Owning a private pond is like having your own slice of paradise. But to really make the most of it, you need the right gear. Enter the small pontoon boat – your ticket to endless pond fun. Let’s dive into why these little boats are the best thing to hit private ponds since lily pads.
Small Pontoon Boats are Affordable
Let’s face it, boats can be expensive. But mini and small pontoon boats? They're the budget-friendly heroes of the boating world. These boats won't drain your bank account, and they’re super cheap to maintain. Less fuel, fewer parts to break – what’s not to love?
Pond King has a Size and Model to Fit Everyone’s Needs
At Pond King, we manufacture several models of all-aluminum, welded mini and small pontoon fishing boats. From a 7’ one-person boat up to a 16’6” boat that’ll fit the whole crew, we’ve got the perfect small fishing boat for everyone’s budget and plan of use.
If fishing by yourself is your idea of a perfect outing, check out the Pond King Rebel. If it’s just you and a buddy (human or 4-legged friend), and you’re only on a small pond, the Champ or Sport might be the ticket. Headed to the lake, but also have a pond where you like to fish? The Pro is big enough for lakes, but small enough for ponds. Need a boat that’ll fit you and all the grandkids? The Pond King Ultra has room for everybody. There’s a reason we call it the “Mini-van of Small Pontoon Boats”.
Ease of Storage and Transport
Worried about where you’re going to park your new toy? No sweat. Small pontoon boats are like the compact cars of the boating world – since they’re all aluminum, they’re easy to store and lightweight and easy to move. They fit snugly in sheds, garages, or even on a trailer in your driveway. And when you want to take it to the pond, just hitch it up to your car and go. No need for a monster truck or a massive boat trailer. It’s as easy as pie.
Leave Your Small Pontoon Boat on the Pond Year Round
Better yet, if you have the luxury of being able to leave your boat on the water year round, the Pond King pontoon fishing boats are made for just that! Tie them up to your dock, or beach them on land, and they’ll be ready when you are. Because of the flat deck and all-aluminum construction, you don’t have to worry about any parts rusting in the weather, or the boat filling up with rain while you’re gone. It’ll be ready when you are!
Small Pontoon Boats Offer Versatility for Various Activities
Fishing? Check. Leisure cruising? Check. Floating picnic? Double check. Small pontoon boats are the Swiss Army knives of the water world.
They’re perfect for fishing, offering a comfortable, stable platform where you can catch the big one without tipping over. I can’t tell you how many times I hear from new customers: “I can’t fish anymore because I can’t get in and out of my Jon boat.” Or, “I have bad knees or a bad back, and I can’t sit in the Jon boat anymore.” Or, “My wife says I can’t go fishing anymore because I keep falling out of my boat!” (Yes, sadly I’ve heard this one more than once!) If this sounds like you, then a small pontoon boat is calling your name!
Not into fishing and just want a relaxing cruise for you and the wife over a bottle of wine? We’ve got options for that too! The versatility is endless – whatever floats your boat!
Environmentally Friendly Options
If you live on a shared lake that has horsepower restrictions, or you want to keep your private pond pristine and the fish happy, mini pontoon boats have got your back. Many models can be operated with just an electric trolling motor that is easy on the environment and your ears.
These eco-friendly boats glide quietly through the water, so you won’t disturb the local wildlife or your neighbors’ afternoon nap. Going green has never been this much fun!
Small Pontoon Boats are Extremely Stable and Safe
Safety first, fun second – or maybe it’s a tie. We always recommend following these boating safety tips, but small pontoon boats are designed with safety in mind. With wide platforms and optional higher handrails to keep everyone on board, they’re stable and safe.
Small pontoon boats are perfect for families with kids or pets who like to test the waters – and for the fishermen I mentioned earlier who keep falling out of their Jon boats! You won’t have to worry about tipping over or unexpected swims in mini pontoon boats.
Peace of mind on the water? Check and check.
Easy Maintenance and Durability
Who wants to spend all their time fixing a boat? Not you. Small pontoon boats are tough cookies, built to last with minimal upkeep. They’re made from high-quality materials that can handle a bit of rough and tumble. Cleaning is a breeze – a quick wash and you’re good to go.
Follow a few simple maintenance tips throughout the season like covering the seats when not in use and making sure your trolling motor is tilted up and out of the water (You don’t want those seals to go bad!), and your boat will be in tip-top shape for generations to come. All you have to do is make sure the batteries are charged! More fun, less fuss.
