I'm a first time boat owner, so I was nervous about where I should take my boat for service. But the excellent reviews on google speak for themselves! I called to see when I could come in for a look over and oil change. They got me right in & out as well as gave me some tips for using the boat. I couldn't be happier with my experience here at Carolina Marine and Cycle. This place is my permanent boat repair shop & I'm recommending them to everyone I know with a boat!

Huge Thanks for the Help & Conversation!…read more Hey Gear It Up Crew, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the awesome job you did helping me out with my RV situation. From the moment we started talking, it was clear I was in good hands. You didn't just fix the issue -- you walked me through everything, answered all my questions (and there were a lot!), and somehow managed to keep things light even when it got a little messy. Your service was top-notch, but what really stood out was the way you treated me -- like a neighbor, not just another ticket. That kind of care and conversation goes a long way, especially when you're stressed and feeling a bit like a "why did I leave the black tank valve closed?" moment personified. Thanks again for getting me back on track, and for making a frustrating experience feel a lot more human. Y'all are seriously appreciated. All the best, Rose

He was ask to clean boat charged $140 for washing the outside water line only. He was asked to check it out well the battery was dead, one wheel had bad therefore oil slung out . Needless to say I'm furious. The worst job, He obviously just took advantage of a senior man. Sure ruined a Memorail week end for the family. Only glad the boat was checked before putting of my husband and I taking it out in the water. I crinch with thought of my husband and I getting stranded in the water. WORSE SERVICE

We brought our new to us pontoon boat to them to put on a water pump that we had for it , we asked…read morethem to go through the motor replace seals if needed and make sure it's water ready and fix a broken plastic piece. they had it for 2 1/2 months supposedly waiting for the part .... finally we got it back $500 later..... 2 months later we broke down 7 miles from the boat landing on lake tillery we lost the lower haof to our motor. So apparently they never fixed the broken plastic piece and maybe glued it! They never replaced any seals and charged us the $500!!!! I called and got absolutely nowhere with them!!! I definitely will not ever bring anything there again! Stay away from this place!

The best place ever to buy your boat, we compared them all and came back to purchase here. We dealt…read morewith Ed as our salesman. He was exceptional. The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Highly recommend. Tina Marie We purchased our pontoon from Foothills Marie of Lake Norman and could not be more pleased with the outstanding service and value in all departments. My wife and I visited several boat dealers in the Lake Norman area and settled here at Foothill Marine. We were greeted by a pleasant attentive staff and a very clean show room. My wife and I would like to thank ED in sales who took great care of us right from the start. Ed is extremely knowledgeable in explaining all of the differences of several models and layouts. He made sure that all of our questions were answered. Foothills Hills Marie has a wide selection of boats to choose from and made our experience a pleasure, no pushy sales pitches whatsoever. They delivered our pontoon in perfect order as promised. ED went over the entire pontoon prior to us heading out. We had a GPS/fishfinder installed as well as the second battery prior to pickup. The install was done professionally on both units and delivered on time. Ed did a fantastic job keeping us up-to-date on the delivery and made sure everything was going smoothly as promised. He checked in on us on us after the sale as well to make sure we are 100% satisfied and to see if we needed anything. We would also like to thank Danya in the finance department who made our purchase go very smoothly and had all of our documents in order and ready to go right on time as well. We were then greeted by Josh who thanked us for our business at foothills Marine and discussed the proper break in procedures and answered any questions or concerns we had. Josh put us on the water and made sure everything on board was working as it should. He verified the Coast Guard package that was included on board and took us out to get comfortable with our new pontoon. Foothills Marine is a class act. We couldn't be happier with The professionalism, honesty and all-around good nature working with the Marine dealer who truly enjoys what they do and do it very well. We are really enjoying our new pontoon and wouldn't hesitate to do business with the foothills marina Lake Norman in the future. Stop in and see their selections and meet their staff. They will take great care of you. Dan

I live in Raleigh, NC. I bought a boat in Surfside Beach, SC after driving down to look it over…read more This was at the end of May, 2025. In early June 2025, I hired Shane and SS Marine & RV Service for a pre-purchase inspection and received a very clean bill of health. It was on blocks so I also needed to buy a trailer. I worked with Shane and paid for a trailer and went ahead and bought 2 power poles, a new fuse box, 2 new batteries, a 9-inch chartplotter, 48" guide rails, and a full boat cleaning and detailing. After it sat in the previous owners driveway another month, It was finally moved.  And that is when things came off the rails. * The new trailers were "delayed"... It's mid-May 2026 and I've yet to see a trailer, although we've allegedly gone through 4 different options he claimed to have secured for me. * The power poles supplier shipped the wrong poles...then Shane thought the poles wouldn't hold the boat so a different pair was to be provided...I've yet to see my 2 power poles. * I've yet to see the new fuse box. * As for the 48" Guide rails for the trailer.  Have not seen the trailer OR these since there IS no trailer.  * I've yet to see the new chartplotter/electronics. * I traded Shane a new depth finder for a Bluetooth radio to be integrated into the 9" screen.  I've yet to see that. * I've seen zero proof that any work has been performed on my boat.  I've asked numerous times for pictures and videos but he finds ways to avoid sending them. * I drove 3.5 hours to pick up the boat just for him to tell me he noticed a gas tank leak. He said he would replace it but I've seen no proof that has been done. * On a separate occasion, I drove 3.5 hours again to be told my motor won't start...no Compression.  Worked out a deal to trade my motor for a repower.  He sent pictures to confirm my motor had been removed but no new motor has been confirmed back on the boat.  "I don't typically send pictures to customers!" * Shane has missed 15 confirmed Dates of Delivery, with one being where he just never showed up.  He claimed he told his secretary to call...  And these are dates HE set.  Just recently I got the, "I promise on my mother's grave we're sticking to this date!"  Yes...  we missed it. * The endless list of excuses range from his suppliers missing deadlines or not delivering the items I bought, more issues he's found but can't prove he's repaired them, his employees not returning from vacation, one employee allegedly getting held up, employees having family emergencies, Shane having family emergencies, car accidents, shooting scenes in the Netflix series "Outerbanks" (no I'm not making that up), and even his employees not receiving phone calls or texts so he could verify what work is being done. * He will tell me how much money HE is investing in my project to make it right, but 11-months in, there is zero progress other than he's proven hes removed my original motor.  And he will remind you that you are not his only customer as many times as you ask for updates. * Including my boat and the missing trade-in value of the motor he has removed, he is sitting on  $15,000 of my property and services not provided. And, we have the receipts he peovided. I've paid Shave via wire transfer across state lines over $7,500 and after 11-months, I have nothing to show, and cant even get to my boat since he keeps it behind his locked gates at storage yards. Shane says all the right things but proves none of the things he says.  If he tells you he will call you tomorrow, that means hes call you in 3-4 days, if calls at all.
