Our Team

Captains

On Lake Norman, the Marine Commission monitors all Charter and Excursion Boats, and legally requires operators to be US Coast Guard Master Captains!

If you are considering a boat rental or charter make sure that your Captain is a true United States Coast Guard Master Captain and ask to see his or her credential and the companies charter boat permit from the Lake Norman Marine Commission. Without a USCG Master Captain behind the helm, it may not be quite what you hoped for from a safety, liability, experience, and potentially legal standpoint. Don't put yourself and friends at risk!
