Tega Cay Marina & Boat Rentals sits at the southern end of Lake Wylie, South Carolina, in a protected cove just 20 minutes from downtown Charlotte, part of the Denton Marina Group. The full-service marina offers covered and open wet slips, a fuel dock with 89 octane gasoline, and a Ship’s Store carrying marine lubricants, boating supplies, snacks, and fishing gear.
The rental fleet includes 14 pontoon boats, offering 10-passenger capacity with powerful 150 HP or 115 HP engines, plus kayak rentals and guided fishing trips. Every rental includes a full tank of gas, with rental durations of 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours, or full-day and half-day options. Float add-ons are available at checkout. Notably, the business doesn’t rent jet skis, and towing or tubing isn’t permitted due to insurance regulations; pets also aren’t allowed aboard.
Rates run $250 to $675 depending on duration and boat, with a refundable $400 damage deposit required (boats returned with sand on the prop or motor forfeit the full deposit, since beaching can damage the propeller and impeller). Renters must be 25 or older with a valid driver’s license. Overnight rentals are available on weekends (Friday-Sunday) or weekdays (Monday-Thursday), sun-up to sun-down only, with captain services available with 7 days’ advance booking.
With 117 reviews at a 4.5 average, Tega Cay Marina & Boat Rentals has built a solid reputation as a straightforward, no-hidden-fees rental option on Lake Wylie’s southern end.
For visitors and locals on Lake Wylie looking for a pontoon or kayak rental, or a guided fishing trip, Tega Cay Marina & Boat Rentals offers a well-established, full-service marina operation just outside Charlotte.
