Of all the different types of boats available on the market, few offer the stability and space that a pontoon boat provides owners. These boats are increasingly popular with families and new boaters, because they are very spacious, easy to use, and they offer a lot of room for several passengers at once. Pontoons are also very versatile and can be used for many different types of activities. Before deciding whether to purchase a pontoon, consider some of the best activities you can do with these boats.

Here are a few fun activities to enjoy, while spending time on your pontoon boat!

Go Fishing

Fishing on a pontoon is one of life’s simple pleasures. Many pontoon boats can easily be equipped with the necessary features for fishing trips - including swivel seats, livewells, and rod holders. Plan to take a group of your friends out on the water, so you can enjoy ample time together, while also competing to catch the biggest fish!

Have A Movie Night

There’s nothing like movie nights out on the water! Set up a projector and a white sheet as a screen, hook up some speakers, and use your laptop to play a movie everyone will enjoy. While you and your family cozy up under blankets with some popcorn, take in the beautiful scenery around you. Although it might not be the first place you would think of, a pontoon boat is a great place to have a movie night!

Throw A Picnic Party

Your pontoon boat can make a great place to host a lunch or dinner. Simply spread a picnic blanket out on your deck and bring a packed basket full of sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, pasta salad, cookies, sodas, and all your other favorite picnic treats. Plus, if you have a boat grill, you can even prepare hot foods like burgers and veggie kebabs!
