We Googled this place and the prices were amazing for four hour rental. We checked in and a guy named Tony was very helpful and funny and tries to get you out there as soon as possible. Once we paid we were asked to go with a gentlemen named Donald who was straight forward and an intimidating demeanor but I can respect since we renting a $20k boat and he would need to be. Very thorough with the rules and regulations and possible fines. Did a walk around looking for any major damage. He pulled the boat out for us and we went on our way. The four hours we rented, the nine of us couldn't have asked for a better idea! Our four hours was up and we returned the boat and Donald was waiting for us at the dock/gas pump. We went back in to see Tony at the counter as Donald filled up and did the check for damage. This is were this company left a bad taste in my mouth. Donald came back in and accused us of wrapping the rope around the prop. I have wrapped a robe around a prop and its not something that is easy to fix. So with that said, I said we did not do that and he insisted and told us the prop had marks and scratches from the rope. Then I was really baffled since I can't see how a rope can damage a steel/alumn. prop. He said the robe was torn up too. If I did something wrong or ruined the property I would have zero problems man'ing up and paying for it. But at the end of the day, the tip of the rope was fringed - your just looking to screw over some one from out of town. If you rent from some one, make sure you look at the scratches on, in and around the boat along with the ropes and take pictures if you need too, not a bad idea. Week day prices, can't beat them. The boats were in great shape and had zero problems with the performance Tony at the front desk was very helpful. Donald was very thorough, but I don't like the ball busting for a rope. He should know if a rope is wrapped around a prop, an amateur can't get a rope out of a prop - he should know that! I would go back, but I would take pictures of the entire boat first and any possible scratches or issues before I left.

Unprofessional....... I have been an avid boater for years, in and out of marinas and Terrys…read more.. well it's very SPECIAL - when it comes to storing your boat and customer relationship. The first impression I got when I was inquiring with Terry's about storage was they had about 60 slips open.. that set off some warning bells in my mind. Why are so many slips open? Well after digging, I see why, you are spending avg $2,500 a year to dry dock your boat, and it's not available year round.....it's closed Nov-March (we have warm winters you know, you can take a boat out, last Dec 2016 was 68 degrees out) .. (They said it's an $45 fee to get it down during those months) UNACCEPTABLE, for price I am paying.. also there is a $5 fee to get it down each time.... no other marina in charlotte does this. Tracking - No tracking system, every single dry dock marina they put a number on your boat so they can track it. Not at Terry's, I asked about this, they said, well the fork lift driver knows all the boats and your name, he's been doing it 40 years, so just call with your name and color of boat and he will get it down. I said what if he is sick... they were speechless. Terry's - Invest in a computer and inventory stickers that match the racks your boats go in. I call you with last-name and boat # Clutter... Oh...... the clutter. The dry storage building was horribly unclean, with old oil cans, rags, debris. Even when driving up to Terry's there is debris everywhere, rusted old docks, metal, old foam and just not good. Signage old, paint old, buildings not maintained. When answering phones, not professional menu or answered each time with just "hello" (I have to ask is this Terry's?) How about simply answer the phone "Terrys Marina, how can I help you"... Or a menu system, with information and dial caller... this would be 100x more professional. While I know they are trying, this is far from a place you want to park a new $50k boat. May be a jon boat. But... Feedback to make this place SHIP SHAPE: 1) CLUTTER - clean our the clutter 2) rebrand, repaint, hire professional staff 3) make your boat available year round, stop charging extra fees like $5 forklift fees 4) open a marine store 5) an fix up their docks (the fork lift dock is incredible, never seen anything like it.. wobbles and is a mess). 6) Get a phone system with directory 7) Offer fuel I would advise the staff there to PLEASE go visit your competitors... visit Marine Max across the street or Morning Star Marinas, now that's a marina. Unfortunately not impressed, will not get my business. 1 star.

I have never been to Charlotte NC before, and as I did my research on what to do, the US National…read moreWhitewater Center often came up as 1 of 2 must-visit attractions. Not being a real outdoorsy person, and only having whitewater rafted once, I felt the $89 day pass was very reasonable. I arrived at the USNWC at open time, and paid $13 for parking. Once parked, I lined up at the Outfitters center to sign up for activities. It was already busy, so I was probably in line for about 20 minutes to get my spot for whitewater rafting. They make it sound like you can only do whitewater rafting once, but after speaking to my guide, you can only have one reservation at a time. Once you finish you trip, you can immediately sign up again if there are spots. As I was there relatively early, I was schedule for a 10am rafting start, which gave me plenty of time to walk around the check out the area before getting to rafting. My general thoughts: - Whitewater rafting was terrific. It was the main focus of my visit, and completely made my day pass worth it. My guide was fun and informative. The conveyer belt bringing the raft back up was operational while I did it, but later in the day, it looked like the conveyer was out of service, so everyone had to carry the rafts back up, which is quite a bit of extra work. Between the heat and extra carrying, I decided not to go back, otherwise I would have. - The bin storage service made it easy to rent a bin to store my gear. It often had lines, so I would recommend minimize the number of times you need to access it. You can access as many times as you want. - I did the kayaking at the flatwater area. It was a much more relaxing area that you can go at your own-pace. - The ziplines were a bit disappointing, unless you pay extra for the longer lines. The lines that don't require reservations are very short, and frankly, not worth doing unless it's your first time trying it. - Most of the rock climbing areas were closed off, and the few areas open was packed with small children. So I decided not to try it. - Because by late day, it was getting uncomfortably hot, so i decided not to do the rope courses, but they looked pretty good. - Entry to the area is free, so a good number of visitors hang out just to have picnics and watch. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, only because of the whitewater rafting. It's much more affordable then what I could do back at home. The ziplines are good for first timers. Ropes courses looked good, and flatwater activities are nice to move at a more relaxed pace. I can see why it's a popular place.

The docks are normally infested with groups of teens swimming, tanning and imbibing in underage activities. But no hate and no shade. ** Honorable mention goes to fishing. My husband will come here every few weeks to get the line wet. He has yet to catch anything memorable but the ambience makes it worthwhile. There is also a very sparse play structure, some picnic tables and a restroom. We've renamed it the "murder bathroom" because it's dank and nasty.
