2026 Godfrey Pontoon Boats Monaco 275 SBQ

Godfrey Monaco 275 SBQ: The Largest Monaco Split Bench Pontoon

1. General Information

The Godfrey Monaco 275 SBQ is the largest Split Bench model in Godfrey's redesigned Monaco series, the family pontoon range named a 2026 Boating Industry Top Product. At 8.56 m overall with a 2.59 m beam, it carries up to 14 passengers and accepts outboards of up to 450 hp. The Split Bench layout is designed to maximise passenger space and storage, and this longer platform adds a larger fuel capacity and a heavier build for bigger water. As an open deck boat there are no cabins or galley; the deck is devoted to comfortable seating, storage and open-air enjoyment.

2. Construction and Design

The Monaco 275 SBQ rides on 25-inch outer pontoon tubes with marine-grade decking and Godfrey's exclusive Slipstream motorpan; the specification lists a 27-inch inner tube. Four tube packages are available: a 25- or 27-inch two-tube set-up, a 27-inch Sport Tube, a 27-inch iMPACT triple tube, or a 29-inch iMPACT+ triple tube. With a dry weight of 2,080 kg and a 182 L fuel tank, it is the most substantial boat in the Split Bench line-up, with a modern exterior and new rail system to match.
