people want to hang out downstairs and upstairs, it could easily accommodate 100 or so people. The yacht had a front porch and a back porch downstairs, both covered but open on the sides. The front had a swing and some rocking chairs while the back had a patio table and patio chairs. We unfortunately had a rainy day, but hanging out on either of these porches allowed us to enjoy the view without getting wet. They also have a cabin downstairs which is super nice. You'd think you're on a cruise. the inside of the cabin is really nice, all wood, carpeted and very clean. There's a little countertop, a bar, refrigerator, TV, couch etc. There are 3 bathrooms (maybe more?) all of which are very clean and well maintained. The upstairs deck is partially covered. If it's raining, you will get a little wet while on the stairs going up or down, but it's not bad. They have a bar upstairs, and while we were there, they kept having trouble with the power going in and out, because of which the registers wouldn't work, and we had to wait forever for drinks. But in the end they got it working as everything was good. It's a hassle if you are paying by card, so bring cash! Plus, cash tips are always better, right? Our captain was super nice, as were the servers/bar tenders. The captain even let some of us steer the boat! Do give them a try for your next party/work event. Highly recommended!

Take in the views and grab a drink with friends -- you'll have a whole lotta yachta fun!

They have everything you could possibly want on their boat to enjoy a fun filled day out on the water! They have a bathroom, grill, cooler filled with ice, all kinds of floats, a paddle board, hammock seats, beer pong setup and even a putting green. They also have a great sound system with Bluetooth so you can hook up your phone or give them songs to play on theirs, we were easily the loudest boat in the cove! They really left no stone unturned when it came to having a great day on the lake. The atmosphere/vibe is super chill and they waited on us hand and foot whether it was getting us drinks from the cooler or bringing out different toys to have fun on. They have all kinds of drinking tools like funnels and even a four way beer shotgun. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a great day on the lake whether you are new to the area or have been going to lake Norman for years but just don't want the responsibility of bringing out the boat and would just rather relax.

Very affordable for a family outing, and there are two large ponds, so it is never "too crowded." It was only $6 per person to fish all day. Forget the Blackberry at home, but not the fishing chair.
