The pontoon boat is not a new concept. In addition to the first primitive boats, the modern pontoon boat as we know it was born over 70 years ago in Minnesota, USA.
A great success, the concept has improved considerably over the years. More comfortable, more seaworthy and more efficient, today it's a full-fledged boat with same technical features used on traditional boats.
An incredible leisure platform
What's more, the pontoon boat is above all a formidable leisure platform capable of satisfying the whole family. Practical for fishing, it's also perfect for taking children swimming or towing a buoy. It's also remarkably comfortable and stable.
With such advantages, the success of the pontoon boat is not surprising. The boat accounts for almost 25% of sales in the USA, and is now attempting to conquer the rest of the world, starting with Europe.
Here's a look back at this American success story.
