Why Choosing the Right Pontoon Boat Matters
Whether you’re planning a serene family outing, a wild bachelorette bash, or just an unforgettable day on the water, picking the right pontoon rental in Lake Pleasant makes all the difference. At Seas The Day, we offer a curated fleet of pontoons tailored to fit different group sizes, budgets, and vibes—plus we offer transportation from Phoenix, Scottsdale, and surrounding areas.
This guide will walk you through how to pick the ideal pontoon boat based on passenger count, activities, shade preferences, and more. Let’s dive in.
1. Group Size: The #1 Factor in Your Decision

💖 Pink Party Barge (20–25 Passengers)

🛳️ Destination Yacht (20 Passengers)

2. Activity Type: What’s Your Lake Day Vibe?
🎉 Party Mode?
Choose the Pink Party Barge or Outlaw Pontoon. Both have open space, a sound system, and shade, making them perfect for celebrating big. Add your birthday bash or bachelorette event.
☀️ Want to Lounge and Swim?
The Bentley with a Lilly pad or aqua mat lets your group float and chill.
🧒 Bringing Kids?
The Bentley Pontoon is a great match for families. It offers a safe layout, shade, and plenty of seating.
📸 Instagram-Ready Crew?
The Pink Party Barge is iconic. Think pink décor, max capacity, and shaded space to capture every moment.
3. Shade vs. Sun: Comfort Is Key
If Arizona’s summer heat is on your mind, pick a boat with a double Bimini top like the Bentley. Full shade = no sunburn regrets.
Prefer sunbathing? The Seadoo Switch jet boat offers more open-air seating.
4. Travel Logistics: We Bring the Boat Day to You
