About Brian

“I have 24 years of boating experience from small ski boats to twin engine motor yachts with most of that experience on Lake Norman. I enjoy meeting new people and aim to make sure guess have a fun time, feel welcomed and relaxed. They will never be a dull moment with me captaining, and guests love my willingness to go the extra mile. ”

    Captain Brian was amazing! Super friendly and knows how to entertain a group of grown ups with kids. We went tubing, hung out and played on the slide, went to the sand bar. So much fun!! It’s no wonder he has so many 5 star reviews. Highly recommend!

    Brian was an amazing guy to meet and have captain this trip. Super kind, friendly, fun, helped blow up rafts we brought, allowed us to use his boat’s speaker system for music, was exceptional at communication and making sure we were happy and in great spots on the lake, and just went above and beyond. It didn’t feel transactional at all, felt like a friend. Highly recommend.

    Brian was a great captain and super accommodating. Experienced being on Lake Norman. A few of our group members showed up late and allowed us to hangout around his dock, which is incredible as well. A+

    Wonderful time with the kids, there were 5 of us and more than enough room, the upper deck slide was so much fun. There were plenty of floating devices to lounge on in the water, super clean and wonderful !

    Brian was absolutely fantastic! Communication leading up to the trip was great. The boat was clean, had so many extra fun items like a tube and rafts, and Brian was a perfect caption. He made us feel completely at ease and the trip was wonderful. I can’t recommend him enough!

    Captain Brian is the absolute best and his boat is amazing too. Our kids LOVED the slide and the tube (so did the adults :)) Captain Brian navigated us around the lake and we were able to relax without worrying about driving, anchoring etc. He knows all the fun places. This is the second time we’ve rented his boat/captain services and look forward to doing it again soon! Thanks again!

    Our Lake Norman experience was made whole because of Captain Brian!! He was communicative from the start and made each person on board feel safe and cared for. He showed us various parts of the lake and made the experience so fun! Captain Brian, we could not thank you enough for sharing your boat with us! THANK YOU!

    Brian was not just a friendly, skillful Sailor, which he certainly was, but the kind of great guy that offered to take my phone down into the water to take the best pics possible of the kids driving from the top deck since I never planned on getting in the water myself,an kind used the slide first, dove from the second level, and walked up on the sandbar first when he saw the kids we’re a little unsure. We will definitely look for Captain Brian our

    The boat was better than expected, and I went in with high expectations. It was sizable and easily fit my large group of 10. The upper deck was an added bonus, the slide was so fun and overall 10/10 experience. However, I would specify when booking whether you want the mat or tubing because our group was looking forward to that experience.
