Revel pontoon boats were designed for superior performance and handling.
Any new boatbuilder that enters the crowded pontoon boat market had better offer something distinctive. Enter Revel Boats, launched in April 2025 in Sweetwater, Tennessee, to build high-performance boats loaded with creature comforts. A patent-pending Steptoon hull with proprietary tracking fins coupled with standard Lenco Pro Control automatic trim tabs are designed to make for a smooth, stable ride.
Revel is part of the Correct Craft family of brands that includes Ranger Tugs, Cutwater fast cruisers, Nautique tow sport boats, and Parker fishing boats. Revel adds pontoons to the fleet mix, starting with a 25-foot version (RS25 and RS25L) and now the 23-foot RL23, available with multiple customization options, including seating, upholstery colors, finishes, and engine upgrades.
STANDOUT FEATURES
The bow layout accommodates up to six people, with a total boat capacity of 13 to 14, depending on configuration. An innovative see-through bow gate improves forward visibility for the skipper and makes docking easier. It’s also great for front boarding and launching cannonballs at anchor. A bow camera feeds video directly on the boat's 15-inch touchscreen at the helm.
Lounge seating aft is convertible to shift between conversation and relaxation, with copious storage (including space for a cooler) spread throughout the boat. A power bimini makes for push-button adjustment to changing sun conditions.
The focal point of the helm is a 15-inch touchscreen for system monitoring, but control wings on the steering wheel serve as primary controls. Built-in wireless smartphone connectivity comes standard. Front- and rearview cameras are designed to assist with docking, watersports, and low-speed maneuvering. The captain and co-captain seats adjust height and swing around toward the conversation.
The model is powered by Mercury outboard engines ranging from 150 to 300 horsepower. The boat’s sharp handling and plenty of propulsion power coupled with a custom Revel Ski Tow Bar that’s rated for Water Toys and Watersports should make for a thrilling day out on the water.
