What Happened
Godfrey Pontoon Boats introduced the all-new 2027 AquaPatio, described as a completely transformed sport-luxury pontoon shaped by consumer and dealer feedback. The boat gets a more intuitive helm, elevated comfort, bold new styling and expanded performance. Godfrey says it is designed to be the centerpiece for days spent cruising, enjoying watersports and entertaining family and friends. The new 2027 AquaPatio will be available to order through authorized Godfrey Pontoon Boats dealers beginning in October.
“With the all-new AquaPatio, we challenged ourselves to build on everything customers already loved while incorporating the innovations they told us mattered most. From the re-imagined helm and seating to the technology, performance and bold new styling, this pontoon was designed to create a more premium ownership experience. The AquaPatio continues to define the sport-luxury pontoon category by making time on the water more comfortable, intuitive and enjoyable.”

The exterior has been completely transformed with a new framed rail skin that adds visual depth and dimension for a more premium appearance on the water. Illuminated interior and exterior badging and new layout options supporting either an arch or tower configuration further distinguish the design. An expanded palette of bold exterior colors, including Ultra Violet, Signal Orange and Vermillion Red, gives owners more ways to personalize the boat. For further customization, Godfrey offers a CNC custom-painted exterior design on select rail skin colors, along with custom paint options for the boat's engines.
Why this matters
The AquaPatio is a product revamp aimed at pontoon buyers who use their boats for cruising, watersports and entertaining, and it was shaped by feedback from those customers and from Godfrey dealers. Because the boat reaches showrooms only through authorized Godfrey dealers, the redesign affects the dealer network as well as retail buyers. It also shows how Polaris' boat division is positioning its sport-luxury pontoon line for the 2027 model year.
