Ride Wake & Surf Co has been Lake Norman’s #1 rated boating experience since 2018, specializing in private watersports charters, pontoon boat charters, wakeboarding and wake surfing lessons, kids watersports summer camps, and wake boat rentals. The business holds the highest number of reviews with a perfect 5.0-star rating and the 2024 & 2025 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award.
As an official MasterCraft Experience Partner and Balise Pontoon Boats Partner, the fleet is refreshed every season with brand-new boats — currently 2026 MasterCraft X24, XT24, and NXT24 models plus 2026 Balise Horizon Tritoons (400 HP). Every charter, lesson, and camp is fully inclusive of a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Captain or professional instructor, brand-new premium gear from Liquid Force, Soulcraft Wake Surf, WOW Watersports, and Mission Outdoors, and all fuel expenses — with pricing charged by time, not by person.
Wake Boat Charters let guests design their ultimate lake day with wakeboarding, wake surfing, foiling, tubing, cruising, or anchoring at Lake Norman’s top hangouts. Pontoon Boat Charters offer luxury cruising aboard the tritoon fleet, well suited to island-hopping, waterfront restaurant visits, or a bachelorette party. Wake & Surf Lessons (on the business’s boats or the guest’s own) suit any age or skill level. Kids Summer Camp gives young riders a chance to learn wakeboarding, wake surfing, tubing, and swimming behind the MasterCraft fleet. New MasterCraft Wake Boat Rentals also let experienced boaters self-captain a multi-day rental.
Rates start from $289. Departures run from boat slips at Inland Sea Marina (114 Bowfin Cir., Mooresville) or with pickup directly from a guest’s waterfront/vacation home; a second location also operates on Lake Lanier.
For anyone on Lake Norman looking for a top-rated wake boat charter, pontoon charter, wake/surf lesson, or kids summer camp, Ride Wake & Surf Co offers an award-winning, fully inclusive operation.
