Hear What Real Sylvan Owners Are Saying:

  • I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but my experience with the Sylvan team was outstanding from start to finish. I was kept informed throughout the entire process, everything was delivered on time, and the walkthrough was thorough with all my questions answered. They even went above and beyond to get us the Electric Blue color my wife wanted, even though it wasn’t originally offered on the Platinum series. This is my second Sylvan, and based on both experiences, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly recommend!

  • We just purchased a new Sylvan with a Mercury 90hp. We bought a 20ft Mirage in 2018 and recently sold it. After 8 years the boat was in like new condition. We were soo impressed with the seats, friends had mold and discoloration on their seats even after being covered. Ours looked like new with no discoloration, cuts, or cracking. With the exception of the trim gauge going bad 7yrs in, we never had one issue with any part of the boat.We love the looks the features and the longevity of the pontoon. Fantastic pontoons

  • I have owned two Sylvan pontoons so far and both of them have been great pontoons for my family. I cannot say enough how Sylvans fit and finish was so impressive and many of their features fit our style of boating. Paired with the 200HP it was the best pontoon I have owned. I have used many pontoons since the 80’s and by far this brand was at the top of my list. Looking forward to getting my Sylvan L-3 CLZ DH back out on the water!!
