"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 Girl" is ideal for birthday parties, children's parties, reunions, work / team building events, or just hanging out on the lake!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.
