2026 Avalon Venture 85 Versatile Rear Bench - 25 FT

Meet the **2026 Avalon Venture 85 Versatile Rear Bench** in ****—a 25-foot pontoon that looks ready for a postcard and behaves like it was built for real-life weekends. From the dock, the aluminum hull and twin 25" pontoons give it that confident, “let’s go find the good water” stance—steady, welcoming, and clearly designed around people having a great time.
At **25.4 feet** long with a **102" beam**, this pontoon feels roomy without feeling unwieldy. It’s the kind of layout that makes everyone naturally spread out instead of stacking up in one spot. Bring the whole crew—this one is rated for **13 passengers** and a **2,430 lb** weight capacity—so whether it’s a family flotilla, a friends-and-food cruise, or a “we’ll be back by sunset” kind of day, you’ve got the space and the comfort to do it right.
The vibe onboard is easygoing and social. You’ve got **three cockpit sofas** plus **six open-bow seats**, so conversation can happen in clusters—someone telling a story up front, someone else claiming the best view, and somebody inevitably guarding the snacks. And when it’s time to turn “hanging out” into “setting up,” the **cockpit table** is ready for everything from sandwiches to a deck of cards. Underfoot, **woven cockpit flooring** keeps things looking sharp while staying practical for lake days.
The **Versatile Rear Bench** name isn’t just for show—it’s the kind of detail that makes this boat feel like it’s thinking ahead for you. Whether you’re drifting and talking, pulling up for a break, or simply giving everyone their own place to settle in, the seating setup helps the day flow instead of forcing it.
Up at the helm, you get a dedicated **helm chair** and **remote outboard steering control**, so the captain’s job feels more “relax and enjoy” than “wrestle and manage.” And because the best days on the water need a soundtrack, the **Fusion®** system with **Bluetooth® audio** makes it simple: pair your phone, press play, and let the pontoon do what it does best—turn ordinary afternoons into stories.
When the sun gets serious, the **Bimini top** steps in to keep the shade exactly where you want it. And for peace of mind while you roam, there’s a **fuel level gauge** paired with a **25-gallon** tank—plenty of capacity for unhurried cruising, exploring new coves, and taking the long way back because nobody’s ready to be done.
Power flexibility is part of the charm here, too. With a minimum recommended **10 bhp** and a maximum recommended **140 bhp**, you can tailor the setup to your style—whether that means mellow, easy cruises or a more spirited pace. And even with all that capability, it stays manageable with a **dry weight of 2,450 lbs** and a clean, durable aluminum build.
In ****, this Avalon Venture 85 doesn’t just show up—it makes an entrance. It’s a pontoon built to host the day: roomy, comfortable, simple to enjoy, and always ready for “one more loop” before heading in.
