2021 South Bay 222RS LE

Looking for the perfect all‑around family pontoon that's equal parts comfort, style, and fun? Meet this 2021 South Bay 222RS LE - a value-packed 22-foot pontoon that's built for long days on the water, sunset cruises, and everything in between. If you've been dreaming about upgrading your lake life, this boat checks all the boxes.

This 222RS LE is part of South Bay's LE Series, which means you get the same quality construction and smart design South Bay is known for, without the premium price tag. You'll notice the difference the moment you step aboard: a spacious rear-seating layout, plush furniture, and a smartly designed helm that makes driving easy and enjoyable. With room for family, friends, coolers, water toys, and more, this is a boat that turns every weekend into a mini vacation.

Performance-wise, the 222RS LE is built on 25" diameter pontoons with South Bay's V-Lite style performance deck construction, giving you a smooth, stable ride with confident handling. It's rated for up to 150 horsepower, so you can cruise efficiently, pull a tube, or pick up speed for a fun, sporty feel on open water. The roughly 27-gallon fuel tank means you can stay out longer without constantly running back to the dock to refuel.

Comfort is where this boat really shines. The rear seating (RS) layout creates a social, lounge-style cockpit where everyone can stretch out and relax. There's generous seating throughout, with wraparound lounges up front and roomy rear seating that's perfect for hanging out at anchor or watching the action behind the boat. Storage is tucked under the seats and throughout the boat, so you can keep life jackets, lines, and gear organized and out of the way.

Overhead, you've got a 10' Bimini top that quickly deploys to give you shade during those hot, sunny afternoons. When the sun starts to drop, switch on the LED lighting and keep the good times going into the evening. The helm is designed with the captain in mind: clear gauges, easy-to-reach switches, comfortable mid- or high-back recliner-style captain's chair, and space for a depth finder or fish finder/screen depending on setup.

Entertainment is a must on a boat like this, and the 222RS LE delivers with a Bluetooth-ready stereo system and multiple speakers placed around the boat. Pair your phone, hit play, and you've instantly got your own floating patio with a soundtrack. Add in the stainless ski tow bar (commonly included on RS models) and you're set up for tubes, skis, or boards for the kids and kids-at-heart.

Construction and details are classic South Bay: aluminum pontoons, reinforced splash fins, quality railing, stainless steel hardware, and a one-piece performance deck designed to be solid underfoot. The boat is laid out to be easy to own and easy to use, with boarding via a stern platform and telescoping ladder, plenty of cup holders, and space to move around without feeling cramped. It's the kind of layout that works just as well for a quiet morning coffee cruise as it does for a busy holiday weekend with a full crew
