Bennington has introduced its model year 2027 pontoon lineup as it marks 30 years in premium pontoon boating. The range spans the S-One through to the R, RX, Q and QX series, with anniversary editions, a redesigned R Series and new ownership technology among the additions. Performance buyers can specify the new Triptical Sport Package, which supports up to 1,000 horsepower and up to 16 passengers, depending on the model. The launch also brings more colour, furniture, audio, shade and helm options across the portfolio.

Anniversary Models Mark Milestone

Bennington’s 30th Anniversary Limited Edition models are offered with Midnight Blue or Sunset Red graphics packages. The boats feature exclusive anniversary badging, addressable RGB headlight startup animation, custom furniture packages and a limited-edition steering wheel with a self-centering logo.

Michael Shedivy, general manager at Bennington Marine, said:

“As Bennington celebrates 30 years, the 2027 lineup honors the craftsmanship and premium experience that built our reputation. We listened closely to our dealers and customers, then focused every update on making boats easier to choose, more personal to own and more rewarding to operate. From a simpler entry into the brand to refined luxury and performance capability, the lineup builds on our legacy while raising the bar for what comes next.”

Redesigned R Series

The R Series receives an all-new exterior influenced by Bennington’s DockSpeed design language. A sweeping bow profile, dynamic body lines, formed louvers, diamond-fade grille and available accent lighting are intended to give the series a more sculpted appearance, while panels mounted inside and outside the rail structure add depth.

Bennington is also making tritoon construction and PowerShade standard on the R, RX, Q and QX series, streamlining ordering while bringing the features to more models.

Performance Package Adds Capacity

The new Triptical Sport Package is available as an upgrade from ESP T2 on RT, R, RX, Q and QX premium series models. It supports twin 500-horsepower engines, for up to 1,000 horsepower, and can accommodate up to 16 passengers depending on the model.

The package uses three 29-inch elliptical tubes, each 25 inches high, with 8.5 inches between them. It has a 116-gallon fuel capacity, with an optional dual 116-gallon configuration, alongside a new transom, spray shielding and revised running-surface geometry for twin-engine configurations.

More Choice Across Entry Models

S-One models gain expanded interior and exterior colours, further personalisation options and an a-la-carte menu of popular options. Bennington’s Good, Better, Best and Best+ package structure remains in place for buyers and dealers.

For S Series boats of 20 feet and longer, the optional Reserve furniture package introduces Luxe-inspired styling with sculpted foam contours and a turned-in bench design. Four coordinated colourways include Shadow Grey, Dolce Serene Soft Touch, Havana Brown and Halo Silver base vinyls. S Series models also receive the Click & Cruise accessory system, covering tether kits, rod holders, SUP/pad racks and side-shade kits.

Technology And Comfort Updates

Across the 2027 range, Bennington has added new bimini and arch designs, a seven-stage Rockford Fosgate audio range and four exterior colours: Juniper Green, Metallic Radiant Sand, Bayside Blue and Metallic Sienna Brown.

The Vivid UX digital helm adds DockEase Bow Camera functionality, real-time fuel-burn information and user modes that can save RGB colour themes, brightness levels, auto-volume preferences and, on equipped models, captain’s chair positions. Other options include a heated bow bench, six-way adjustable captain and co-captain recliners, wireless and USB charging, a Comfort Step boarding ladder, NOCO onboard battery chargers and a ski tow bar.
