Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 DLX For Sale

The Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 DLX is a twin-log pontoon boat rated for 11 people, built for family days on the water and light water sports. The DLX version was lengthened two feet to 24 feet 2 inches overall on an 8.5-foot beam, which freed up a reconfigured floor plan with a 12-inch fore deck and a double-wide lounge aft to port. A triple-log version is also offered for buyers who want more flotation and quicker planing. Used examples turn up at accessible prices, with a 2019 model in good condition listed under $25,000.

Seating runs the full perimeter, with couches port and starboard in the bow, an L-shaped lounge, and a coveted aft-facing lounge in the stern that measures 3 feet 6 inches across and doubles as a sunpad. Storage hides almost everywhere: under the seat bottoms, behind the backrests, and in a locking dry compartment. The patented StowMore seat back lifts and slides away to open the space behind the seat that is normally wasted on a pontoon. One lounge conceals a fold-out changing curtain with a fold-down seat, and there is a dedicated spot for a wastebasket. The aft boarding platform has a four-step polished stainless ladder to starboard with oversized steps, while a port boarding gate opens to 28 inches wide for wheelchair access. A removable tow pylon and a cocktail table that fits receptacles at the bow or amidships round out the cockpit. New for 2026, the boat carries 20 cup holders, including four in each rear corner.

The helm is built around a compact console to preserve seating room. Earlier boats use analog gauges, while the 2026 model adds the Sun Tracker Flare 7-inch digital touchscreen that displays speed, engine temperature, fuel level, and fuel burn rate. A Wet Sounds stereo with four speakers handles audio with Bluetooth, USB, and auxiliary inputs. The high-back captain's chair reclines, swivels, slides fore and aft, and has adjustable armrests positioned for throttling, paired with a soft-touch sport steering wheel and a tilt column. A cell-phone pocket, 12-volt outlet, horn button, and two cup holders sit within reach.

Performance with the Mercury 150 four-stroke is strong for the class. With a 16x11 stainless three-blade prop and a 1.92:1 gear reduction, the 22 DLX hit a top speed of 36.1 mph at 5,800 rpm and reached 30 mph in 9.4 seconds, with 0-20 mph in 4.5 seconds. Best cruise came at 3,000 rpm, where it ran 15.6 mph while burning 3.3 gallons per hour for 4.8 mpg, giving a range of about 138 statute miles from the 32.1-gallon fuel tank with a 10% reserve. The boat carries a 90-horsepower base engine; tri-toon builds have been run with a Mercury 200 that pulls skiers easily. Steering stays responsive with a 4.2 ratio, and the 24-inch multi-chamber pontoons with spray rails kept the deck dry across wakes without flex or pounding.

The deck is built from seven-ply pressure-treated 3/4-inch marine plywood with a limited lifetime warranty, topped with easy-clean vinyl and 26-ounce upholstery over varying-density foam for UV resistance and ride comfort. The 9- to 10-foot color-matched bimini uses a quick-lift frame that one person can raise alone, plus LED courtesy lights. Options worth weighing include a tandem-axle trailer with brakes on one or both axles, a mooring cover that mounts to the rail-lock track, and a transom shower. The 2026 boats add pearl-white fencing with a gray interior and raised badging front and back.
