Barletta Pontoon Boats - The New Industry Leader

Yachts to Sea is proud to be partnered with Barletta Pontoon Boats as an exclusive dealer for their great lineup of boats.  Starting with the company itself, Barletta takes great pride in making the customer experience it's number one focus.  The quality and construction Barletta implements in their boats is second to none.  Many people feel Barletta Boats are some of the most innovative and stylish pontoons on the market today.  They always seem to be one step ahead of the competition.  And once you take ownership, Barletta is quick to resolve any issues that may arise to make sure your family never misses any precious time on the water.  Let's take a closer look at some details that make Barletta Boats the best pontoon brand in the industry.

Barletta Corsa

Quality and Construction

Barletta is known by many to build the smoothest, quietest, strongest pontoon build in the industry at each price point.  Here are some of the key design features:

  • Barletta VIP System - This stands for Vibration Isolation Pads.  This creates the smoothest riding pontoon in the industry.
  • Heaviest Duty Crossmembers in the industry at each price point.  Double I-Beam on Lusso and Corsa and Single I-Beam on Cabrio.  Stop by Yachts to Sea to see a cutout of these crossmembers in person.
  • Reinforced pontoons with larger diameter and thicker aluminum then industry average.  Standard on all models.
  • The most innovative performance lifting strakes at each price point.
  • More standard features than any boat in the industry at each price point.
  • The pontoon industry's best warranty - 10 years bow-to-stern and limited lifetime structural.

Barletta Boats Raise the Quality Bar.

During production, Barletta Pontoon Boats must pass through a series of quality control tests.  Once production is completed, the boats go through a White Glove Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) department.  The white glove team inspects every inch of the boat for imperfections.  The boat will not be released to the dealer until it passes each of these tests.  We at Yachts to Sea can vouch that we have never experienced boats arriving in such perfect condition from any other pontoon manufacturer.  There is currently no other manufacturer in the industry that tests their boats to this extent.

Versatile Floorplan Options.

Barletta isn't quite like other manufacturers in regards to their floorplan offerings.  Many other companies offer 100's of slightly different floorplan variations, but most of these options are very focused on one aspect and don't provide a very good "do it all" type of floorplan.  Barletta has four primary layouts which are tweaked according to the size and model you are purchasing.  These floorplans are dynamite in that they are so well thought out and just seem to offer something that appeals to all boaters.  It also makes the purchasing process much less confusing for the buyer and prevents you from ordering something that you might regret.  The four primary layouts are as follows:

  • Ultra Lounge (Lusso, Corsa & Cabrio)
  • Quad Lounge (Lusso, Corsa & Cabrio)
  • Ultra Entertainer (Lusso, Corsa & Cabrio)
  • Cast n Cruise (Cabrio only)

So you have four basic floorplans with the option of a co-captain's chair or a chaise lounge in the co-captain position.

Ultra Lounge Floorplan

Barletta Lusso Ultra Lounge

The famous Barletta Ultra Lounge is easily the most popular floorplan option offered by Barletta.  The largest percentage of these are sold in the UC configuration, which means you have the ultra lounge paired with a co-captain's chair.  Another variation is just the U, which is the ultra lounge with a side bench extending forward with a chaise lounge in place of the captain's chair as shown below.

Barletta Corsa 25U

The Ultra Lounge allows multiple configurations including a forward bench, rear bench, back-to-back, forward lounge & rear lounge.  That's 5 different seating options all in one boat!  It's no wonder the Ultra Lounge is the best designed lounger in the industry today!

Quad Lounge Floorplan

Barletta Quad Lounger

The Barletta Quad Lounger probably offers the most seating "bang for the buck" option.  If you like to bring a ton of people with you, this might be the best layout for you.  Although you don't get a dedicated rear lounger, this space is replaced with long bench seats on both sides.  And just as with the Ultra Lounge, you can opt for either a co-captain's chair or a chaise lounge on the port side.  The quad lounge layout also offers a more enclosed aft layout which may be preferred by parents with small children in some cases.  

Ultra-Entertainer Floorplan

Barletta Ultra Entertainer

If you love to entertain friends on the water, the Ultra-Entertainer is a great option.  This boat really does give you a little bit of everything.  The bow has the normal loungers found on all other models, but the aft incorporates a very clever design.  In place of a port side captain's chair or lounger, Barletta has used a table with two barstools on one side with a bench on the other that has a flip-seat which allows the passengers to face forward as well.  To top things off, you still get an Ultra Lounger in the rear of the boat!  Keep in mind that due to the room required, this layout is only available in the Lusso/Corsa 25' models and the Cabrio 24' model.

Cast-N-Cruise (Cabrio)

Barletta Cast N Cruise

The Cast-N-Cruise is the ultimate fishing combo pontoon while still offering the high-end features you have come to expect from Barletta.  This layout incorporates a large livewell, two rear-facing fishing chairs off the stern, rod and tackle holders, and two front chaise loungers for anyone who wants to just kick back and relax.

Customer Experience

At Yachts to Sea, we take pride in treating each of our customers like family.  We are a family owned business, and we know how far that can go when it comes to making sure you have a great ownership experience.  From the minute we signed with Barletta, we experienced the exact same type of culture.  The Barletta Service Team is famous for going above and beyond for both their dealers and customers.  Even with the extremely high quality construction found in each Barletta Pontoon, they are still man-made.  This means issues can arise.  And this is also where Barletta shines above the competition.  The team at Barletta is extremely accessible, even on those time when your dealership might be closed.  That's why Barletta started their industry-first Holiday Hotline.  On all major boating holidays, Barletta has a team on hand to answer your calls even when you can't reach your dealer.  They will do their best to walk you through a possible simple fix or help you deal with any situation that might arise, morning till night.

Another important ownership factor to consider is knowing your boat is covered by a strong warranty.  In fact, all Barletta Pontoons are covered by the best warranty in the industry - a limited lifetime structural warranty plus 10 years of bow-to-stern coverage on your boat.
