What makes a Pontoon Boat a Pontoon Boat?
The defining characteristic of a pontoon boat is… the pontoons! Pontoons are the long tube shaped structures that sit beneath the deck of a pontoon. Most Pontoon boats have a dual set of pontoons, however some larger models have three, for greater stability. Pontoon boats come in a variety of configurations, including single deck models, and two story double deck boats. These craft also come pre-equipped for a wide range of activities, including fishing, entertaining, and tow sports, so you can enjoy just about any activity in a Pontoon boat. The wide flat deck and pontoon flotation make these boats a poor choice for rough water, as they don’t easily cut through chop, however they do have some serious advantages...
The Big Advantage of Pontoon Boats
The biggest upside to a pontoon boat is the spacious deck. Without needing to sacrifice space to high gunwales, Pontoon boats are able to get the most use out of every square inch of space. Because they offer so much room, Pontoon boats are often thoroughly equipped straight out of the showroom, incorporating super comfortable furniture, and a variety of specialized pieces of equipment. Pontoon boats will often come outfitted with a livewell, fish box, rod storage, coolers, bars, or other specialized pieces of equipment that allow you to get the most out of your boat. With outstanding versatility, tons of space to spread out, and tons of room for extra passengers, a Pontoon is an ideal way to have fun with friends and family without ever needing to leave someone behind.
Where Pontoon Boats Thrive
Pontoon boats are made for smooth, gentle waters. If you get your pontoon boat out onto some open water with chop you may be okay, but the design of the boat just isn’t built to handle waves coming over the front and sides. When you take your pontoon boat out on a lake you’re experience an exceedingly stable, smooth ride. These boats are often equipped to provide ideal comfort in calm areas. Pontoon boats will incorporate luxurious furnishings so you can lounge in the sun, as well as wide bimini tops to protect you from the midday heat. Wide swim platforms allow kids to jump off and reboard with ease, while the built in dining amenities allow you to bring a picnic out on the water.
