Let’s say you’re packing up the car and taking the kids to Florida for Spring Break. Maybe you’ve had enough of the northern weather and you’re headed to the west coast to live by the sea. Either way, there’s a potential you will want to be on the water.

The season we’ve all been waiting for, especially here at the Barletta factory in Bristol, Indiana. Summer is knocking at the door and we couldn’t be more thrilled. There is a buzz among our team this time of year because it means we finally get to put boats in the water.

If you’re in the market for a new pontoon boat or have considered purchasing a Barletta, you might have questions regarding the warranty. As a consumer myself, I’m going to guess that you’ve not read all of the fine print that’s come your way when purchasing a large item in the past.

Over the winter Joe decided to take his family to the local boat show just to browse the latest selection of this year’s lineup. As if getting out of the house on a cold February day wasn’t fun enough, Joe set his sights on what would become the family’s new favorite pastime.

Driving a boat takes skill that does not come naturally, but rather is acquired over time. Keep this in mind as I ask you the next set of questions. Regardless of your age or driver’s license status, consider this.

Congratulations on your new pontoon boat! This is an exciting time and waiting for delivery day is the hardest part. Make sure that you discuss the lead time with your dealer when purchasing the boat.

See if you can relate to this. I’m a life-long boater and have been on just about any type of vessel out there. I grew up on a fiberglass v hull with an I/O and a pontoon boat. I’ve sailed an E scow and cruised around on a daysailer.

Through all of your online research about pontoon boats, you’ve landed here. Now you may have owned a pontoon for years or you’re new to boating altogether. Either way, I want to make sure you have all the tools you need as an owner.

It’s the middle of winter and I’m no longer excited when I see snow falling. It’s cold and I can’t walk to my mailbox without nearly slipping down the driveway.

You’ve done your research, you think you know what boat you want to purchase, and you’re ready to pull the trigger. What better timing than the middle of winter to buy a boat, right? Sounds crazy but January through March is a great time to find your family's perfect boat.
