Fortunately, there are a number of excellent pontoon boat activities to choose from, and we've compiled a few of them here. For more information on all things boating, stop by Island Watersports at our Fenwick Island, Delaware, location. We also serve Ocean City and Salisbury, Maryland. 

Lounging on the Water

Lounging out on the water is really the perfect use for a pontoon boat, so it had to be one that we mentioned. Your pontoon offers you the perfect means for a relaxing day floating around on whatever body of water you choose. You and your friends can sunbathe, take a nap, have a picnic, or just relax and chat out on the water. Because pontoons tend to have a wide, flat deck, they're also great for decorating with comfortable furniture to enhance your lounging experience.

Going Fishing

Pontoons are an excellent type of boat for a relaxing day of catching fish. While not ideal for truly serious, high-level fishing, for the more casual fisherman or woman, pontoon boats are perfect. They possess plenty of storage space for all of your fishing gear, and plenty of standing and sitting room for you and your companions. Certain models of pontoon boat are better equipped for fishing, so if you plan on doing a lot of it, make that a consideration while shopping.

Watersports

While many people think of pontoons as slow, leisurely boats, that isn't necessarily always the case anymore. Modern pontoon boat engines are actually relatively powerful, meaning they are fully capable of being used for watersport activities. Whether you prefer a day of waterskiing with your buddies, or taking the whole family on a day of tubing, your pontoon boat should be more than capable of handling it. Then, once you're all tired out from your day of watersports, you've already got the perfect vessel to lounge and relax for a few hours, completing a perfect day out on the water.

One of the great things about pontoons is how versatile they can be, even though not everyone thinks of them that way. Whether you're looking for a leisurely day, or hoping for some excitement, there's a pontoon activity that will fit the bill.
