Pontoon Boat Accessories
Pontoon boats are spacious and versatile, giving you lots of comfortable space for entertaining, fishing and simply cruising with family and friends. While many pontoons come equipped with great features, there are some additional accessories you may want to add on to make your next boating trip more enjoyable. Whether you want a way to cook on your boat or you want to increase your storage options, there are accessories available to help with that. Your local pontoon boat dealer, Nisswa Marine, serves the whole of Minnesota, so you’ll want to pay us a visit if you have any questions about how to upgrade your pontoon boat.
Fence Mount Grill
This grill style is portable and easy to set up on the standard 2” fencing around your pontoon boat, so even if you forewent the grill option when you bought your boat, you can still have it now. Easy to install and remove for cleaning, you’ll be able to grill up all kinds of delicious meals for your passengers, from burgers to kebabs. A fence mount grill is a must-have accessory for any pontoon party!
Audio System
The ability to play music will significantly increase your enjoyment of your pontoon boat cruise, particularly if you’re hosting a social gathering. Installing an audio system on your pontoon gives you the option to put on a dance playlist for high-energy fun or a more relaxing one for a quiet cruise. You can use traditional stereos or Bluetooth compatible models. Some pontoon owners may even want to have custom-built stereos built expressly for their boat. What kind of audio system you go with will depend on your budget, but any system is sure to make your party pop.
Lighting
For a great party, especially during the evening, you’ll want to have some cool lights on your pontoon. Lights are also good for safety in dim or dark conditions. Most pontoon boats have standard electric outlets so your lighting options are wide open. Floodlights will give you lots of bright light when you need it and emergency lights up front will help you dock and avoid other boats on the water. Track lights will illuminate the deck and some string lights can make your boat look festive.
Portable Battery Charger
Your pontoon boat may have a few USB plugs on it already for charging devices, but older models probably won’t. You may also have more devices to charge if you have a lot of passengers. That’s where a portable battery charger comes in handy. These handy tools have several USB ports to allow everyone to charge their devices up for taking photos, playing music and communicating. You can even find solar-powered models that will recharge quickly in the sun so you don’t have to worry about running out of power.
Corner Bumpers
This accessory isn’t as much fun as some of the others we’ve listed, but it will protect your boat, which means less money spent on repairs. When you have your boat tied to a dock, waves can rock it enough that it gets scuffed up running into pylons repeatedly. Corner bumpers are an inexpensive and easy-to-install solution to this problem.
