Bennington Celebrates 30 Years With Expanded 2027 Pontoon Lineup
Bennington Pontoons is marking its 30th anniversary with a 2027 lineup that includes limited-edition anniversary models, a redesigned R Series, a new high-performance Triptical Sport Package, and expanded personalization options across the range.
Bennington Pontoons has announced its 2027 model lineup as the company celebrates 30 years of boatbuilding.
The new lineup spans the S-One and S Series through Bennington's premium R, RX, Q and QX lines, with updates in performance, customization, technology, comfort, and styling. Among the major changes are a new exterior design for the R Series, standard tritoon construction on Bennington's premium lines, new audio and shade systems, and four new exterior colours.
“As Bennington celebrates 30 years, the 2027 lineup honors the craftsmanship and premium experience that built our reputation,” said Michael Shedivy, general manager, Bennington Marine, in a statement. “We listened closely to our dealers and customers, then focused every update on making boats easier to choose, more personal to own and more rewarding to operate. From a simpler entry into the brand to refined luxury and performance capability, the lineup builds on our legacy, while raising the bar for what comes next.”
30th Anniversary Limited Editions
Bennington will mark their 30-year history with limited-edition anniversary models celebrating the company's craftsmanship and heritage.
The commemorative boats will be available with either Midnight Blue or Sunset Red graphics packages and will receive exclusive 30th Anniversary badging. Other anniversary-specific features include RGB headlight startup animations, custom furniture packages, and a limited-edition steering wheel with a self-centering Bennington logo.
R Series Gets a New Exterior
The R Series will receive one of the most significant visual changes for 2027 with an all-new exterior inspired by Bennington's DockSpeed design language.
The redesign includes a sweeping bow profile, dynamic body lines, formed louvers, and a diamond-fade grille. Accent lighting is also available.
The new R Series will also use exterior panels mounted both inside and outside the rail structure. Bennington says the new styling adds depth to the exterior compared to the flat-panel construction that's traditionally associated with pontoons.
The R Line is entry into its premium lineup. For 2027, the R Line comes with standard tritoon construction, while the series will continue to offer a range of luxury layouts and customization options. The R Line boasts capacity for up to 15 people and horsepower ratings ranging from 150 to 500 hp.
The RX Sport will continue to represent the performance-oriented side of the R Series, with a sleek exterior, plush seating, and twin-engine capability. RX Sport models range from 23 to 25 feet with horsepower ratings up to 600 hp.
Triptical Sport Package Rated for Up to 1,000 HP
One of the most significant performance changes for 2027 is Bennington's new Triptical Sport Package (TSP).
The package will be available on the RT, R, RX, Q and QX premium series as an upgrade from the ESP T2 configuration. It is designed for 8'6" beamed twin-engine boats and is rated for up to 1,000 hp using twin 500-hp outboards. Depending on the model, the package can accommodate as many as 16 passengers.
The Triptical running surface uses three 29-inch elliptical tubes, each 25" high, with 8.5" of spacing between the tubes. Fuel capacity is 116 gallons (440 liters), with an optional second 116-gallon tank available for those seeking longer range capacity.
Bennington has also redesigned the transom with spray shielding and water-management features for TSP models. The company says the revised running-surface geometry improves handling and maneuverability, particularly with twin-engine configurations, while the redesigned architecture increases carrying capacity.
TSP packages are available on twin-engine boats with an 8'6" beam and is compatible with the R, RX Sport, Q and QX lines.
S-One Adds More Choices
For Bennington entry-evel lineup, the S-One will receive additional interior and exterior colour choices along with more personalization options.
For 2027, Bennington will also introduce an 'a-la-carte' selection of popular options while retaining its existing Good, Better, Best and Best+ package structure.
For S Series models 20' and longer, buyers can also select the new Reserve Furniture Package. The package uses sculpted foam contours, upgraded details, and a turned-in bench design.
Four Reserve Furniture colourways will be offered: Shadow Grey, Dolce Serene Soft Touch, Havana Brown, and Halo Silver. The base vinyls include contrasting accents and customizable interior accent colours.
S Series boats also gain access to the Click & Cruise accessory system. The rail-mounted system allows owners to add accessories including tether kits, rod holders, SUP/pad racks, and side-shade kits. Bennington says accessories can be selected when a boat is purchased or ordered and delivered with it.
The S Series will remain Bennington's broadest-volume lineup, with multiple floorplans and options. The S-One collection ranges from 16 to 22 feet, while the broader S Line spans 20 to 22 feet.

Both lines are included among the models receiving standardized tritoon construction and PowerShade for 2027.

Vivid UX Adds Docking and Convenience Features
Bennington's Vivid UX digital helm will also receive several updates for 2027.
The new DockEase Bow Camera will be mounted beneath the port-side bow nosecone and can be selected through the main display to provide additional forward visibility while maneuvering and docking.
Vivid UX can also display real-time fuel consumption in gallons per hour. New user modes allow owners to save RGB lighting themes, brightness settings, and automatic-volume preferences, as well as captain's chair positions on equipped models.
For the R, RX, Q and QX lines with Sport or Pillowtop furniture, Bennington is offering an optional heated bow bench. The automotive-style heating elements automatically shut off after one hour.
Optional six-way adjustable captain and co-captain recliners provide four inches of adjustment along with tilt, up/down and fore/aft movement.
Other 2027 perks include wireless and USB charging systems, a Comfort Step boarding ladder, NOCO onboard battery chargers, a ski tow bar, and increased capacity on certain models.
