We were in Davidson, NC for a family reunion. Our local hosts booked a 2-hour cruise on Lake Norman and it was fantastic! Our captain took us to all sorts of sights worth seeing, all the while providing us with lake history and other interesting facts. The weather was perfect, which made it that much better. The boat was very spacious and comfortable for the 9 of us guests. I highly recommend this boat tour!

My family gifted me the cruise on Lake Norman for my birthday! It was a big hit for all of us! Captain Isaiah was very knowledgeable & gave us a lot of information about sights/homes on the lake! He was also very personable & we all loved him! The weather was perfect & we all had a great time! They’re already talking about doing it again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Spending my entire childhood living the “lake life” in New England, growing up with a father who was in marine law enforcement, owner of a charter business in southwest Florida and now teaches boater safety classes in New Hampshire, I have to say, I am blown away by the level of professionalism and experience with Carolina Cruising Charters. I have been on 5+ cruises now with the company and I can now say that Lake Norman is very lucky to have such an elite company in our backyards. We have had captain Isaiah the last two times, and our experience has been top class. Whether your an avid boater/watersports enthusiast like myself, or a group of friends/family that want to make memories of a lifetime in a fun and safe environment, you need to check these guys out. Cheers and see you again soon.

Captain Isaiah took great care of us as we kicked back and relaxed cruising around. He informed us on some facts regarding the lake and overall had great conversations. I would recommend friends and family to come charter with him in the future. 10/10 great experience.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the best time with Carolina Cruising Charters on Lake Norman! The pontoon was beautiful and relaxing, and the views out on the lake were absolutely stunning. Jumping off the boat into the water at 39 feet deep was such a fun and unforgettable experience! Captain Matt was amazing, super friendly, laid-back, and made sure we had an awesome time from start to finish. It was the perfect day on the water with my friends Eliza and Evan and my boyfriend Chris. Such a well-spent trip full of laughs, sunshine, and memories we’ll never forget. Highly recommend booking with them if you’re looking for a fun, scenic, and chill lake day!
