2026 Avalon Venture 85 Elite Windshield - 25 FT

Meet the ** 2026 Avalon Venture 85 Elite Windshield**—a 25-foot pontoon that shows up in **** and immediately looks like it’s ready to host the best day of the week. It’s the kind of boat that doesn’t just get you on the water; it turns “let’s go for a ride” into “how are we already planning the next one?”
At **25.4 feet** long with a **102-inch beam**, this Venture 85 brings a confident, steady footprint that feels welcoming the moment everyone steps aboard. And with room for **up to 13 passengers**, it’s built for the full crew—friends, family, neighbors you accidentally invited when they saw you loading the cooler. The layout makes it easy to spread out without anyone feeling like they’re stuck on the sidelines, and the vibe stays social thanks to a **cockpit table** that’s basically a magnet for snacks, cards, and “we should totally…” conversations.
Up front, the bow seating opens things up with **8 open-bow seats**, giving your group that classic “best seat in the house” feeling while you cruise. Throughout the cockpit, you’ve got **4 sofas**, so there’s no shortage of places to lounge, stretch out, or claim your favorite spot before the boat even leaves the dock.
The “Elite Windshield” part isn’t just a name—this boat includes a **walk-through windshield**, so moving between areas feels natural and uncluttered. It’s a small detail that ends up being a big deal on real days out: easier flow, fewer interruptions, and a more “let’s keep cruising” kind of rhythm.
Underfoot, the **woven cockpit flooring** brings a comfortable, finished feel that suits everything from barefoot mornings to late-afternoon rides back to the ramp. Overhead, the **Bimini top** adds shade when you want it, keeping the helm and seating area more comfortable when the sun decides it’s the main character.
At the helm, you get a dedicated **helm chair** (one helm seat) and **remote outboard steering control**, giving you a clean, focused command center that’s easy to settle into. And when it’s time to set the mood, the **Fusion® audio system with Bluetooth®** makes it simple—pair up, press play, and let the soundtrack do the rest.
This pontoon’s structure is built around **two pontoons**, each with a **25-inch diameter**, paired with an **aluminum hull material** that’s all about durability and confidence on the water. With a **dry weight of 2,450 lbs** and a **weight capacity of 2,430 lbs**, it’s designed to handle real-world days—people, gear, and whatever “just one more thing” ends up coming along.
Fuel for the fun comes courtesy of a **25-gallon tank**, and you’ll have a **fuel gauge** to keep tabs as the day unfolds. Power flexibility is part of the story too: it’s rated from a **minimum recommended 10 bhp** up to a **maximum recommended 140 bhp**, so you can build your setup around the kind of boating you love—easygoing cruises, sandbar hopping, or a little extra pep when the lake opens up.
In ****, this Avalon doesn’t just blend into the marina—it brings its own energy. If your ideal day includes a smooth cruise, a full boat of laughter, good music, and a layout made for relaxing, this **2026 Venture 85 Elite Windshield** is ready to make it happen—again and again.
