2025 Sun Tracker Party Barge 16 DLX

Year 2025
Length 18'5 ft

Cruise into the lake life with the 2025 SUN TRACKER® PARTY BARGE® 16 DLX. The most compact pontoon boat in the SUN TRACKER® family makes towing a breeze. Its deck has plenty of room for a crew of 7 friends and family. Let them kick back on the 3 luxurious corner lounges while the pilot sits at the helm in the swiveling captain’s chair. Each seat is wrapped in luxurious and durable vinyl. The wraparound fence sports a port wheelchair-accessible gate. You’ll also find gates at the fore and rear boarding platforms.

Stash rods and reels, water toys for the kids, and other gear in the lounges’ hidden under-seat storage areas. Bring the party to life with the standard Bluetooth®-compatible Wet Sounds® stereo. When the sun’s beating down, stay cool in the shade of the 7’ bimini top.

The captain can stand or sit proudly at the fiberglass-reinforced console equipped with a sport steering wheel and Mercury® binnacle control box. A storage space below the console holds extra snacks and supplies.

The PARTY BARGE® 16 DLX comes standard with a 20hp Mercury® ELPT FourStroke outboard motor and has a recommended maximum 50hp rating.
