They are ideal for use on smaller lakes, electric only lakes, restricted lakes, or ponds.

Thier pioneering designs offer unmatched luxury and value in a compact pontoon boat.

Compact pontoon boats are ideally suited for lakes that only allow electric propulsion. Electric outboards are limited in horsepower and will perform better on the smaller size and weight of a compact pontoon.
2. First Time Buyers & Small Family:Compact pontoons are a safe and affordable way to get into boating. Easy to manage and maintain. They are perfectly sized for small groups or families.
3. Lakes with Horsepower Restrictions:Because of their smaller size and weight, compact pontoons perform better with less horsepower than larger boats.
4. Easier to Handle:It’s easy to become intimidated or aggravated with larger boats that can be hard to dock or put on a trailer, especially in windy conditions. A smaller pontoon is more nimble, lighter and easier to maneuver. In particular, this can be a benefit to inexperienced boaters.
5. In Lieu of Aluminum V-Bottoms:A compact pontoon boat can be just as versatile and affordable as an aluminum v-bottom boat but much more comfortable to be on. In addition, a pontoon’s flat deck allows you to get up and move around, has more room for coolers and gear, and sits higher making it easier to get in and out from a dock.
6. Easy to Trailer Small in size:A compact pontoon is the perfect take along boat. It’s narrow width and light weight makes them easy to trailer. Many models can be pulled with mini vans and small SUV’s. They also work perfectly for pulling with motor homes. Anyone who has ever trailered a full size pontoon boat will certainly appreciate this feature.
7. Fits in Garage:A compact pontoon boat can be stored where other larger pontoons cannot.
