About Us
Enjoy a stress-free time captained by one of our licensed skippers. We strive for our passengers to have a fun and safe time celebrating special occasions or hanging out and enjoying the beauty of Lake Norman. We provide the boat, captain, safety items & water toys for your entire event to be an exceptional experience! You bring the passengers, food, and drinks.
We are a married couple who moved to the Lake Norman area, with our 3 children, in 2021. We have a long history of boating. Whereas Dan has been boating his entire life, Karla became familiar with the world of boating when they met in 1996. When married in early 1999, Karla assumed we would have our own boat someday, but she was surprised when Dan purchased our first boat within 6 months after the marriage. The rest is history. We’ve raised our own kids on the water and have boated on many lakes within the U.S. We love spending family time tubing, skiing, wakeboarding, surfing and just hanging out on the boat and in the water with one another. We are passionate about sharing our love for boating and all things water-related with others.

What Our Clients Say
Kimberly
We had an absolutely amazing time yesterday aboard Karla’s boat! She was an incredible host, communicative & professional! Karla made sure every detail was perfect for our group of women. The boat was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, and Karla went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. From her friendly demeanor to her expert knowledge of the waters, we couldn’t have asked for a better captain. Highly recommend Karla for any future boat charters!
Monica
We had a great time on our charter with Karla. She was personable yet professional, and she ensured our safety the entire evening. Additionally, she shared new information about the lake that we never knew! We’ll definitely book with Karla again!
Meghan
We were looking for a boat rental on our girls trip and let me tell you, we hit the lottery finding Karla P. Her communication for booking was top notch. When we arrived we were greeted with her assistance to get our belongings down to the boat. Our entire trip she made sure it was all about us. Did we want to float? Cruise? While floating she assisted with handing us refills from our cooler and kept the music of our choice playing. She made our day absolutely fabulous! We will definitely book her again when we’re back for another visit.

Karla and Dan were both great. I communicated with Karla to get trip details planned and Dan her husband was our captain. He was a fun captain. Super laid back. The boat was really nice too. Party of 10 celebrating a birthday and had plenty of room.
