First time renting from Lake Effects Boat Rentals. We reserved a jet ski over Labor Day weekend. The check-in process and communications, Stutts marina store, and friendly staff were extraordinary. No issues with finding the location or parking. When we come back to Lake Norman, they'll absolutely be our destination again.

Second year renting a boat from Lake Effects. Perfect service and perfect boat! Rented the Tige wake boat this year for 3 days and it was awesome. Staff super friendly and very helpful (even though I changed the reservation to upgrade boat). The boat looked new and operated flawlessly. There was a bilge warning that came up and concerned me for a second so I texted them and they got back to me within a minute! I’d give it 6 stars if I could.

Looking for a boat rental at Lake Norman?? Use this place!! They were amazing and helpful in so many ways. They will deliver the boat if you rent for an extended period!! They helped answer all my questions and they were so friendly when I busted the marina with stupid questions!! Lol. I did not use them last year but will use them going forward for sure!! They are the best!

EDIT: I have confirmed on my receipt that this is the correct business. I even get your promotional email still.Did not have a good experience. Reserved (and paid deposit) for a boat with the toilet because we were going to be out all day. They must have double booked it because they tried to say that it was not available. After demanding our deposit back, it was magically available again. My wife and I had a wonderful time on the lakes, but, next time we will try a different company.

We rented a tritoon boat for a week during Summer and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. The boat was delivered early to our vacation rental, it was clean and really comfortable. We stopped at the lake effects marina for gas during the week and the dockhands could not have been nicer. Throughout our stay Lake effects checked in on us, via text, to be sure everything was going smoothly. We will definitely choose Lake Effects again for future stays.

Well The reservations got messed up my them, and they where very unforgiving and would no budge that "But we sent you an Email confirmation" when you have 18 guests in your house who has time to check emails? They would not budge. So we had booked 2 skis but they gave my cousin a reservation for the day before we wanted so we had 2 skis on 2 different days. What good is that if we wanted to enjoy our company on the lake together. Long story short, somone else had to call and ask for the manager and explain the situation that they where not going to loose any money and since the wrote the wrong date. Because on person cannot reserve 2 skis ( why is that? )So we had to make separate calls from diferente places.Anyway the Manager finnaly agreed to make it right. And we did the deed. 100+ Bucks for gas. And we had fun. Hut I still have a bad taste in the mouth from that hassle.If it was my buissnes I would make the experience a bit easier. The staff was great. But they could run a Friendlier buissnes.

We couldn't be more satisfied with the any boat rental, Lake Effects goes above and beyond, from high end tritoons in perfect condition, to the communication, and daily texts made renting from you a great experience. They are the nicest people to deal with, even went to their store and found some great things to take home....but it was the personable people that made it perfect. We'll definitely rent from them in the fall and next year's vacay.....delivering the tritoon and picking up was fantastic, thank you Lake Effects!!! The lil black welcoming bag couldn't have been nicer, can't say enough, it was an amazing week! Thank you all♥️♥️♥️

We rented a couple jet skis for a friend's birthday. There was a miscommunication about the dates and I rented mine a day too early. Drove out there and even checked in before I figured out what happened. The staff was understanding and let me move my rental to the next day without any additional charges. Both jet skis worked great and we had a good time on the water. My only real complaint is that they don't provide any kind of anchor, so if you want to hop off to swim you have to keep an eye on the jet ski and climb back on to move it if it drifts too close to something it shouldn't.

A great crew. If you rent the boat for 2 days or more they’ll deliver and pick it up. And they own a gas dock so they refuel it for you. (Most rental places you have to stop on your trip to return the boat to refuel, a real waste of time.) Easy and friendly.
