Why pontoons make the ultimate party boat

When you envision your next boat, the adventures are endless – you think about hosting your family and friends for day-long excursions, sunset cruises and casual get-togethers. 

What could be better than an on-the-water party? Pontoons are the ideal choice for social gatherings and an overall fun time on the lake. There are many benefits to owning a pontoon. Plus, at our Texas boat dealership, our showroom has hundreds of pontoon models to explore and shop. 

But before visiting our boat dealer in Texas, learn a few reasons why pontoons  make the ultimate party boat.

4 Reasons You Should You Buy a Pontoon Boat

1. Plenty of space to host large gatherings

Pontoons are often called “party barges” because they have ample deck space. This boat model is essentially designed to host your family and friends, with lots of comfortable seating and space for people to move around. The stability of a pontoon means you can easily take your “crew” for a sunset cruise in comfort and style. It doesn’t get much better than catching up with your favorite people and listening to music, while you cruise along and enjoy a beautiful view.

2. Pontoon boats are great for water sports.

Water sports enthusiasts certainly won’t be disappointed by their pontoon adventures. These aren’t the pontoons of old — the power and speed of newer models make for thrilling rides while water tubing, wakeboarding and water skiing on the lake. 

Plus, stability and sturdy construction mean you can keep riders and boat passengers safe while having fun on the water. 

Tip: if you’re interested in water sports, look for a pontoon with features like tow bits, storage lockers that can accommodate your gear, and swim platforms with ladders.

3. They offer a safe, smooth ride.

Having multiple passengers onboard can be a concern when it comes to safety, since as the boat owner, you’re responsible for the wellbeing of your guests. With a newer model pontoon from Starcraft or Lowe Boats, you’re guaranteed high quality construction and stability. 

A pontoon’s wide shape and dual hulls enable you to ride level with the water, minimizing the risk of capsizing. With a capable captain, you can feel confident in the safety of your family and friends, while offering a smooth ride and enjoying each other’s company.

4. They have all the amenities.

Imagine being out on the lake on the perfect sunny day with your family and friends. You anchor by the shore and join your crew, seated in the cozy lounge, setting your drink in the cupholder nearby. The built-in table offers the perfect space for your party platter or a plate of cheese and crackers. 

When the conversation dies down, you crank up the speakers and everyone sings along to their favorite tunes, while kids climb down from the swim platform and splash around the boat. Someone mentions fishing, and you grab the gear from the rod locker with a built-in tackle box. We know it sounds too good to be true, but all of these things are possible when you purchase the pontoon boat of your dreams.
