Our story
Built for Lake Norman.
Latitude 36 Charters is built around a simple idea: give guests an easy, private way to experience Lake Norman. Your captain handles navigation, docking and the details so your group can focus on the water, the scenery and each other.
Whether it's a sunset cruise, a relaxed afternoon on the water, or a special occasion, every charter is private — just your group and your captain.
Charters are operated in accordance with applicable U.S. Coast Guard passenger limits and safety requirements.
What we stand for
How we operate
Private & personal
Every charter is booked exclusively for your group. No strangers, no crowds — just your people and the lake.
Safety first
Your captain is U.S. Coast Guard licensed and operates in full compliance with passenger safety requirements.
Local knowledge
We know Lake Norman — the best coves, the right timing for sunset, and how to make the most of your time on the water.
Relaxed experience
You don't need to know anything about boats. Show up, settle in, and let us handle the rest.
