Definition

A pontoon boat is a square-shaped boat that uses at least two hulls, or pontoons, to float. It’s typically powered by one or two outboard motors and features a large deck space. Some models actually have two decks! 

Uses

Pontoons are extremely versatile, which is one of the reasons they are so popular with boaters. They are commonly used for fishing, cruising, and relaxation. They’re easy to anchor in one place, making them perfect for day trips and some overnight camping experiences. 

With so much deck space, they are also great for parties and large groups. Everyone can enjoy the water the way they prefer! They’re designed to be more stable, allowing passengers to move around the deck more confidently and comfortably.

Since they are square in design, however, they aren’t recommended for use in rough or choppy waters. They’re best enjoyed on calm lakes. 

Benefits

Pontoon boats are great for new and experienced boaters alike. They have an adequate amount of storage space, meaning you can bring along gear and activities for everyone. They’re also stable on the water and easy to maneuver.
