Harris 220 Pontoon Rental on Mountain Island Lake, Charlotte, NC
Robert was an excellent host. He was very accommodating and gave us a detailed list of places to check. The boat was clean and operated beautifully. And the value for being on the water all day was incredible. I highly recommend him and his boat!

Pontoon Adventure on North Carolina's Beatufiful Lakes
I can’t say enough about Suzanne and the service they provided us. Excellent communication and response time. We took the boat out on the lake for my wife’s birthday and couldn’t have asked for a better day. GPS and Bluetooth radio took a bit to figure out, but we truly made some memories that we’ll never forget. Can’t wait to do it again. Thank you!

22' Inboard Propulsion Charter in Davidson, North Carolina
We had a blast celebrating our Bride-to-Be! Chris was an incredible host on Lake Norman - we all enjoyed ourselves and had some great laughs. Captain Chris was friendly, kept us safe, and towed us around the lake on his tube and surfboard. He has a fun personality and extreme patience :) Thanks again Chris! We'll be back!

Harris 220 Pontoon Rental on Mountain Island Lake, Charlotte, NC
Bob was very responsive and had excellent communication. The boat was in great condition, and he had filled the tank for us. He gave us a detailed walkthrough at the beginning and patiently explained how to operate the boat. We had a fantastic day and will definitely rent Bob's boat again. Thank you Bob.

Harris 220 Pontoon Rental on Mountain Island Lake, Charlotte, NC
Bobby was super kind and super responsive! He let us borrow the tube, and my teens had a good time tubing with me on the lake. He has a good map on the boat that is easy to follow. It was the first time I had ever been in charge of a boat by myself, and it was very easy to maneuver. He also has a fantastic place that he rents out where he docks his boat- exceptional views of the water (especially on the second floor-wow). I’d encourage you to check it out!!
