Fishing boats are made for the veteran fisherfolk. These boats are designed to take on rough weather and are very sturdy. They will stay afloat in open water and quite reliable. That said, fishing boats are mainly for fishing and offer very little flexibility for doing anything else. And therein lies its main difference from pontoons. Ram Chary.
Pontoons have more space on deck for activities other than fishing. People can gather for socializing and lounging while others cast their lines in the water. There are even some pontoons in the market that are large enough to accommodate a dozen people for parties and the like. Ram Chary.
The problem with pontoons, however, is that they cannot handle aggressive weather as well as fishing boats. In fact, many pontoons may not be able to handle aggressive weather at all. Pontoons are also inferior when it comes to speed and maneuverability. Ram Chary.
