Carolina Grace

Carolina Grace offers an unforgettable floating setting for events on Lake Norman, departing from Cornelius, North Carolina. The 100-foot luxury yacht gives organisers a distinctive alternative to a conventional function room, combining open-water views with the comfort and service expected for a polished private occasion.

The yacht is available throughout the year and can welcome intimate groups as well as celebrations of up to 100 guests. Its heated upper deck helps make the experience viable beyond the warmest months, while the private cabin provides useful space during an event. The format works especially well for occasions where the journey itself is part of the programme, allowing guests to socialise, dine and enjoy changing lakeside scenery during their charter.

Weddings are a clear speciality, with Carolina Grace suited to ceremonies, receptions and rehearsal dinners for couples seeking a relaxed yet refined nautical backdrop. Corporate organisers can also use the vessel for team gatherings, client entertainment and appreciation events, creating a more memorable setting than a standard meeting venue. Private charters cater for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and holiday celebrations.

Event packages include a captain and crew, alongside practical essentials such as tables, chairs, linen rentals and bartenders. Hosts can discuss beverage arrangements, from a cash bar to a hosted or tailored bar format. For planners looking to bring guests together on the water, Carolina Grace pairs professional onboard support with the atmosphere of a Lake Norman cruise.
