Island Vibes Boat Rental and Charter

Get ready to set sail and leave the stress of daily life behind aboard Lake Norman’s finest charter yachts.

Whether you choose the classy "Le Bon Vie" or sassy "Island Girl" tiki barge, Island Vibes Charter is all about good times, good music, and a laid back attitude. Come cruise with us and let the sunshine and waves carry you away.

"Le Bon Vie" which means “The Good Life” is a meticulously maintained Azimut Atlantis Italian sport yacht. At just over 41’ she features ample open air seating options for up to 12 guests, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large salon and galley, three air conditioners and an extremely comfortable and settled ride, not to mention an amazing sound system with 28 speakers and sub-woofers in 4 different sound zones!

"Island Girl" is a 400 Sq. ft. floating tiki paradise ready to host up to 18 guests in unparalleled island life glory! She features a full tiki bar with under bar lighting, Adirondack chairs for catching some rays, Bluetooth sound system for keeping the party going and an onboard marine head (bathroom) for your convenience. Sailing aboard "Island Girl" is truly a unique and memorable experience.

Which boat should I choose? Well, both of our girls (boats) are amazing, but definitely show it off in different ways. "Le Bon Vie" is classy, elegant and sophisticated. She exudes sleek Italian design and offers you a cruise in unparalleled comfort. She is ideal for romantic getaways, birthday parties, bar hopping cruises and company functions.

While....... Her younger sister ship "Island Girl" just refuses to act right! She's fun, spunky and unconventional. Like her guests, she lets her hair down and lives for the moment enjoying the sunshine and sand. She attracts attention wherever she goes and definitely dances to the beat of her own tiki drum!

Island Vibes Charter offers several charter options, both private (you get the whole boat) and public (pull up a chair and meet some nice people!) all with the peace of mind of knowing that you will be taken care of by a U.S. Coast Guard certified master captain with years of experience boating on Lake Norman. Plus the comfort that comes with being aboard professionally maintained and operated vessels. Island Vibes boat rental and Charter is fully licensed and insured. Our charter boats set sail from All Seasons Marina and our rental boats and paddlesports operate from our docks at The Lake Norman Landing.

Why do people choose Island Vibe Charter?

Captain Ronnie

We are a legal charter operator that has undergone the rigorous certification and inspection process with the Lake Norman Marine Commission. Fully licensed and insured, we are compliant with all applicable state, local and federal regulations.

We only hire experienced US Coast Guard licensed captains. Your safety is our top priority.

We offer a 5% discount for all police and active and retired military.

We also offer a 10% discount for guests staying at The Landing Hotel.

Robin (Steward)

If you would like to step the service up to the highest level, you may opt to have a steward onboard your yacht. Our steward Robin has over 20 years experience in the guest service and hospitality industry, serving as a flight attendant, and working with boats for the last five years. She is available to help serve your meals, assist with drinks, water toys etc. she is CPR AED, and basic emergency medical service trained. You can book a stewards service for a flat $150 / 4 hours or $200 / 8 hours.

Do I need my own insurance to rent a boat?

You do not need boat insurance when renting with Boatsetter. Coverage is provided under the Peer-to-Peer Boat Rental Policy, which is underwritten by GEICO Marine Insurance Company. The policy was written from the ground up as a stand-alone recreational boat rental insurance policy covering the period of time that the boat is being rented and is available for all non-commercially insured boats.

Does Boatsetter screen renters?

Yes. We use a system called Cognito to ensure that payment information matches the renter's identity. We also require renters taking out a captained boat to be at least 18 years old and on a bareboat to be at least 25 years old.

Is listing my boat on Boatsetter free?

Yes! Listing a boat is completely free. We only take a commission when your boat is rented. We only make money when you do!

What if I'm not comfortable having a renter drive my boat?

If you are not comfortable having a renter drive your boat, we have an expansive network of licensed and experienced captains. Once your boat is listed, you can filter through our network of captains and favorite captains in your area that you would like to operate your boat.
