Barletta Pontoon Boats Launches Freedom Package for U.S. Veterans

There are never enough words to express our gratitude to the men and women who have served our country. That’s why we’re proud to launch the Barletta Freedom Package Initiative.

Starting June 1, every veteran who purchases a Barletta boat will receive a hand-packed gift box thoughtfully assembled by fellow veterans at our headquarters. Each item is selected with purpose, symbols of gratitude and respect for the recipient’s service. Inside, you’ll find a custom challenge coin, hat, sweatshirt, and a Barletta Boat flag. A true thank-you for serving our country and a welcome into the Barletta family—a family that will always have your six.

“At Barletta, we believe in building more than boats—we build community,” said Jeff Haradine, president of Barletta Boats. “These programs are deeply personal to our team members, many of whom are veterans themselves. We wanted to create something that goes beyond a simple thank-you.”

 

In addition, Barletta has partnered with USAA to offer exclusive rebates ranging from $500 to $2,500, depending on the model purchased. This offer is available to USAA members who register prior to purchase and submit proof of ownership within 90 days.

 

“When you trust your family’s joy to us, you never get left behind,” added Eddie Holyfield, a welder at Barletta and U.S. Coast Guard veteran. “This program is about recognizing that sacrifice, welcoming veterans into the Barletta family, and making sure they feel valued and appreciated.”
