Looking for an Affordable Pontoon? Meet the Barletta Sanza

Looking for an Affordable Pontoon? Meet the Barletta Sanza Looking for an affordable pontoon boat but don’t want to give up quality? The 2026 Barletta Sanza is a brand-new series designed to bring Barletta’s build quality and thoughtful features to a lower price point. In this video, I walk through the Barletta Sanza with Austin Jenkins from Texas Marine at the 2026 Houston Boat Show, highlighting what makes this model more affordable—and what Barletta intentionally kept the same. The Sanza is aimed squarely at entry-level pontoon buyers, first-time boat owners, or anyone who wants Barletta quality at an affordable price. What we cover in this walkthrough: Why the Barletta Sanza exists and who it’s for Where Barletta simplified things to reduce cost What has changed vs. more premium Barletta models: 👉 Single manual bimini (vs. double powered bimini on higher-end Barlettas) 👉 Slightly less interior space with a generous front deck 👉 More basic dash and gauge panel What has remained the same: 👉 Barletta’s famous built-in dog bowl holder 🐶 👉 Built-in trash receptacle 👉 Dry storage compartments under bench seating 👉 Same treated plywood deck with V.I.P. Technology (Vibration Isolation Pad) 👉 Barletta’s see-through “doggie dock-view” door This particular model (22') has seating for up to 12 passengers and includes a Tow bar for tubing and watersports. It is packaged with a Mercury 150 HP outboard—plenty for pulling tubers. The price at the boat show was $52,995 (excluding trailer). If you’re shopping for an affordable pontoon boat and wondering whether the Barletta Sanza is the right fit, this walkthrough will help you decide.
