New boat permits required for Lake Norman. How are they being enforced?

LAKE NORMAN, N.C. — With Labor Day weekend upon us, many families will venture out on our lakes, including Lake Norman. But in an effort to prevent so many tragedies we’ve seen there, the Lake Norman Marine Commission implemented some new rules earlier this year.

After hearing concerns from people who live and work on the lake, 9 Investigates how well those rules are being followed.

The pristine waters of Lake Norman draw people in from all over.

“It’s a great time,” said Matt Ryan, a captain for Carolina Cruising Charters.

“It’s over 100 feet deep in the deep parts, and it gets wavy and it gets rough.”

Ryan knows the waters well. His company has four permitted charter boats.

“They’re boat rentals with a captain we pay for. We have everything included,” he said.

If you want to drive a rental boat yourself or pay a captain for a charter boat, you need to have a permit on Lake Norman. The permit from the Lake Norman Marine Commission comes with a sticker.

Lake Norman permits If you want to drive a rental boat yourself or pay a captain for a charter boat, you need to have a permit on Lake Norman. The permit from the Lake Norman Marine Commission comes with a sticker.

The permits are part of new regulations the commission put in place last year. They help keep people safe on what the Lake Norman Marine Commission calls the state’s most dangerous body of water.

John Johnson is on the commission and said the permit ensures the rental company has met all requirements:

• A safety inspection of the vessel
• A hired captain (who must have a captain’s license with the U.S. Coast Guard)

“We found that more than half of our fatalities are involving rental vessels — either charters or rentals, more than half,” Johnson said.

Ryan said his captains see dangerous scenarios all the time.

“It’s anything you can imagine. Boats cutting everywhere, boats riding too close, near-misses. We see boat crashes all the time,” he said.

Enforcement

Channel 9′s Hunter Sáenz asked Ryan what he’s seen since the regulations have been put in place.

“I think they’re great,” Ryan said. “The only problem is, there’s not a lot of enforcement on them.”

“We know of hundreds of illegal charters,” he added.

Sáenz found the same online: Boats available for rent but not on the list of permitted boats. He called several rental companies not on that list to ask why.

“The requirement for the sticker is only Mecklenburg County — it’s not Lake Norman-wide,” a representative for one company said.

But that’s not true. A permit is needed on all of Lake Norman.

Ryan and Johnson said compliance wouldn’t be an issue if there was more enforcement from agencies all around the lake. But with more than 500 miles of shoreline on Lake Norman, officers have to respond to all sorts of incidents and can’t be everywhere all the time.

Ryan said some rental companies that are breaking the rules know exactly which ramps to use where they won’t be caught.

“They’re moving up the lake to maybe Beattys Ford access area in Denver, maybe moving up to Hager Creek, their pinnacle access area,” Ryan said. “They’re moving positions to try to still be able to do what they’re doing.”

And Sáenz heard that in one of his calls with an unpermitted charter.

“From what we were told, it was only for Mecklenburg County locations that you’re docking out of,” they said.

“Gotcha, so, if you were to put in in Iredell, you wouldn’t need it?” Sáenz asked.

“Right, if you put in in Iredell, no one bothers you,” they said.

Moving forward

Johnson said something needs to change to keep the waters and those on them safe.

“We’ve seen an improvement so far this year,” Johnson said. “Now, has that stopped it from happening? No. Has it reduced? Yes.”

As of Aug. 1, the lake commission only has 12 charter companies registered with permits. But they know there are dozens more companies operating boats.

A person can be fined up to $500 for renting a boat that doesn’t have one of the two permits. The people renting them out could face the same fine or jail time if they’re caught without them.

So how can someone be sure the company they’re renting from is legitimate?

No matter what, if you don’t see one of the two permit stickers — one for a boat rental or one for a charter rental — then, it’s not permitted. You’ll see it right on the side of the boat.

IMPULSIVE I

Bella vista, weathersfield, what our clients have to say:.

“Now for the 7th year running, we have been so fortunate to have joined the Nova Entertainment team on the annual Christmas Cruise aboard AQA. The experience on AQA is unrivalled – from the welcome as you board, to the service provided by the wonderfully skilled and friendly staff. The refreshments and food provided is always of the highest quality and the environment of being on Sydney’s spectacular harbour in an equally spectacular superyacht is one the highlights of our year. Thankyou Sydney Harbour Yacht Charter for providing the luxury and the experience.” Rosy Sullivan, CEO, Australian College of Professionals

“We recently experienced a business Christmas function aboard AQA. We have been lucky enough to have experienced this luxury cruise a few times. We again had a great time. Staff were welcoming and made us feel very special, even with the ongoing COVID restrictions. The food was top shelf and bar service was easy and always available. They also had clay pigeon shooting which was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of chartering a luxury boat on Sydney Harbour, to go no further. This team have it all….One of our best experiences. “ John Hall, Nobby Kitchens

Corporate Boat Hire In Sydney

Need a boat charter for a cruise with colleagues, clients or partners? At Eastcoast Sailing, we provide function boats for businesses looking to host corporate events on Sydney Harbour!

Whether it’s a day charter to build team rapport offshore or an evening event to impress investors, cruising Sydney Harbour is a sure way to leave a lasting impression on stakeholders.

The teams must navigate around a set course to increase the competition, and the excitement. Guests are encouraged to rotate around the crewing positions on the sailing yacht, including main sheet, headsail, navigator, captain and even steering the helm.

We have several racing yachts on our fleet suitable for corporate cruises and sailing regatta days. These include Margaret Rintoul V, and the Beneteau First 40 racing yacht.

‘Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the day, especially our international guests. The weather was perfect and the crew were very friendly which made it a very enjoyable day for the team. The food was beautiful, and thanks to the skipper for showing us all the beautiful sights of Sydney Harbour. Will definitely be in contact again for future team events.

Aquabay is a 70-foot European styled sports cruiser. Available for charter on Sydney Harbour, Aquabay can host up to 35 passengers for a wide range of events or 6 guests for an overnight charter. 

A Sydney Harbour bareboat charter is one of those experiences that will stay with you long after you’ve set sail for home and what better playground than Sydney Harbour and its surrounds? The best way to explore everything that Sydney harbour has to offer is to take control and do it on your own terms and in your own time. Be your own captain on your Sydney bareboat charter for a day or longer and set sail to wherever the wind takes you.

A Sydney bareboat charter is something you should experience any time of the year. In summer, a north-easterly sea breeze whips up on the harbour every afternoon providing some of the best boating conditions. Your Sydney bareboat charter will not only provide you with an exhilarating experience but Sydney’s sunsets will leave a long lasting impression on you and those close to you. Come wintertime, that north-easterly turns into a south-south westerly and the flat harbour, stiff breeze and less harbour traffic provide you with ideal conditions for you to hoist your sails and sail free.

On your Sydney bareboat charter you are the captain. If you are after something is a little more laid back, then the ideal place for you to sit back, relax and soak in the Sydney skyline is Athol Bay. Set on the western side of Bradleys Head, Athol Bay is the perfect Sydney bareboat charter choice. Nestled in just below Taronga Zoo, and with a magnificent cityscape view, you can set anchor while the family enjoys a bit of swimming, surfing, and fishing or just recline and enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Athol Bay is one of many beaches that your Sydney bareboat charter can take you on. Offering a breathtaking view of Sydney, Milk beach is one of the eastern suburb’s best-kept secrets. Situated at the base of Hermit Bay and within the Sydney Harbour National Park, Milk beach is one of those isolated locations that a dreamy Sydney bareboat charter is all about.

Just around the corner from Milk beach is the world famous Watsons Bay.  With destinations such as Doyle’s on the beach and the Watson Bay boutique hotel, you can settle in for an afternoon of outstanding views, a cocktail in hand and the warm bustle of a friendly crowd. Your bareboat charter Sydney is a flexible experience that you can shape into a long lasting memory.

For an overnight stay on your Sydney bareboat charter, why not sail into middle harbour and enjoy the serenity and peacefulness of Bantry Bay or Sugarloaf Bay. Both bays are idyllic and sheltered proving the perfect spots to lower your anchor, pour a glass of wine and enjoy your Sydney bareboat charter.

At Sailcorp, we currently have 4 vessels available for Sydney bareboat charter. For stability on any given day, the Seawind 1000 is the perfect vessel for a bareboat charter for a group of up to 12 people or a family of 6 for an overnight bareboat charter. Accommodating the same number of guests as the Seawind, are the Bavaria 40 and the Jeanneau 40 sailing yachts. Both these vessels are maintained at Sailcorp specifically for a bareboat charter Sydney experience. The smallest vessel in our Sydney bareboat charter fleet is the Bavaria 34. Nimble and very easy to handle, she can accommodate up to 11 guests for the day, or sleeps 4-6 people comfortably.

This varies from each vessel - We do have some vessels where the skipper stays onboard the vessel and others where the skipper gets off the vessel once moored.

Where does the vessel anchor?

This is dependent on the weather and winds on the night of your charter - the skipper will choose a nice secluded bay on the night
