Whether you choose the classy "Le Bon Vie" or sassy "Island Castaway" 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!

Sometimes you just need a bigger boat! Island Castaway is capable of carrying up to 30 passengers in unparalleled tiki splendor and comfort. She features a refrigerator, a full bathroom, plenty of bar and table seating, a dance area and a great sound system for all your favorite music. On board, you will also find cornhole, limbo, hula hoops, ring toss, and plenty of other fun. Island Castaway is available for both private charters and public outings.

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 Castaway" 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 Castaway" 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.

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 U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains. Your safety is our top priority.

We offer a much better boat! Many so-called charter operators on the lake operate on nothing more than an average pontoon boat with no way to escape the heat, no restroom facilities, and sometimes (oh the stories we hear) no running engine!

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.
