Definition

First, we’ll start by defining a pontoon. They are recognizable by their two or three hollow aluminum tubes that serve as a hull under a flat platform. Typical boats have one centered hull that allows them to tip easily in the calmest of water. A pontoon boat, however, will remain centered and stable. Their development stems from a similar style of floating bridge used since antiquity, evolving into a large raft that eventually became the stable and capacious boats you see floating on lakes today.

These days, you’ll find plush seating, high side walls that prevent you from being hit by spray and large decks that give plenty of walking space so no one feels crowded. You also won’t find many crafts that are easier to handle, which is ideal for those new to boating.

Perfect For Families

These vessels make great family crafts because of their stability and room to move around. Kids won’t be likely to fall over the high sides, so they’re safer. With all that extra space, you can easily set up games to play or even turn on some music to let the kids dance. Preparing food on a pontoon boat is easy, too, since their stability allows for a grill to be mounted on them. They often come with wet bars so you can fix drinks. Lots of comfortable seating will facilitate conversations and make everyone feel comfortable. Some even have upper decks or swim platforms to allow for splashing around and sunbathing, too.

This style of boat is also more affordable for its size and less expensive to have insured. Pontoons are built to be strong, which means they won’t need to have parts replaced or repairs performed as often. Lower maintenance needs mean less worry and more money in your wallet!
