Looking for a Family Boat? Let’s Talk 25ft Pontoon Boats
Nothing says ‘quality family time’ quite like a day spent on the water together. If you’re looking for a family boat that ticks all the boxes and that’s big enough to accommodate even the extended family or a large group of friends, you can’t go past a 25ft pontoon boat. The spacious family-friendly layout, wide open deck and stable design make them perfect for any number of activities, from lounging around relaxing, or throwing in a rod to cooking on the barbie, or even some light water sports. Whoever said, “You can’t please all of the people all of the time,” obviously never owned an Australian pontoon boat!
Why a 25ft Pontoon Boat is Perfect for Families
The great thing about pontoon boats is that they are easy to use, even for beginners. So even families who are new to boating can get in on the fun. Not only does the flat deck and stable design make them easier to drive, but they are also easier to maneuver and dock than many other recreational boats.
As any parent knows, a day out with the family requires diligent planning. There are meals and snacks to be prepared, spare clothing to be packed, towels, sunscreen and a whole myriad of other things to be carted around ‘just in case.’ The beauty of a 25ft pontoon boat is that the under-sat storage compartments mean you’ll have room to bring everything you need and still have room to move freely around the boat. Unlike other less stable and roomy vessels, you can turn your pontoon into a ‘floating lounge’ complete with table, sunshade, a sound system, a fridge and a BBQ.
Why Pontoons Offer Better Value Than Speed Boats
When you purchase a boat it’s important to consider ongoing costs. Not only are pontoon boats more affordable in general than speedboats, but they also offer better value in other areas that count too. Not only is insurance for pontoon boats cheaper than many other high-performance boats, but they are also more fuel efficient, especially when used in cruise mode. Due to their simple design, and an aluminum construction that resists corrosion, maintenance is relatively simple too, making upkeep more manageable compared to more complex boats. So, you and your family can enjoy the water on the regular without your hip pocket taking a significant hit each time.
