Harris Pontoons had a significant impact on the pontoon industry by introducing built-in, upholstered bench seating in the '60s. It was an innovation that changed the perception of pontoon comfort. They continue to grow the design and innovation as modern style and technologies evolve. 

In the late '80s, companies began experimenting with different ways to improve performance. Various combinations of lifting strakes and center pontoons (tri-toon design) created pontoon boats that handled better than traditional boats both in cornering and in choppy conditions. Many models of tritoons can exceed 60 miles per hour on open water and are excellent boats for tow-sports.

Today there are a wide variety of pontoon boats from simple day boats to luxurious cruising machines complete with head, shower, and entertainment bars. ”Pontoons are enjoying immense popularity right now because these boats are literally like taking the comforts of your living room on the water,” explained Aaron Kramer, MarineMax Pensacola Store Manager. “And frankly, many pontoon models outperform traditional sport boats and can be set up for fishing, water skiing, wake boarding, cruising, with floor plans that can include kitchens, bars and sport towers. They are the best boats for what people love to do on their boats. Having a blast!”

MarineMax offers Harris pontoon boats at several local MarineMax stores. Check with your local MarineMax for availability.
