   Fishing Guide And Cruises On Badin Lake, Captain Included

   We had an absolutely amazing time with Dale from 3 Girls Fishing on Badin Lake! We rented the boat and Captain Dale for a 4-hour trip, and while we weren’t fishing, we were definitely there to enjoy the lake, relax, and have a good time — and Dale delivered! He picked us up right at our private rental dock (technically a little early, which we appreciated!), gave us the quick tour of the boat, and showed us all the important features — dry storage, the trash can, and of course, the cooler. Priorities! And, after all of that, he even showed us where the life vests were. I think he was concerned we would need them. Good thing the floats were enough and we didn’t have to bust out the heavy artillery. He took us to a couple of great spots to hang out and even had floats ready for us to relax in the water. We hadn’t prepared a playlist ahead of time, but Dale let us stream our own music, so we spent the afternoon listening to a glorious combination of ’90s pop and Yacht Rock. Sorry in advance for completely messing with your algorithm, Dale. And then there was the bartending. Dale was an excellent bartender and somehow managed to keep up with my incessant questions about Badin Lake. If he didn’t know the answer, he was perfectly willing to make up a story, which honestly made the whole experience even better. We had such an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for a better captain. Dale was fun, laid-back, accommodating, and made the entire afternoon easy and enjoyable. We will absolutely be booking Dale again next year! If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing day on Badin Lake, I highly recommend 3 Girls Fishing and Captain Dale!

   Awesome awesome!!!! We were looking for a few hours and relaxing pontoon boat with plenty of shade for my Mom’s 80th! birthday party. Vincent was amazing! Spot on with communication. Boat was everything as advertised. We had an absolutely wonderful time. Sound equipment was perfect! My husband had no problems driving it. Vincent was understanding and calm and polite, and treated all the elders with utmost respect. He was such a pleasure! If you’re looking for an afternoon or morning pontoon boat ride for a few hours to enjoy your day at the lake – look no further! Just keep in mind there’s really no clean bathrooms at the dock though. Just like Porta potties – but that has nothing to do with Vincent or the boat!

   10/10 recommend! Had a great time with a large group, super easy to get to and from the dock and Vincent was great at communicating. He also was available via phone if we needed anything during our time on the boat. Appreciated the addition of tubing, life jackets, and all equipment we needed already included with the boat. Definitely going to do it again!!

   If you need a boat on Lake Norman, rent from Vincent. Seriously. The person you’re renting from is as amazing as his boat. His pricing also blew everyone else out of the water. Vincent was genuinely kind, easygoing and responsive. He met us at a nearby boat launch, walked us through everything, and made the handoff simple. My husband and daughter drove the boat to our lake house rental and parked it at our pier. It could not have been easier. And the boat was PERFECT for a family lake day. It was clean, comfortable, had tons of room, plenty of shade, Bluetooth, navigation/depth finder, life jackets, and a tube ready to go. The layout was fantastic for swimming—there are three different gates to get in and out of the water, and the rear ladder was so easy to use that our 12-year-old could put it up and down herself. We did plenty of tubing, but most of the day was exactly what we wanted: just cruising around Lake Norman, exploring the lake, and stopping to jump in and swim whenever we got too hot. It was such an easy, relaxed way to experience the lake instead of feeling like we had to constantly be doing something. Before returning the boat, we spent a couple of hours slowly fishing along the shoreline. Our daughter caught five or six fish, which was the perfect ending to an already great day. We rent vacation homes and boats often. I would absolutely rent from Vincent again without shopping around first. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough.

   It was great renting from Vincent. The boat was awesome, both myself and my girlfriend loved it. It was our first time on lake Norman and Vincent gave us some great places to look for and visit when out there. Highly recommend Vincent and his boat to anyone looking to rent a pontoon boat.
