A tritoon is simply a pontoon with three air tubes, rather than two. This creates an even more stable platform on the water. Learn more about the differences between these two boats <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/tritoon-vs-pontoon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/pontoon-boat-rentals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Discover pontoon rentals near you\u2014 Only at Boatsetter\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes pontoons a good choice for a fishing trip?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">browsing boat rentals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your upcoming fishing trip, spend some time looking at the pontoons. If you get a pontoon for your fishing trip, you will have\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Stability<\/span>: Due to their wide and flat base as well as the aerodynamics of sitting on top of the water, pontoons provide a secure and comfortable fishing platform. You\u2019ll experience less rocking from small waves than other boats, making for a calm day on the lake or in a bay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Space<\/span>: Fishing is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">usually <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more fun with friends and family, and pontoons typically can hold up to 8 or 12 people comfortably.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Draft depth<\/span>: A pontoon\u2019s tubes (note: pontoon can refer to both the name of the tubes and the name of the boat itself) create buoyancy so that the boat can basically sit on top of the water, with less draft than other boat types with hulls that sit deeper underwater. This allows you to operate a pontoon in shallower water and access fishing spots that other boats may not be able to reach.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Comfort:<\/span> During a long day on the water and in the sunshine, comfortable seating can make a big difference. Many pontoons also come with retractable bimini tops, aka sun shades, to offer a break from the sun.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ample storage<\/span>: Coming prepared with fishing gear is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/ways-to-make-the-most-of-your-fishing-trip-when-renting-a-boat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one key to a successful fishing trip<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Pontoons have built-in storage compartments, typically around the console and under seating. This provides plenty of storage space for fishing gear, personal items, and safety equipment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is a pontoon not a good choice?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pontoons handle small waves calmly but are not built for large waves. If you\u2019re using one in the ocean, we strongly recommend you don\u2019t travel too far from shore. A large center console or sportfisher is a suitable choice for going offshore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re also not the best for skinny water or narrow channels since they\u2019re harder to maneuver in tight spaces. If you\u2019re fishing marshes, for example, opt for a bay boat or skiff and a smaller group instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36942 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pontoon-fishing-boats-2.jpeg\" alt=\"pontoon fishing boats 2\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pontoon-fishing-boats-2.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/www.boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/pontoon-fishing-boats-2-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What features distinguish certain pontoons to be best for fishing?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many submodels of pontoons, here we\u2019ll tell you features you want to look out for when finding the best pontoon for your upcoming trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deck space: Though space is a common component of all pontoons, fishing pontoons prioritize deck space even more, with a couple less seats but more room for fishing comfortably. One end of the pontoon may be designed as a more open platform to fish from, without walls or seating on the edge, to make it easier to cast your line and reel in fish without obstruction.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fishing chairs: Speaking of seats, fishing-designed pontoons often feature at least one extra swivel chair and sometimes two or three (in addition to the driver\u2019s chair) in place of more bench or wraparound seating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amenities: Fishing pontoons have specialized amenities or electronics added, such as rod holders, live wells, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/how-to-read-a-fish-finder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fish finders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boatsetter.com\/boating-resources\/using-a-trolling-motor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trolling motors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and other fishing-specific equipment that may not be found on general-use pontoons.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll help you get started on your search for the right pontoon.
