While pontoons have always excelled, today’s offerings have evolved over the years to meet the needs of all pontoon activities. With their roomy decks, minimal draft, and stable presence, pontoons make an ideal platform for fishing. Increasing horsepower and agile, V-hull-like handling pleases not just performance enthusiasts, but extends the boat’s watersports repertoire to include skiing, tubing, and wakeboarding. Triple pontoon packages can handle rougher, larger bodies of water and, with saltwater packages, enable pontoons to venture into coastal waters.

With the ample space pontoons offer, there is plenty of room to host your friends and family out on the water. A modern pontoon’s plush furniture and individual gathering areas let everyone join together, or individual parties break off on their own. Additional features such as sound systems, interior and exterior lighting, shaded areas, and more will keep the fun going day or night.

With their wide beam and naturally stabilizing pontoon configuration, wakes and waves won’t rock a pontoon like they do on other types of boats. That stability offers added peace of mind to passengers, as does perimeter fencing, which makes it a perfect family boat. And although modern performance and handling can be jaw-dropping, the average ride remains calm and predictable. 

The vast majority of pontoon boats also feature outboard power, which is easier to maintain, service, and winterize. Should you decide to upgrade down the road, replacing an outboard is also a relatively simple swap, allowing you to maintain your original investment in the boat itself.

On a tight budget? Pontoon models can be arranged to hit a variety of price points by offering different selections of horsepower alternatives, configurations, and interior amenities. Opportunities are endless for pontoon models to fit any boater's needs.
