If you’re considering buying a new boat, you’ll want to check out our helpful article listing some of the many benefits that come with owning a pontoon! No matter what kind of boat you end up choosing, you can find your perfect model at either of our locations in Centerville and Hurricane, Utah.

Easy Handling

Large boats aren’t typically beginner friendly. They can be difficult to drive and control if you don’t have the necessary experience. However, this isn’t the case for pontoons! These boats have extremely straightforward controls and simple steering that allow even the most inexperienced of boaters to get around easily. These boats are also made of aluminum, a lightweight and durable material that is not only easy to repair but should help you avoid scraping the bottom of your ship in shallow areas. 

Space For Everyone

As we’ve mentioned, pontoons are pretty large. They’re designed to hold large groups of passengers, typically seating anywhere from 12 to 16 people at a time. Despite the number of passengers, these ships have spacious decks and comfortable seating for everyone aboard! Depending on your model, these ships may also come with other convenient amenities such as multiple decks or sleeping berths to make your outing all the more enjoyable. 

Safety

These ships are some of the safest on the market, making them extremely popular among families and first-time boaters. Their large size gives them extra stability even in rough waters, making them much less likely to capsize and even reducing the likelihood of seasickness. The boat’s sidewalls are also quite a bit taller than average, making it much harder to go overboard. An important safety precaution for boaters with pets or small children. 

As you can see, a pontoon comes with a number of unexpected, but helpful, ownership benefits! If you’re located nearby in Salt Lake City or St. George, Utah, and have decided that a pontoon is the perfect boat for you, we encourage you to come check out our inventory of ships here at Roger's Performance Marine.
