Commercial Pontoon Boats

Commercial Ponton Boat Specialist

Since 1997, Southland has been building commercial pontoon boats. The company has developped a good expertize in this field. Southland understood that in this type of business, it’s very important to adapt oneself to the promoters’ specifications. They are the ones who know best their needs.

The technical aspect, meaning norms, specifications related to the weight, the water drawing, the diameter of the tubes, the height of the handrails, in fact, all that must be respected to assure the passenger’s security is Southland’s business.

For the remainder such as the pontoon arrangement, Southland works with the promoter in order to find the most profitable solutions.

Less expensive Solution

The best answer to a less expensive nautical need is the aluminium commercial pontoon boat. Compared to steel or fiberglass, aluminium offers more advantages, one being lighter. Another advantage is its small water draught and it will cost less in gas. In very shallow waters, all you have to do is increase the tubes diameter to solve the floatage.

Due to its platform, at equal length, the commercial pontoon boat offers a floor surface greater than the fiberglass boat with a “V” hull. For environment concern, aluminium is much more superior to fiberglass with its chemical resins and to steel which rusts.

Security

The aluminium commercial pontoon boat is very secure. Its watertight multi-chambers tubes, the thickness of its aluminium blending, the respect of the international norms of nautical construction in the case of the certified pontoon, all is thought to ensure a maximum security.

These norms concern the electric wiring, navigation system and tools, draining system and equipment, anti-fire system and if necessary, to all types of equipment used in different situations depending of the type of commercial pontoon boat.
