Barletta Pontoons Series Comparison
So you’re considering purchasing a pontoon boat from Barletta and you’re curious about the differences in the line-up and are trying to figure out what model is best for you. In this article I will break down the three series which are the Cabrio, Corsa, and Lusso to help you make an informed buying decision when shopping for a Barletta pontoon boat. Before we get into that, here’s a glimpse of how the brand came to be and.
In 2017, Barletta Boat Company was created out of the desire to create a pontoon boat manufacturer that would change the industry and shake things up. The President and Founder, Bill Fenech noticed that there was space for a boat builder that could not only produce a high-end product but also back their customers as if they were family. From the start, it encompasses the highest quality materials, thoughtful features that come standard, the best customer service, and the top dealer network in the industry.
"My goal is to be the best pontoon boat manufacturer in the industry."
Bill stressed that “We are building pontoon boats that will make a difference in the industry, and ultimately, in your family’s experience. My goal is not to be the biggest pontoon boat manufacturer in the industry; my goal is to be the best pontoon boat manufacturer in the industry.”
Barletta Lusso
Premium Luxury.
The Lusso is the top-of-the-line model and the first boat to come out of the Barletta factory, formerly called the L Class. This boat is the most robust, seaworthy pontoon on the market. In fact, the first ever L-Class pontoon boat won Barletta the “Most Innovation Pontoon Boat Brand” award by the NMMA at its public debut in 2018.
This is the premier choice in style, comfort, and luxury for boaters wanting the best of everything. The Lusso has the highest quality construction due to an over-built heavy frame which is made of double I-beam cross members, heavy-duty M brackets, and top-end materials. Adding to that, it features Barletta’s patented underdeck structure featuring V.I.P Technology - providing the smoothest, quietest, rattle-free ride in the industry - bar none. The Italian-inspired luxury furniture, high-end electronics and classic styling will turn heads.
The Lusso series changed the entire game, not just for pontoon manufacturers but for the marine industry as a whole. It established Barletta as the top brand and set the tone for each series that came after it. The Lusso breathed life into the luxury pontoon boat segment by introducing what would become the infamous Barletta DNA.
The Lusso is available in 23 and 25 foot model lengths with capacities up-to 16* and can be equipped with a 450** hp engine.

Barletta Corsa
Sporty Luxury.
The Corsa is Barletta’s mid-level model and is the newest line launched for the 2021 model year. The design was crafted to have a sporty edge inside and out.
This boat is built for those who want a sleek, sporty, aggressive stance without having to shop at higher price points. Sleek exterior lines with race-car feel, chrome badging, the best helm in its class and interior furniture featuring bold color choices.
Over the years, pontoons didn’t necessarily have a reputation that appealed to the younger crowd, such as wakeboarding boats do. The Corsa breaks through that stigma and is not just your grandparent’s slow-cruiser. If you’re looking for a sharp, comfortable, well-built boat the Corsa is your answer. It will keep heads turning and you’ll be the life of the party among your friends on the water.
The Corsa is available in 21,23 and 25-foot model lengths with capacities up-to 16* and can be equipped with a 450** hp engine.

What’s exceptional is the Cabrio touts the same high-end fit and finish, innovation and performance that Barletta is known for. The floor plans offered within this series are plentiful and the standard features it offers are also remarkable. For instance, every Cabrio includes a power bimini which is unheard of for most brands’ entry-level options. But again, the Cabrio is in the Barletta family, and therefore, it’s not your typical entry-level boat.
The Cabrio is available in 20, 21, and 24 foot-model lengths with capacities up-to 14* and can be equipped with a 250** hp motor.
