Your boat should fit your lifestyle—not the other way around. From how you spend your time on the water to who you bring along, the right pontoon is one that feels intentionally designed around you and your family.

That’s where pontoon customization comes in. At Crest, there are countless ways to design a boat that matches your preferred way to forge lasting memories. From layouts and performance to colors, upholstery, and accessories, every choice plays a role in creating a pontoon that feels like it was built just for you—because it was.

Every great boat starts with the correct layout. When exploring the best pontoon layouts, think about how you’ll actually use the space.

• How many people will you regularly have on board?

• Do you want more wraparound seating or more open deck space?

• Will you be swimming, fishing, entertaining, or all three?

• How much storage do you want within reach?

Crest offers a variety of floorplans designed for different lifestyles—from social layouts with spacious lounges to fishing-focused setups with livewells and tackle storage.

Performance is just as important as layout, and one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is choosing between a pontoon and a tritoon.

Pontoon Performance

A traditional pontoon features two tubes and delivers a smooth, relaxed ride—perfect for cruising, calm-water exploration, and laid-back family days.

Tritoon Performance

A tritoon adds a third center tube, providing increased stability, better handling, and the ability to support higher horsepower. This makes tritoons ideal for watersports, larger groups, and more demanding conditions.

When comparing tritoon vs. pontoon performance, it really comes down to how you plan to use your boat. Calm cruising or high-energy towing? Slow sunset rides or full-throttle fun? Crest offers both options, so you never have to compromise.

Once the foundation is set, it’s time to personalize. This is where your boat truly becomes your boat.

From exterior color options to interior accent packages, Crest makes it easy to create a look that stands out without chasing trends. Upholstery options like CoolFeel vinyl help keep seating cooler on hot days, while thoughtful textures and finishes elevate comfort across the deck.

For those who enjoy evening cruises, available RGB lighting packages let you set the mood once the sun goes down—subtle, refined, and fully customizable.

The right pontoon accessories don’t just add fun—they make every outing easier and more comfortable.

Some Crest favorites include:

• LilliPad® Diving Board or Slide for swimmers and kids

• Watersports towers for towing and added performance

• Doggie drawers designed with your four-legged crew in mind

• Power biminis for shade at the touch of a button

• Chilled cupholders and wireless charging to keep essentials close

These features aren’t gimmicks—they’re practical, well-built additions designed to enhance the way your family spends time on the water.

There’s no single “right” way to build a pontoon—only the way that works best for you. Whether you’re prioritizing comfort, performance, style, or versatility, Crest offers the flexibility to design a boat that fits your life today and grows with your family tomorrow.

From floorplans and performance to colors and accessories, every Crest is built with intention—and crafted to last.
