We rented a 23-foot pontoon from Lake Hickory Pub and Marina for a full 8 hours, and our only…read morecomplaint is that apparently 8 hours can go by in about 20 minutes when you're having that much fun! There were 7 of us, so we split the cost, which made it a great deal. We debated doing the 4-hour rental, and THANK GOODNESS we didn't -- we would've been crying when they made us bring the boat back! The pontoon was super clean and in great shape. The owner himself came out, gave us a tour of the boat, and explained everything we needed to know before sending us off on Lake Hickory. Every single staff member we dealt with was friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience easy. Great boat, great people, great day with friends. We will definitely be doing this again. Next time we just need to figure out how to make 8 hours last longer! 5 stars all the way for Lake Hickory Pub and Marina!

Parking could be better, and a few…read moremore menu options would add some variety -- but honestly, it suits the laid-back pub atmosphere well. The bathrooms are clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Just know that this is primarily a bar, not a full sit-down restaurant, with limited seating outside of the bar area. There are board games and little knickknacks for kids (and adults, I suppose) to enjoy, though personally, it feels more like a spot for a casual night out with friends than a family outing. The food was decent -- nothing that blew me away, but nothing disappointing either. The burger was solid -- a safe, tasty choice. The spinach dip was quite good, though we couldn't tell if it was made in-house or bought. A quick note: the pita chips that come with the dip are crunchy, not soft. I didn't mind that, but my wife wasn't a fan. The nachos had a nostalgic, homemade quality. You know when you'd throw tortilla chips and shredded cheese in the microwave as a kid? It brought back that kind of vibe -- in a good way -- with a nice, old-school charm and a bit of an upgrade. Overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10, mainly for the friendly service and how accommodating the staff were with our large party.

I'm writing this review because I dropped my Tahoe/Avalon pontoon off at North Point Watersports…read morefor diagnosis and repair of a fuel delivery problem on JULY 11th 2024, and 4 months later they still haven't repaired the boat. I chose North Point because my boat and motor are under warranty and it may have been an issue that they could complete under warranty. Although I did not purchase my boat from North Point they stated they could do the warranty work as appropriate. As it turns out they said the problem was caused by faulty fuel that they said corrupted the VST on the outboard and would not be covered by warranty which I understand. However, 4 months is way too long to have a boat in any shop for a repair estimated at 4 hours total and no ETA for when they can have it fixed. Given my experience with North Point, I wouldn't be surprised to see a response to this review with more excuses or blame since they haven't taken ownership. Anyone considering purchasing a boat from North Point Watersports may want to consider the ability of this shop to effectively and efficiently provide service support following the sale. 10/22/2024 UPDATE: Today I picked up my boat from North Point still not running after they had it FOUR months. The only way I was able to get to this point was by filing a consumer complaint with the NC DOJ at https://ncdoj.gov/file-a-complaint/consumer-complaint/ Subsequently I dropped it off at another dealer who committed to having it running within two weeks or sooner

Dave (the owner) took the time to educate us on pontoons and asked us the right questions to suggest the best boat for our needs. We then visited every pontoon dealer within an hour of our home, just to end up back at North Point. A year later and we can not be happier. The boat itself has been everything we needed for our family. Dave and his team continue to provide great customer service whenever we have questions or need anything. Highly recommend North Point and Avalon Boats. Best quality for the price hands down!

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.

They will take great care of you. Dan
