“Simple Luxury at an Unbeatable Value” is what you’ll find on the Avro Boats website, and they are right on target with their new Dart model. Available in a 19-foot or 21-foot configuration, these pontoon boats are designed to make your day on the water memorable for family and friends.
Designed and manufactured in Canada, the Avro Dart series reflects Avro Boats’ emphasis on robust build quality and thoughtful engineering tailored for northern climates and rugged use.
The Dart 21 is engineered for stability, buoyancy, and consistent handling in a variety of freshwater conditions, and is manufactured with two 25-inch diameter pontoons. Each pontoon is fabricated from 0.10” marine-grade aluminum and features airtight chambers for increased safety and resilience. The deck offers a spacious open concept layout, designed to comfortably accommodate nine passengers. There is ample room for seating and gear storage. Durable marine vinyl with diamond-detailed stitching is found throughout the boat.
Performance-wise, the Dart 21 comes standard with a 115 HP outboard. The Dart offers responsive acceleration, reduced drag, and excellent cornering stability. One benefit boaters love is that the Dart is lightweight enough to be hauled with a mid-size SUV or pickup, making it a great option for DIY boaters who frequent multiple lakes throughout the season.
