A pontoon boat is a sort of floating platform designed to provide ample space.
The pontoon boat resembles a barge equipped for pleasure outings with family and friends. It is intended for use on quiet, inland waterways, and is very popular around the Great Lakes in the US and Canada.
The pontoon boat usually consists of a metal platform supported by two or three pontoons, limiting drag while providing spacious accommodations. These catamaran or trimaran boats may have inboard or outboard motors powerful enough to push them at high speed over flat water. Equipment often includes seats, benches, refrigerator, fishing gear, etc. Some models have a cabin or double deck.
Choice will depend on the number of persons to be carried and the intended use: fishing, day-cruising, overnight outings, etc.
