Godfrey's 2027 'AquaPatio' expands its twin-engine platform, giving pontoon owners more room for watersports and family cruising, with capacity for up to 1,000 horsepower. The sport-luxury boat also reworks the helm around a standard 9-inch touchscreen, with an optional 12-inch display, plus built-in digital gauges and storage that keep captains connected on longer outings.
A 'Click & Cruise' rail system lets owners mount and move accessories without tools so that the same deck can shift between entertaining and watersports. Godfrey also offers the AquaPatio with 'RENUIT' cushion covers, making upholstery easier to refresh over time without special skills. Orders open through authorized dealers in October.
This redesign positions the 1,000-horsepower ceiling and tool-free accessory rails as an upsell for owners replacing a family pontoon before the next season. The combination shifts competition in sport-luxury pontoons toward on-water reconfiguration, not just seating and trim finishes.
