Pontoon Rentals on Lake Norman
A pontoon is the easiest way to do Lake Norman. Room to spread out, a smooth ride, shade up top, and space for the whole crew, the cooler, and the kids. Tiki Time Boat Rentals keeps a fleet of pontoons and tritoons in Mooresville, ready to go out every day from 9 AM to 9 PM, with rates from $75 an hour and a 4 hour minimum on every boat.
We are a family owned rental company rated 4.9 stars across more than 500 Google reviews. Drive the boat yourself, or hire an independent captain directly and spend the day in a lounge chair instead.

How a Pontoon Day Works
Book online or by phone, meet us at our marina in Mooresville, and we will walk you through the boat and the safety equipment before you head out. Parking at the marina is free. Prefer to start from your own dock? We deliver to most docks on Lake Norman for $75, and delivery is free at Big Dukes Lane in Mooresville.
Every pontoon goes out with a full tank. When you come back in, you simply pay for the fuel you used.
Drive It Yourself, or Hire a Captain
Our pontoons rent without a crew, and plenty of guests drive their own day. If you would rather not drive, we will share our list of independent captains. You hire the captain directly and pay the captain directly, $35 per hour. Tiki Time is a rental company, not a charter company, so the choice is always yours.
Perfect For
Family lake days, birthdays, bachelorette parties, visiting grandparents, fishing mornings on the Bentley, and sunset evenings on the water. If your group outgrows a pontoon, step up to a Funship or the Tiki Boat and keep everyone on one boat.
Areas We Serve
Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson, Denver, Huntersville, Troutman, Sherrills Ford, and Statesville. Pickup is in Mooresville, and delivery covers most docks on Lake Norman.

11. What happens if the weather turns bad?
If unsafe weather keeps a boat from launching, and that call is ours to make before you leave the dock, we will work with you to reschedule or credit your rental. Forecasts alone do not cancel a rental, because Lake Norman weather changes fast and most days turn out fine. Our full cancellation terms are confirmed at booking, and bookings made 30 days or more ahead can be cancelled for a full refund.
12. How do we book?
Book online any time at tikitimeboatrentals.com, or call or text us at 704-900-3567. Summer weekends fill up, so booking ahead is smart, especially for the Funships and the Tiki Boat.

Yes. Both Funships are double deckers with slides, and the Twin Tahoes pair two of them side by side.
18. Can we book an evening or sunset rental?
Yes. Rentals run within our 9 AM to 9 PM hours, and an evening block is a beautiful way to catch sunset on the lake. Every rental is still a 4 hour minimum, so plan your start time with sunset in mind.
