Departing From: Tailrace Marina (Mt. Holly)
Hunter and his crew have built a strong reputation for making boat days on Lake Wylie as smooth as possible. Communication is consistently praised, from the initial booking process through arrival, where someone is always on hand to greet guests and walk them through the boat. A nice touch that stands out is the educational videos and detailed lake map sent ahead of time, giving first-timers real confidence before they even step aboard. The boats themselves, mostly pontoons, arrive clean, gassed up, and well-maintained. Staff like Matt and Brandon have been called out by name for their helpfulness, particularly for guests learning to drive for the first time. Cancellations due to weather are handled quickly and without hassle, which clearly matters to a lot of people booking outdoor experiences. With a near-perfect rating across hundreds of reviews, this is a dependable choice for a fun, low-stress day on the water.
I had visitors coming in, so I reserved a tri-toon boat. My visitors were unable to come, so I cancelled my boat reservation. I cancelled without any issues and was refunded my deposit. I could not ask for any better. They were great to deal with!
