Pontoon Boats - The New Must-Have for Luxe Canal Homes



If you are living on a canal in Australia, you are already living the dream. But living near the water without a boat is like owning a horse without a saddle: all asset and no ride.  

The options are endless when it comes to boats, ranging from sleek power boats for water sports to humble tinnies for peaceful fishing trips, cabin cruisers for entertaining and partying, or even a kayak with a Bluetooth speaker. But if you live beside a canal, and want an open decked boat perfect for entertaining, BBQ’s, fishing and fun family days out, you can’t go past a pontoon boat

Why a Pontoon Boat Is the Unsung Hero of the Waterways

A pontoon boat is part floating lounge room, part alfresco verandah, part kids' play zone, and maybe even a nightclub, all rolled into one. Let’s face it— no other boat says, "BBQ time!" "Let's party," "Wanna go fishing?" or "Pass the wine" quite like a pontoon boat does.   

A pontoon boat isn’t just a vessel, it’s a lifestyle. Effortlessly cool, it chills humbly in the background, like the coolest guy at the party that everyone wants to be like. It’s the chameleon of the waterways, ticking every box for every family member like an all-inclusive breakfast buffet. Speaking of which, with all the plush seating, space, expansive canopy, onboard BBQ and room for a wine fridge, you can comfortably host breakfast, lunch or dinner onboard a pontoon boat.  

Family and Kid-Friendly for Safe Daytime Fun

Cruising is the name of the game on a triple-tube design pontoon boat – built for stability and peace of mind. Spacious and secure, it offers plenty of room for the whole family to relax, play and explore safely. Regardless of your chosen pursuit, a pontoon boat provides a comfortable, steady platform so you can enjoy the calm waters and soak up the sunshine – no balance test required! 

Seeking an elite multipurpose entertainment vessel that will level up your lifestyle? Explore pontoon boats for sale and discover how stable, spacious and seriously fun life on the water can be.
