Manitou Cruise | 2022

The Manitou Cruise brings a paradigm shift and cuts through the sea of sameness that has characterized the pontoon industry for decades.

This boat is built on innovation, from the materials used to the manufacturing process, all the way to the seamless integration of its engine into the hull. Since the engine is low and mostly underwater, the consumer has the same advantages of a traditional outboard with the addition of more usable space, low noise, and reduced vibration, as well as peace of mind with the propeller tucked beneath both the platform and engine block. These benefits allow consumers to enhance all of their favorite activities on the Max deck, an additional usable space. The flip-back chairs and three-in-one bench seats make the layout customizable, the goal is to keep the right balance between functionality and elegance. The panels are made of aluminum, using an automotive stamping technique that significantly reduces harsh chemicals used during the manufacturing process. In fact, the boat is more than 93% recyclable.

The Manitou Cruise leverages the power of innovation, holistic design approach, and engineering to infuse the pontoon industry with new life.
