2026 Avalon Venture 85 Rear Fish - 25 FT

Meet the 2026 Avalon Venture 85 Rear Fish, a 25-foot pontoon that’s equal parts “bring the whole crew” and “let’s sneak off for a few casts before lunch.” Finished in ****, it has that head-turning look at the dock that says you showed up to have fun—but also came prepared.
At **25.4 feet** long with a **102-inch beam**, this pontoon feels roomy the moment you step aboard. The layout is made for spreading out: there’s seating for up to **13 passengers**, with a comfortable mix of **three cockpit sofas**, **two cockpit chairs**, and **open-bow seating for eight**. It’s the kind of setup where the group naturally finds their zones—someone’s claiming the bow to enjoy the breeze, someone else is anchored to conversation near the cockpit table, and a couple of dedicated anglers are already eyeing the back of the boat with purpose.
Because yes—this is the **Rear Fish** configuration, and it takes the “relax” part seriously while still making room for “let’s catch dinner.” Two **fishing pedestal chairs** give the anglers a proper perch when it’s time to focus, while everyone else can stay comfortably out of the way (and still close enough to offer completely unsolicited fishing advice).
Underneath, the Venture 85 rides on **two aluminum pontoons** with a **25-inch diameter**, matched to an aluminum hull that’s built with pontoon practicality in mind. The pontoon length comes in at **288 inches**, and the boat’s **dry weight is 2,450 lbs**—substantial enough to feel confident on the water, while still keeping that classic pontoon ease of ownership.
Day-to-day comfort is handled with the details that matter. The cockpit’s **woven flooring** is ready for wet feet and sandy flip-flops without feeling like you’re stepping onto something precious. Up at the helm, the captain gets a proper **chair** (because the best “captain’s seat” is one you actually want to sit in all day), plus **remote outboard steering control** for smooth, predictable handling. A **Bimini top** provides shade when the sun is doing the most, turning hot afternoons into long, leisurely cruises instead of quick sprints back to the ramp.
And when the playlist becomes part of the day’s mission, the **Fusion®** audio system with **Bluetooth®** makes it simple—phone connects, music starts, and suddenly everybody’s in a better mood. You’ll also appreciate the straightforward **fuel gauge warning** keeping tabs on the **25-gallon** tank, because nobody wants “How far are we from the dock?” to become the most repeated sentence on board.
Power-wise, this pontoon is happy across a wide range, with a **minimum recommended 10 bhp** and a **maximum recommended 140 bhp**. That means it can be set up for mellow cruises and easy days—or dialed in for more spirited lake laps—depending on how you like to spend your time on the water.
The result is a boat that feels like summer, in ****: welcoming, practical, and ready for the kind of days that start with “just a few hours” and end with “let’s do that again tomorrow.”
