Why we love this boat…
The long list of standard features is impressive, but it’s the little touches found on this boat that you can’t truly appreciate until you’re on the water that make it unique.
Just being picky…
With the need to plug in our phones being high these days and an extra spot at the helm already available, a second wireless charger would be nice to at least offer as an option.

First Take
High-end luxury is something Barletta takes very seriously and the best example of its commitment to building a model worthy of its top-of-the-line reputation is this all-new Lusso. From the exterior rails and panels with stainless accent pieces to the thoughtful standard features to make time on the water better, this Barletta will amaze you.
Kind Of A Big Deal
The all-new Meridian-Lounge is a combination of its Ultra-Lounge and its Quad-Lounge where you get the benefits of the Ultra-Lounge but with a center walk-through. Factor in the multiple-use Club Chair across from the helm and the seating possibilities on the boat feel limitless. It’s not about just forward- or rear-facing loungers either, but different lounging positions for multiple people.

There’s nearly an average of one “Yeti-Ready” cup holder per foot on this boat, but what is truly amazing is the number of USB and USB-C ports near some of these cup holders. There are a total of four chaise lounges on board with the two in the bow offering added features. The back of the port chaise folds out to create a table and the back of the starboard chaise has a dedicated spot for a wastebasket where no one needs to get up to empty it.

At the sporty-looking helm is a wrapped console centered on multi-function gauges with a 7-inch Simrad touchscreen on the right and then the Hertz Marine stereo controls below. There’s also integrated cell phone storage with a wireless charging station and AUX port, plus a lockable glove box on the side.

Another feature we love is the extended swim deck with a tube/tow watersports cage with built-in fender holders. New this year is an extra-deep, five-step REVO boarding ladder from LilliPad Marine that has wide steps so it’s easier for dogs to get back on the boat. Speaking of pet-friendly, built into the raised helm platform is a pullout dog dish and the bow and port gates include Doggie-Dock View, which is a see-through acrylic panel so pets can also take in the view.

Other key features include a Power Bimini top with dome light, stainless steel flagpole with an American flag and interior RGB lighting.

Closer Look
As part of the standard Triple Toon package you gain floor storage, plus bow anchor storage. The three 26-inch diameter pontoons are connected to the 3/4-inch marine decking with a combination box/I-beam and C-channel hybrid cross-member configuration. The V.I.P (Vibration Isolation Pads) Technology helps provide a quiet ride too. There are full-length exterior Wave Tamers on the outside pontoons and a full-length solid keel and underbelly skin. The exterior panels with blackout rails around the perimeter stand over 30 inches tall for most of the boat, with the lowest rail in the bow still measuring 27 inches.
Performance
Powered by a Mercury Verado 300hp outboard, our zero-to-20-mph time of just over five seconds put smiles on our faces on our way to a top speed in the mid 40 mph range. She banks nicely in the tight turns and with the hydraulic steering she handles like a dream.
Final Thoughts
While the price as tested won’t be for every budget, what can easily be agreed upon is that this is a truly high-end luxury model that lives up to the high standards and reputation for which Barletta is known.
