A roomy 27‑foot tritoon with full bimini
The Gold Pontoon is a 27‑foot tritoon outfitted with a full‑length Bimini shade that can be rolled up entirely or deployed to protect the front or back of the boat, creating an adaptable platform for lounging or sheltering from the sun.
Customizable sun protection for long lake days
Full‑length shade lets groups choose between full coverage or partial shade by rolling the Bimini up or down — a simple, practical feature that defines the boat’s comfort profile for sunny Tahoe afternoons.
Room for a crowd and optional water‑sports gear
Seating for up to 13 passengers makes the tritoon suited to families or large friend groups; for those wanting more than just lounging, Tahoe Sports offers optional water‑sports gear rentals to expand how you use your time on the lake.
