Barletta Boats Introduces Next-Generation Luxury Pontoon for 2023


Meet the Barletta Reserve, Barletta Boats brand-new unreleased model that is redefining the perception of pontoon boats. The brand-new vessel has yet to be unveiled and released to the public, it’s expected to be launched in the winter of 2022. Luckily for you, Wayzata Marine attended the 2023 Barletta Dealer Meeting at their Bristol, IN factory and we have an exclusive first look at this impressive new-generation pontoon.




With a 28-foot, 6-inch length and an 8-foot, 6-inch beam, the Reserve will become the new flagship model for Barletta Boats, owned by Winnebago Industries. At first glance this pontoon is in a class of its own with a telescoping convertible hardtop that provides protection from the elements. The hand-crafted tower can be raised or lowered with the touch of a button and has capabilities of opening and closing the sunshade with ease. Cruising around with the tower lowered gives this boat a sleek, aggressive stance. The Reserve will be propelled by a color matched 400 horsepower Mercury motor fashioned to match the exterior of the boat.


The interior is set to have two potential floorplan layouts: the V26UC & V26ML. The V26UC is the current Ultra-Lounge layout with a co-captain’s chair, shown below. The V26ML is the all-new Meridian Lounge layout which is new for 2023 and features a spacious walk through. There are also new furniture color packages that are exclusive to the Reserve model only. Other features include improved seating to promote a more luxurious, comfortable ride, pop-up arm rests, and RGB color changing interior lighting.


This new model is equipped with a host of cutting-edge technologies that provide intelligent and seamless control. Specifically, the Omni 360-View Camera System features 4 onboard cameras located in the bow, stern, port and starboard of the boat providing a clear view to assist when parking and pulling tubers/skiers. It also has a fully immersed Harman-Kardon sound system with upgraded electronics to elevate your listening experience.



Production begins this fall and there will be limited capacity for delivery to key markets. You can expect to see a public launch this winter, 2022. To inquire about ordering or more questions, you can contact us here.




About Barletta

In 2017, Barletta Boat Company was created out of the desire to create a pontoon boat manufacturer that would change the industry and shake things up. The President and Founder, Bill Fenech noticed that there was space for a boat builder that could not only produce a high-end product but also back their customers as if they were family. From the start, it encompasses the highest quality materials, thoughtful features that come standard, the best customer service, and the top dealer network in the industry. Bill stressed that “We are building pontoon boats that will make a difference in the industry, and ultimately, in your family’s experience. My goal is not to be the biggest pontoon boat manufacturer in the industry; my goal is to be the best pontoon boat manufacturer in the industry.” Learn more about the Barletta at www.barlettaboats.com
