Carolina Boat Rentals offers premium pontoon boat rentals, waverunner rentals, and guided pontoon boat tours on Lake Norman, North Carolina, based in Cornelius with launch points at Ramsey Creek Park and Blythe Landing in Huntersville. The business serves families, groups, couples, and thrill-seekers looking for either a relaxed cruise or a higher-energy day on the water.

Pontoon rentals are scheduled by appointment, with the boat fully prepared and waiting in the water at the reserved time. Half-day (4-hour) rentals run Monday through Friday, while full-day (8-hour) rentals are available Saturday and Sunday. For those with waterfront access, boat delivery is available directly to a private dock on Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, or Mountain Island Lake, with custom pricing based on location and duration. Multi-day and weekly rentals are also available.

For guests who’d rather sit back and enjoy the ride, guided pontoon boat tours let one of the company’s experienced captains navigate scenic routes around Lake Norman, and waverunner rentals are available for those wanting more excitement on the water.

Rental requirements include a valid driver’s license, a major credit card, a $300 cash security deposit, and a minimum age of 37. Reservations are final once booked, with no cancellations or refunds after securing an appointment, and pets are not permitted on any boat in the fleet. A 3% sales tax applies, and fuel costs are not included in base pricing.

For visitors and locals on Lake Norman looking for a pontoon rental, guided tour, or waverunner, Carolina Boat Rentals offers a well-reviewed, multi-location operation with delivery service available across three area lakes.
