Sun Tracker Party Barge 24 XP3: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The SunTracker Party Barge 24XP3 is a pontoon boat clearly designed with family entertainment in mind. It comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests and offers a variety of seating and lounging options, making it an ideal platform for social gatherings on the water. This review provides a comprehensive walkthrough of its features, performance evaluation, and overall suitability as a recreational vessel.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The boat’s exterior is thoughtfully arranged to maximize guest comfort and social interaction. At the stern, a couch to starboard seats three to four people, with storage conveniently located underneath. Opposite this is a double-wide, aft-facing chase lounge that also serves as a sunning area. The cockpit transitions from a vinyl wet area to a carpeted dry area, though some padding beneath the carpet would enhance comfort. Forward of the cockpit, an L-shaped sofa upholstered in UV-resistant marine-grade vinyl features multi-density foam padding and includes an aluminum lock box for securing valuables. Two table mounts are provided—one centrally located in the cockpit and another in the bow—to facilitate dining and socializing. The bow seating includes port and starboard couches with rotocast molded seats that resist rot and wood degradation. Additional features include portable drink holders attached by Velcro, under-seat cargo nets, and ample storage space. A 9-foot color-matched BEMEDE top provides shade to keep the cockpit cool during sunny days.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is designed with a minimalist yet elegant approach. A modest smoked windscreen sits above two gauges and a faux-wood panel, flanked by switches on both sides. The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base, and engine controls are positioned vertically for ease of use. The helm features a Jensen stereo system with MP3 jack and Bluetooth streaming capabilities, complemented by four directional speakers placed fore and aft. The bucket helm seat slides, swivels, and includes flip-up armrests, with multi-density foam and soft upholstery ensuring operator comfort. Under the helm console, space is allocated for a cooler and a fire extinguisher, enhancing convenience and safety. Navigation lights are mounted on the deck, although relocating them higher on the fences could reduce tripping hazards.
Power and Performance
This test boat was equipped with an optional 200-horsepower Mercury Verado outboard engine, though the standard offering is 150 horsepower. The fuel fill is conveniently located just ahead of the engine, with small platforms on either side to facilitate daily maintenance checks. The boat measures 26 feet 2 inches in length overall with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and an empty weight of 3,095 pounds. With test conditions including one quart of fuel, two people, and the 200-horsepower engine, the estimated test weight was 4,067 pounds. Performance testing revealed a top speed of 40.5 miles per hour at 6,200 RPM, consuming 19.75 gallons per hour and providing a range of approximately 65 miles. The most efficient cruise speed was 15.4 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM, burning 3.2 gallons per hour and extending the range to 152 miles with nearly 10 hours of endurance. Acceleration was brisk, with a time to plane of 3.4 seconds, 20 miles per hour reached in 4.4 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 7.6 seconds. The triple-tube XP3 performance package allows the boat to plane from a fairly level attitude; applying trim raises the bow for optimal cruising, reduces spray, and improves handling. The boat remains relatively flat in gentle turns, leaning slightly outward in harder turns, and responds well to helm inputs, making it suitable for towing activities.
Additional Features and Amenities
The SunTracker Party Barge 24XP3 includes practical features to enhance the onboard experience. The aft section of the lounge lifts to reveal a properly secured battery compartment, and corner braces and cleats are robustly fastened for durability. A full-width swim platform with a four-step reboarding ladder on the starboard side facilitates easy water access. For privacy and convenience, a changing room is integrated into the design, deployable by pulling a handle and locking it securely in place. Inside, the space is sufficient to turn around comfortably, and a pop bench seat is included for safety.
Conclusion
The SunTracker Party Barge 24XP3 lives up to its name as an outstanding entertainment platform for families and groups. Its well-thought-out seating arrangements, durable construction, and solid performance make it a versatile and enjoyable pontoon boat. The optional 200-horsepower engine provides strong acceleration and cruising capabilities, while the onboard amenities support comfort and convenience. Overall, this model offers a balanced combination of social space, performance, and practical features suitable for a variety of recreational boating activities.
