Forest River Marine — manufacturer of South Bay, Berkshire and Trifecta boats — has introduced an all-new pontoon brand called Dockside, which it calls an “approachable, entry-level pontoon boat line designed to welcome new boaters to the water while still appealing to the experienced.”
Dockside offers some of the most competitively priced options in its class, without compromising on quality, featuring standard blacked-out rails and a durable composite deck that is fully weather- and fade-resistant. Unlike many competitors, Dockside uses a composite deck, not marine-grade plywood. Priced to welcome first-time boaters (starting at just $25,999), Dockside opens the door for a new generation of pontoon owners to explore, unwind and connect on the water.
“From day one, our mission with Dockside has been to create something truly accessible — without sacrificing quality or enjoyment,” says Philip Podgorny, GM of Forest River Marine. “We’re inviting more people into the boating lifestyle with a product that’s fun and easy to own.
Dockside is not only a great first boat—it’s the beginning of a lifelong adventure.”
Dockside models include the 20-foot 20D, 20-foot, 10-inch 20DQ, as well as the 22-foot 22DF and 22DQ.
