Frequently Asked Question
If you’re booking with Carolina Cruising Charters, review our Frequently Asked Questions to learn about everything from our cancellation policies to tips for selecting the best boat experience.
The price for boat rentals on Lake Norman varies by type of boat, day of the week, and other factors.
Our pricing of a Lake Norman Boat Rental with driver (in our case Coast Guard Licensed Captain) is typically based upon the quality and maintenance of the boats and equipment, experience level of captains, and of course overall experience you ultimately receive.
As a fully insured, permitted, and licensed commercial boat charter on Lake Norman with new luxury boats and a worry free all-inclusive experience, we make it our priority to deliver the best value for your money, or as we like to say: make it your best lake day!
With that being said, boat rental pricing with driver included will mainly depend on the length of the charter and begins at $259. The best way to see what your experience will cost is by checking our online booking calendar or calling us at 704-850-5727.
No, we handle all fuel costs. In fact, our pricing is all-inclusive so the only extras would be if you chose add-on options such as watersports. Just don’t forget to tip your captain!
Luckily for you, we provide Captains who hold Merchant Mariner Master Level Credentials through the United State Coast Guard. So in our case, no, you don’t need a boating license! Even if you’re an avid boater, you’ll appreciate having a captain so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the time engaging with your favorite people.
Your captain has a passion for making sure you have the best experience possible and our team works diligently behind the scenes to make sure you enjoy your time onboard. Gratuities or tips are always appreciated and you’re welcome to tip before or after your trip!
Once you book, it’s up to you who you invite! We’ll never invite another group of strangers onto the same boat as you.
**Selling “tickets” to our charters is strictly forbidden and any doing so will terminate the charter immediately with forfeiture of all money paid.**
