Activities to Do with Pontoon Boats

Pontoon boats are perfect for families and large groups of passengers since they have sufficient comfortable seating and spacious, stable decks to accommodate everyone. These roomy decks also make pontoons ideal for entertaining and various fun activities. Here are a couple of great ideas you can try on your next boat outing to delight your friends and family.

Picnic on Deck

Spread out your blanket on the deck of your boat and unload a picnic basket or cooler packed full of sandwiches, fresh fruit, sodas and juices, chips, pickles, cookies, pasta salads, and any other treats for a delicious and fun lunch out on the water. You can stay moored to the dock or you can head out to the middle of your favorite lake or river and weigh anchor before you begin your outdoor meal. Just make sure you’ve got plenty of paper towels or napkins and trash bags for clean-up.

Movie Night

Set up a sheet or projector screen and fire up your laptop or projector with a movie of your choice for your family and friends. Some blankets, bags of popcorn, a few sodas, and a set of speakers will make your movie on the water an unforgettable experience for everyone.

Club Meeting

Do you host or participate in a book club, chess club, knitting circle, quilting bee, or birdwatching society? If you traditionally rotate your meetings between various living rooms and patios, why not invite your fellow enthusiasts to hold the next club meeting on your pontoon boat? The comfortable seating and additional amenities will make for a unique experience that can elevate your usual meetings.
