Barletta Pontoon Boats for Sale

Barletta Pontoon Boats: what to know

Barletta are a pontoon builder from Bristol, Indiana, started in 2018 by people who had spent their careers at other pontoon companies, and they have taken a large share of the market in a short time. The lines run Cabrio, Corsa and Lusso as the equipment and the price climb.

What to check before you buy

• Two tubes or three. A tritoon handles chop, turns harder and takes a much bigger engine.
• They are a young brand, so most of what you will find is recent and still in warranty. Check what transfers to a second owner.
• Lift the furniture and look at the seams. Vinyl is where any pontoon shows its age first.
• Match the engine to the use: 150 horsepower and up on three tubes if anybody wants to be pulled behind it.

Common questions

Are Barletta pontoons any good?

They are well regarded, particularly for how the furniture and the layouts are put together, and they grew quickly on word of mouth rather than on price. The company is young, which is worth knowing, but the people who founded it are not.

What is the difference between Cabrio, Corsa and Lusso?

The same idea with more in it as you go up: Cabrio is the entry line, Corsa the middle, and Lusso the one with the bigger engines, the better upholstery and the longer options list.

How fast will one go?

Depends on the tubes and the engine far more than the length. Three tubes and 250 horsepower will see 45 mph; two tubes and 90 will cruise at about 20.
