What is A Pontoon Boat?
So what is a pontoon boat? What sets these craft apart from other types of boat on the water? Pontoon boats are large, flat deck boats that are supported by a series of long, tubular floats (pontoons). While most Pontoon boats are floated on two pontoons, some larger vessels feature three. Depending on the size of your boat, you can find Pontoons that either feature a single deck layout, or a two story double deck layout that provides tons of extra space. The deck of a pontoon boat is typically rectangular, which allows for more usable deck space. Pontoon boats, like other types of craft, come outfitted for a wide range of activities, so whether you're looking for a fishing boat, an awesome party spot on the water, or a tow sports boat, you can find a Pontoon boat that will fit your needs.
Why Pontoon Boats are Great
Pontoons have lots of strengths compared to other types of boat out on the water. For one, Pontoon boats are extremely stable thanks to the multiple pontoons. As long as you keep the weight evenly spread out on the deck of your boat even the most seasick prone passengers will feel very secure on a Pontoon boat. With all of that deck space comes tons of storage potential, so whether you're just floating out for a day of swimming and play, or setting off towards your favorite fishing spot, you'll be able to bring along all of the gear you need for a successful day on the water. Lastly, Pontoon boats are exceptionally easy to customize, so you can add in a livewell if you're an angler, or a tow post if you want to do some wakeboarding.
Where Pontoon Boats Work Best
Pontoon Boats aren't designed for rough water, so these boats are best when launched on a lake. One of the main reasons that a pontoon boat is best suited for flat water is because the pontoons themselves are not designed to cut through water efficiently if there are waves. The bright side is that Pontoons also feature many features that make them excel in their chosen environment, including swim platforms for easy reboarding, bimini tops to keep the sun off when you're out in the open, and plenty of luxurious furnishings that allow you to kick back and enjoy a warm summer's day.
