Our Captains - Who Make it Your Best Boat Rental with Driver
On Lake Norman, the Marine Commission monitors all charter boats, excursion boats, boat charters, and legally requires operators to be US Coast Guard licensed Master Captains! If you are considering a Lake Norman boat rental with driver (boat charter), make sure that boat rental with driver is actually a United States Coast Guard licensed Captain and ask to see his or her credential and the company’s charter boat permit from the Lake Norman Marine Commission.
Without a USCG Master Captain operating the boat, your Lake Norman Boat Rental with driver may not be quite what you hoped for from a safety, liability, experience, and potentially legal standpoint. Don’t put yourself and your friends at risk!
