Relaxed luxury.

Since its humble beginnings in 1972, building hand-crafted pontoon boats in Mason, Michigan, Tahoe has grown into a worldwide leader for these fun, family oriented boats.

The multi award-winning company offers three categories of eight distinct levels of boats with over 100 variations of interior designs, colors and styles, with the Cascade 2385 J Lounger as the perfect mid-range selection.
All Tahoe pontoon boats follow strict company guidelines for safety and durability and go through rigorous testing during construction with 90% of all work made in-house.
“Tahoe’s Cascade continues to be one of the best-selling models in the entire pontoon world mainly because it comes loaded with standard features typically found on much more expensive boats,” says Matt Mrozinski of Lake Michigan Yacht Sales. “Of course, it has an unmistakable exterior profile.”
Offering deck and storage space that take full advantage of her 23-foot length and a generous 8.5-foot beam, the 2385 J Lounger features a spacious aft lounging area in addition to a pair of benches, one to port and the other to starboard, at the bow. The helm with removable windshield is to starboard, and both the interior and exterior areas are surrounded by stylish and contemporary appointments.
What you can’t see is Tahoe’s superior construction techniques expertly engineered, produced and installed from its in-house aluminum fabrication plant to a full furniture and canvas facility. In addition, proper ventilation in all storage compartments prevents the growth of mold.
“We sell a lot of tri-toons, and by putting either a Sport Tri-Toon Package or Waveglider Package on this boat, you get both unmatched performance along with high-end, luxury amenities, all for a mid-range price,” says Mrozinski.
