Customer Stories

"David put us on the water for a full demo before we ever talked price. We drove the AquaPatio at 52 MPH on Lake Lanier and the decision made itself. We saved $22,000 over the Mercury option and got a faster boat. Our kids haven't stopped talking about it since the day we brought it home."

"I came in thinking I wanted Mercury — that's what I'd always heard was the best. David showed me the actual performance test data side by side. Honda hit 52 MPH, Mercury hit 51.4 with 50 more horsepower. The Honda was also $18,000 less. I felt like I was getting away with something. Best purchase I've made in years."

"Jeff at Lake Norman was incredible. We had three kids under 10 and no idea what size boat we needed. He spent two hours with us, walked us through every option, and put us on the water in two different boats before we made a decision. No pressure, no rush. The price was better than anywhere else we looked in the Charlotte area."

"We've bought three boats over the years from different dealers. Carefree is the first one that felt like they actually cared whether we got the right boat. David walked us through the Honda vs. other engine options with real data, not just a sales pitch. Three years later, the boat runs perfectly and the service team has been outstanding."

"We wanted the biggest, fastest pontoon on Lake Lanier. David delivered. The 28-foot Monaco with the BF350 hits 52 MPH and turns heads every time we're on the water. The on-water demo sealed it — we drove it at full speed and knew immediately this was the boat. The Honda pricing made it possible when the Mercury version was out of our budget."

"Jeff made the whole process easy. We live 20 minutes from Lake Norman and had been looking for the right pontoon for two summers. Jeff matched us with the perfect AquaPatio, handled all the financing paperwork, and had the boat ready to go in a week. First weekend out, our whole neighborhood wanted to know where we got it."
