First Take

There are some risks involved when including “yacht” in a model name for a pontoon, but the manufacturer clearly backs it up with this fully-loaded 32-foot dream boat that is truly like nothing we’ve seen before.

Kind Of A Big Deal

For years we’ve been raving about how much JC is able to pack into its models, but this SportYacht takes creature comforts to a whole new level. With a limited word count, we’ll try to hit the highlights, starting with the custom Yacht Table by Teak Isle that includes built-in wine glass holders and a wine chiller rack on top. On one side of the table are two adjustable-height bar stools and on the other are two swingbacks so you can switch from sitting around the table to rear-facing loungers with ease. Other Teak Isle highlights include a wine cabinet built into the back of the bow port chaise and a garbage can built into the back of the bow starboard chaise with both having a locking glove box above with a USB port.

There are two chairs with leg lifts from Wieland Motion that with the push of a button fully recline, and when you factor in the nearly 12 feet of bench seating in the bow alone, you can see there’s plenty of options to meet the 22-passenger rating.

At the helm the captain has complete control including access to the QMI Multiflex thrusters that are built into the pontoons. You simply press the arrow for the direction you want to move—it’s that easy. Also controlled at the helm is the Mister Comfort misting system for the floor as well as at the helm. The dash console itself is centered on a 9-inch Simrad touchscreen with digital gauges on each side. Below the steering wheel is a wireless charging station for your phone.

For the captain is a Revo bolstered helm chair on a raised platform, Shadow Caster RGB light controller, Power Bimini top and access to the JL Audio eight-speaker system. One other cool feature to note is the Boarding Assistance switch by Positron which, after a 15-minute delay, automatically powers off your boat. And whatever you left on will power back on with the press of a button on a switch located near the port gate. Very cool.

Closer Look

The new 32-foot model comes standard with JC TriToon’s signature High Tide Hull which includes three high-volume U-shaped pontoons with lifting fins and there is a full aluminum skin below. The thrusters are installed inside the port and starboard pontoons for a flush fit, with no extension below the pontoon surface to drag or hit underwater obstacles.

Performance

This is a big boat but it’s not a problem with the Suzuki dual prop 350hp four-stroke on the back. She has the power, but with QMI’s Multiflex 1800 PSI steering system she also has ease of maneuverability. Even at 32 feet long we recorded a zero-to-20 mph time of 6 seconds on our way to a top speed of 40 mph.

Final Thoughts

With the whiteout package with powder-coated rails and the unique teal color accents, this is not only a fun and fully-loaded pontoon, but it’s attractive-looking as well. Clearly the price as tested won’t be for every budget, but everyone will agree this SportYacht is the ultimate entertainer.
