Sunrise Or Sunset Chasing
Time the voyage right and you can enjoy jaw-dropping views! The early morning or late evening sky can be saturated with pinks, purples, and oranges - and it's made even more magnificent when set against a backdrop of land and sea. Gather up the family in the pontoon, cruise over to a part of the waterway with spacious views, and enjoy Mother Nature's artistry.
Explore Sandbars
Sandbars are exceptionally shallow parts of a waterway. They are usually shallow enough that kids can swim and find areas that they can touch the bottom. Take the pontoon over to a sandbar, drop the anchor, and enjoy family activities at the sandbar. Go swimming, sunbathe on board, have a picnic, and soak up the sunshine.
Play Board Games
A classic family activity is playing a board game, which can be done from a pontoon! After all, pontoons are able to deliver a smooth voyage. Cruise around the waterways while playing a family-favorite board game.
If there is not enough surface space for your intended game(s), pack a portable table or dinner trays. If you have a large group of people, you can have multiple games going at once that are tailored to the different age groups.
Embark On A Fishing Trip
The comfortable seating found on pontoons is perfect for relaxing while waiting for a fish to bite. Bring along any family members interested in fishing and see who can catch the most fish!
Nap
You may not be able to convince the kids to join you, but the adults on board can enjoy a restful snooze. The soft rock of the waves can easily lull you to sleep and give a necessary re-charge in the middle of the day.
Tow Watersports Enthusiasts
A classic marine family activity is going inner tubing! Even young children can join in on the fun. There are plenty of multi-seater options so that multiple people can go tubing at the same time.
More adventurous family members can try their hand at water skiing or wakeboarding. The spacious layout of the pontoon makes it easy to store the equipment until it's time for the adrenaline junkie to hit the water.
