About
Enjoy a two hour private sunset cruise aboard Lake Norman's most unique boat, “Island Girl”, our Brazilian hardwood floating tiki paradise! You and your crew will be able to direct your captain where you would like to go and what you would like to see while enjoying your private tour of the lake. Or if you want your captain to take charge, we’ve got a great route that we can follow to give you and your friends amazing views of the lake and some of the best sunsets available. There will be time to swim for those who want to before returning to port as the sun slips beneath the water and the tiki lights start flickering. This cruise includes light snacks and non alcoholic beverages. Guests are welcome to bring their own dinner and alcoholic beverages.
*Please note that beer, champagne and wine are all allowed onboard Island Girl, but state law prohibits liquor being carried onboard open vessels on Lake Norman.
