Recently, Barletta Boats held their 2023 Dealer Meeting at their factory in Bristol, IN. Dealers from all over the country came to check out what’s new for 2023 and test drive the new boats. We attended this dealer only meeting and have all the details on the new models!


If you’re considering purchasing a Lusso and are curious what the new improvements are for 2023 then keep reading. In this article, we will break down the Major Changes, New Standards, Improved Standards, New Options and Improved Options. 


The Lusso is the top-of-the-line model and the first boat to come out of the Barletta factory, formerly called the L Class. This boat is the most robust, seaworthy pontoon on the market. In fact, the first ever L-Class pontoon boat won Barletta the “Most Innovation Pontoon Boat Brand” award by the NMMA at its public debut in 2018.

This is the premier choice in style, comfort, and luxury for boaters wanting the best of everything. The Lusso has the highest quality construction due to an over-built heavy frame which is made of double I-beam cross members, heavy-duty M brackets, and top-end materials. Adding to that, it features Barletta’s patented underdeck structure featuring V.I.P Technology - providing the smoothest, quietest, rattle-free ride in the industry - bar none. The Italian-inspired luxury furniture, high-end electronics and classic styling will turn heads.
