Building on its legacy of durability and enduring quality, Godfrey Pontoon Boats introduces a complete redesign of the Sanpan and Monaco series for model year 2026. Whether cruising, anchoring at the sandbar, or enjoying watersports, the Sanpan and Monaco models provide exceptional comfort for the entire family.

The all-new fiberglass exterior on the Sanpan series blends sleek, modern aesthetics with robust durability, delivering a secure and stable ride while elevating the boat’s visual appeal.

At the helm, a 12-inch multifunction display, intuitive digital switching, and a custom user interface enhance control and visibility. For frequently used functions, six tactile push buttons offer a refreshingly simple alternative to screen fatigue — striking the perfect balance between modern tech and practical design.

Boarding and exiting are easier than ever thanks to an innovative push-button entry door system with magnetic hold-open technology. And with power-actuated movement and an integrated canopy, the new Grand Luxe Arch lets users adjust shade and style at the touch of a button.

The Monaco also features modernized rails for an updated look while maintaining strength and durability. 

Focusing on increased usability, the helm has a 5-inch multifunction display, digital switching, new gauges, a glass windscreen, and a wireless phone charger, making navigation more intuitive and comfortable while improving control and visibility. 

Additionally, a standard trash can mounted inside the helm door features a pass-thru flapper for convenient trash disposal. The SeaView bow gate lets your furry friends enjoy the ride with a clear view from the front of the boat, keeping them happy and part of the adventure.

Both models feature a new center tube and centrally positioned fuel tank, enhancing flotation, performance, and carrying capacity.

New features, such as NytCruz Auto Navigation and Anchor Lights activate automatically when needed, allowing boaters to spend less time managing controls and more time enjoying the water. The innovative Click & Cruise Rail technology lets users secure accessories along the exterior rail in seconds, giving the freedom to create the perfect setup for many on-the-water activities. 

Ergonomically designed furniture, paired with Soft Touch vinyl enhances comfort, while Cool Touch seating keeps surfaces pleasant under the sun — and for even greater comfort, a new heated and cooled helm seat option is now available.

Every refreshed Godfrey model is a unique entertaining space that allows owners and their friends to gather, travel, relax and explore the water in style. With the new Sanpan and Monaco, expect to go farther and turn heads along the way.
