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.

Morningstar completely lost my trust when they charged us for "cosmetic damage" to the boat. We didn't run into other boats. We didn't have trouble docking. We had a sober captain the whole time..

However, it ended up a disaster due to credit card holds and fines.... When we arrived back to the Marina, we were told that a GPS had sensed we were too close to the beach and they would need to do a full inspection of the boat. A $2000 hold was put on our credit card, for what seemed like forever!! The problem? The boats already had heavy wear and tear prior to our using them (they looked pretty old). There were no pictures or pre-inspection done with the party, so I question how they know what party caused the damage. When I asked the manager for any proof the damage was caused by our party, he said something along the lines of "We just know, we looked before". The boat is taken it multiple times a week and we were very cautious about keeping the boat damage-free (raising the trim, using buoys etc.,). My question for Morning "one"star... Did going too close to the beach cause the radio to break as well? (it was never working from the start) based on their logic we should replace that too. In the end we were charged a hefty fine with no real way to do anything about it. Part of me wonders if it was because we were all in our mid-20s and easy targets, hmmmm.

Last October I found my dream Cobalt Cuddy cabin 243 from a private seller living on lake Norman. I live across the country in Reno, NV and the boat had no trailer for transporting it. I called around to a few dealerships in the area, but when I spoke to Mike at Boat Sales of Lake Wylie I knew I had found the place to get the trailer. Over the phone Mike was very responsive to helping spec the trailer out and always there to answer questions and concerns. Plus got me a great price on the EZ Loader tandem axle trailer. After a 2500 mi drive I arrive to Lake Wylie and meet Mike and the team at the dealership, and get to see the new new trailer. Beautiful heavy duty trailer that exceeded expectations. The plan was to pick the trailer up the next morning (a Friday), load my boat at Lake Norman and head home. Well, when the trailer came out of the water all the trailer lights had gone out. I knew that wouldn't work for a 2500 mi trip home. So at 2pm Friday I call Mike and tell him what's going on and he says get the trailer and boat back here and we will figure it out. Now it's about 3 pm when I get back to the dealership and the guys from the shop and parts department are all over it trying to problem solve the electrical issue. Anyone that has worked on wiring issues knows it can be a frustrating journey chasing a short, but these guys by 4:30pm found it and got me on my way home. I've got to say in all my years I've never had a friendlier caring group as these people are working together in a business. It helped reaffirm there's still hope for our society...lol. I've ran corporate business operations for a few decades before retiring and I would be proud to have had any of the people at Boat Sales as an employee. Truly the best experience with a business in a long time. Thanks again Mike!

One of the main highlights these yacht clubs all share is the quality and high level staff and management to make your visit memorable. Well, unfortunately this isn't something the Peninsula Yacht Club shares with them. I've recent resigned my membership and have shipped my boat back to the service I'm accustom to on the Great Lakes. I've never experienced such poor leadership and management while paying for a membership in my 20+ years of boating. Let me begin by saying Kathee Dishner and her lack of visibility of being the General Manager at PYC and the fact she makes no effort getting to know her members is a disgrace to this yacht club and the paying members. She is 100% the reason I resigned after being a member for 5 years. Safe Harbor should be concerned and should reevaluate their choice in having her lead PYC if they are trying to retain members and grow their business. In January 2023 I witnessed Kathee Dishner and her staff engaged in a gross and inappropriate confrontation with multiple members in the lobby after these said members had a 20+ attendee surprise birthday party in their bar. Once again there was no appreciation displayed for our patronage and after this incident many of us never returned to use the amenities of the club. Secondly, I've never experienced the amount of employee turnover at a club that I have at PYC. This is a direct reflection of the poor management and their lack of appreciation for the young men and women who are there to service the PYC members. I do have to pay respect to Mr. Harry Smith who is the marina manager. He and his staff are clearly hands above the shining stars at PYC. They are always there to help in any fashion. Although, Safe Harbor has spent a massive amount of money updating and renovating their clubhouse there has been zero invested in the marina itself other than new gates that never work correctly. The docks themselves have structural issues, the electricity on M-Dock is far underpowered for the size and amount of boats and this has been brought to their attention with no concern. Every month your electric bill is incorrect and multiple customer boats have had electrical component failures due to poor power conditions. I would highly NOT recommend PYC if you are looking for a place that will provide you with great service where you are valued as a member.
