The unique design of a pontoon boat makes it an incredibly versatile vessel. It's hard to imagine a marine adventure that a pontoon couldn't navigate! 

We've gathered up our favorite ways to use a pontoon boat below. For more information or to shop pontoon boats for sale, visit JR Motors. Our dealership is based in Lake Havasu City and Parker, Arizona, and we also serve those in Blythe.

Visit a Sandbar

Sandbars are a shallow area in a body of water. They are so shallow that kids can swim around, but still find places that they can touch the bottom. It's a great spot for a day of easy swimming, lounging on the pontoon boat, or going back and forth between the activities.

Enjoy Sunset or Sunrise

Sunrises and sunsets look even more majestic from the water. Enjoy soaking up the vivid colors across the sky from the comfort of your pontoon boat. Get beautiful 360 degree views, rather than having part of the view cut off due to buildings blocking the way.

Catch a Nap

Kids on board may not try this activity, but the adults can surely benefit! A pontoon boat offers comfortable seating that makes it easy to stretch out and catch up on sleep. The soft rocking of the waves can quickly lull you to sleep. Just be sure to drop the anchor first and have one adult stay awake to keep an eye on things!

Play a Board Game

One perk of pontoon boats is that they are exceptionally stable. This lends itself well for activities that would be tough to do on the water on other boat types. For example, a family board game night!

Even if there are waves, the pontoon boat should remain stable enough that you won't need to worry about the board game pieces getting knocked about.

If your pontoon boat doesn't have quite enough surface space, it's easy to bring portable tables or dinner trays to set the board game onto. If you are traveling with a large group, you can even have multiple games going on at once! Younger kids can play something suited to their age group while the adults try their hand at a more challenging game.

Go Fishing

The stability of a pontoon boat, paired with its comfortable seating, is perfect for a day of fishing. Cast your line, then sit back and wait for a bite. There's even enough room to bring along all your fishing buddies!
