Godfrey Monaco 255 C: The Flagship Cruise Pontoon for Big Crews

1. General Information

The Godfrey Monaco 255 C is the largest model in the Cruise line-up of Godfrey's redesigned Monaco series, the family pontoon range named a 2026 Boating Industry Top Product. At 7.85 m overall with a 2.59 m beam, it is rated for up to 17 passengers and outboards of up to 450 hp, giving it the space and power to entertain a big crew in comfort. The Cruise layout puts sociability first: an aft L-shaped lounge wraps around a table for long lunches and conversation, and a spacious stern swim platform makes it easy to slip into the water or climb back aboard. As an open deck boat with no cabins or galley, the 255 C dedicates its generous deck to seating, storage and open-air enjoyment, excelling at full-day lake cruising, family gatherings, sunset outings and watersports when specified with more power.

2. Construction and Design

The Monaco 255 C is built on 25-inch outer pontoon tubes with marine-grade decking and Godfrey's exclusive Slipstream motorpan, and can be upgraded with four tube packages: a 25- or 27-inch two-tube set-up, a 27-inch Sport Tube with centre-tube lifting strakes, a 27-inch iMPACT triple tube, or the 29-inch iMPACT+ triple tube with oversized 6-inch lifting strakes, integrated underdeck skin and a fuel tank sized for single or twin engines. For owners planning bigger water or higher-horsepower set-ups, the iMPACT+ package is the natural partner to this model's 450 hp rating. Inside, integrated storage in the seat bases, floor and chaise keeps the large deck uncluttered, while plush upholstery and a modern elevated helm deliver a refined, contemporary feel.
