They have everything you could possibly want on their boat to enjoy a fun filled day out on the water! They have a bathroom, grill, cooler filled with ice, all kinds of floats, a paddle board, hammock seats, beer pong setup and even a putting green. They also have a great sound system with Bluetooth so you can hook up your phone or give them songs to play on theirs, we were easily the loudest boat in the cove! They really left no stone unturned when it came to having a great day on the lake. The atmosphere/vibe is super chill and they waited on us hand and foot whether it was getting us drinks from the cooler or bringing out different toys to have fun on. They have all kinds of drinking tools like funnels and even a four way beer shotgun. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a great day on the lake whether you are new to the area or have been going to lake Norman for years but just don't want the responsibility of bringing out the boat and would just rather relax.

Heather and Isaiah were our captains and delivered a smooth, comfortable trip (on a breezy day!), pointed out local sites of interest and Lake Norman landmarks, and shared some of the history of the area/fun facts. Captains did a really nice job of creating a good ambiance while also giving our group time to chat amongst ourselves while we enjoyed snacks from Table & Board. Heather and Isaiah managed timing perfectly so that we could make desired stops at Hello, Sailor and North Harbor Club, but still feel like we saw a good portion of the lake. Highly recommend!

She told me how her boats got vandalized last year and she doesn't want her boats down there. We were stuck, since all the other locations were sold out. We called to let them know some people in our party was running late so we'll pick it up at 11am instead of 10am, she said with a nasty attitude, " well the boat isn't going out much longer after that time". It was such an awful anxiety heighten experience especially being a retired veteran. I would not recommend this place to anyone even though they didn't have that same energy in person.

Stay and Play is located just off a main road, down a dirt path. Our original reservation had to be rescheduled because the weather did not permit us to get on the water.Libby allowed us to reschedule for another day. Now, whilst on the water we had a minor issue with our motor.Though it took them a little bit to locate another boat to get to us, Libby came to the rescue and saved the day. Since we had some complications that didn't allow us to fully enjoy the day, she even let us keep the pontoon a little longer than we were supposed to. She was responsive, flexible and generally very sweet despite the fact we called her 100 times throughout the day. I appreciate businesses who are courteous and put customers first. We will be returning many times this summer. Thanks stay & play!
