This isn’t a sales event. It’s a lake day, with some seriously fun boats in the water and a cold drink waiting for you at the dock.

Dyer Marine is pulling up to Papa Doc’s Shore Club on Lake Wylie this Sunday, May 31st, for a laid-back, on-the-water demo day. We’re bringing a lineup of boats straight to the docks — no pressure, no appointment, no pitch. Just show up, hop aboard, and find your lake day vibe.

What to Expect

We’ll have 2–4 boats in the water all afternoon, a mix of surf boats and pontoons, running continuous 10–15 minute demo rides from 12PM to 4PM. The idea is simple: get on a boat, feel what lake life actually feels like, and let the ride do the talking. We’re not here to sell you anything. We’re here to have a good time on the water, and we want you to come along for it.

Papa Doc’s Shore Club is the perfect backdrop for a Sunday on the lake. Cold drinks, great food, and a front-row view of the water while you hang out on the dock. Whether you’ve been thinking about buying a boat for a while, or you just want a reason to be out on Lake Wylie this weekend, this is your excuse.

Perks for Early Arrivals

Show up early and there’s something in it for you 🍹 The first 10 guests to check in at the Dyer Marine table or dock will receive a complimentary drink ticket on us. Plus, we’ll have free appetizers available while they last.

Come early, grab a bite, meet the crew, and kick off your Sunday the right way.

About Dyer Marine

Dyer Marine is a family-operated dealership based in Mooresville, NC — right in the heart of lake country, just a short drive from Charlotte and some of the best boating water in the Carolinas. They’ve built a reputation as one of the region’s most trusted boat dealers, known for putting customer experience first and carrying brands that actually hold up on the water.

As an authorized dealer, Dyer Marine represents industry leaders including MasterCraft Wake Boats, Crest Pontoons, Berkshire Pontoons, Balise Pontoons, and Pathfinder Bay Boats — a lineup that covers everything from adrenaline-fueled wake surfing to relaxed sunset cruises. Whatever your lake day looks like, they’ve got a boat for it.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates a MasterCraft from everything else on the water, or you’re trying to figure out whether a pontoon or a surf boat makes more sense for your family, Sunday is the perfect chance to find out firsthand. No spec sheets, no brochures — just real rides on real boats.

Dyer Marine serves Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, Lake Tillery, Mountain Island Lake, Charlotte, and most of South Carolina, so wherever you’re coming from, chances are they’re your local dealer. And their relationship with customers doesn’t stop at the sale. Their certified marine mechanics work on every style of boat — inboards, outboards, sterndrives, and pontoons — and they’ll even bring their services to you for your convenience.

Beyond sales and service, Dyer Marine also offers boat rentals, financing, trade-ins, and consignment — making it easy to get on the water no matter where you’re starting from. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned boater looking to upgrade, the team is built to help you find the right fit without the runaround.
