Boating in Large Bodies of Water: Why Barletta is Ready for Big Water

It’s been a common misconception that pontoon boats can’t handle the ocean or any big bodies of water. The Times They Are A-Changin'!

As times change, so does pontoon boat technology. Today’s pontoons, especially Barletta’s, are built to take on the challenge of larger waters with ease. There are countless reasons why you shouldn’t be afraid to take your Barletta anywhere:

Barletta Boats are known for having the industry's strongest hull construction and chassis for a number of reasons:

• Vibration Isolation Pads (VIP): Our patented VIP Technology adds a barrier between like metals to eliminate rattle and vibration.
• I-Beam Crossmembers: Our single and dual I-beam crossmember construction makes for the strongest chassis in the industry, built to handle rough waters with ease.
• Dual Stage Lifting Strakes: Our trademarked lifting strakes are designed to get you on plane quickly and efficiently.
• Reinforced Nose Cones: Our heavy-duty nose cones are internally reinforced to help cut through challenging waters.

This robust construction ensures your Barletta stays steady and durable, no matter the size of the waves.

Tri-Toon Popularity & Capabilities

Triple-hull pontoons have become increasingly popular for a reason. The third tube in the middle adds extra buoyancy and stability, allowing the boat to cut through waves more efficiently. This design also improves handling and makes it easier to navigate in choppier waters.

Pontoon boats naturally offer enhanced buoyancy, which keeps you riding higher on the water and helps keep waves from crashing onto your deck. That stability means improved control and a drier ride, even when the water gets a little wild.

Barletta boats are often equipped with high-performance engines, providing the power needed to navigate through strong currents and large waves. These engines allow you to maintain a steady speed and maneuver effectively, even in challenging conditions. With the right engine, your Barletta can confidently tackle any large body of water.

So, the next time someone tells you pontoon boats can’t handle big waters, give 'em a little wink and head straight for that chop. Barletta was built for this.
