First Impression
Godfrey Marine offers an impressive lineup in the pontoon segment, from entry-level and price-point models to its top-of-the-line beauties. At a glance, it is clear where this fully loaded, twin-engine Sanpan stands. This is the manufacturer’s oldest series of pontoons, which began in 1958, and its evolution to the latest offering is amazing.
Highlights
The push-button entry on the see-through bow gate is your first indication that this high-end Godfrey is unique and designed to impress. No lifting is required for this gate, and there is even a magnet on the floor to hold it open.

We love the symmetrical look with the full wraparound windshield, dual helm consoles, and plush seating in the bow. The cool-touch vinyl furniture in the darker Saddle color with a Cavern accent is just as comfortable on hot summer days as lighter-colored vinyl.

Below each helm is lockable storage, with a trash receptacle built into the starboard helm’s door. For the captain, the automotive-style dash completes the high-end vibe Godfrey is going for with its refreshed console for 2026. Two 12-inch touchscreens anchor the dash, including the Simrad NSX. Together, they provide access to your map and gauges along with controls for the JL Audio stereo and RGB lighting. A nice added touch is the six push buttons below for quicker access to key features, plus a stereo knob to control the sound levels.

The full spectrum RGB lighting package includes underseat mood lights, courtesy lights, cupholders, underdeck lights, underwater lights, and speakers. The upgraded JL Audio package includes four 6.5-inch and two 7.7-inch RGB speakers, an eight-channel DSP amplifier, and a 10-inch subwoofer.

Both helm consoles for the captain and co-captain include heated and cooled cupholders and wireless phone chargers. The first-mate helm also includes a second wireless charger inside a locking glovebox.

Behind the deluxe reclining dual helm chairs is the Ultra Lounge, which gives you the best of both worlds with full U-shaped seating. With the flip-up stern cushion, you can still access the swim deck.

Between the massive outboards is an easy-to-use LilliPad Marine boarding ladder, along with a removable ski/tow pylon on the back deck.

Inspection
As part of the long list of standard features, the solid foundation of this boat includes the iMPACT+ performance hull, two 27-inch-diameter pontoons, and a 29-inch-diameter center tube for an amazing ride. It also includes a full-length under-deck skin, lifting strakes, and inside skirting. Above the deck, the rail height varies from a family-friendly height of 27 inches tall in the bow to 31 inches tall in the stern. Also, we love how the new vibrant Anthracite fiberglass color pops on the water.
Performance
It’s impossible not to appreciate the integrated electronic twin steering system in the sharp turns as she banks beautifully for an exhilarating ride. Of course, having twin 400hp Mercury outboards only adds to the fun factor. With the powerful V10s, we reached a top speed near the mid-60s at full throttle after a blistering zero-to-20 mph time of just 4 seconds!
Final Thoughts
Scanstrut built-in air station, wash down, power Bimini top—the list of features appears endless on this high-end Sanpan, which incorporates a solid mix of standard features, package upgrades, and thoughtful options.

Just being picky…It’s important to have a trash receptacle on board so finding one under the helm is great. However, needing a key to open it hinders access.
