deck boat

Flat recreational vessel

A deck boat is a recreational powerboat with a wide, flat deck and open bow seating, designed to maximize usable space for passengers.

It combines elements of a pontoon boat's roominess with a traditional V-hull's performance.

Popular for lake activities, deck boats accommodate large groups for swimming, tubing, or day cruising: We took the deck boat out with twelve people and still had room.
