About
Enjoy a two hour sunset cruise aboard Lake Norman's most unique boat! Take in the views while hanging out on Island Girl, our Brazilian hardwood custom tiki bar on the water (BYOB). We will make a 2 hour round trip while seeing sights such as Coctail Cove, Lake Normans most expensive house, the North Harbour Club, and Gas Saver Island, for anyone wanting to take a dip, before positioning ourselves to view the most beautiful sunsets that Lake Norman has to offer.
This cruise includes non alcoholic beverages and light snacks. Alcohol is not served aboard Island Girl but guests are allowed to bring their own along with any other food that they wish to enjoy.
*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.
