Description

Bring on the fun with the 2026 SUN TRACKER® PARTY BARGE® 18 DLX! This lake-ready pontoon fits up to nine passengers and keeps them entertained all weekend long.

The 2026 model year brings some exciting changes to the 18 DLX. The lounge now features open storage compartments with extra cupholders built into the backrest. This ingenious use of space adds more than six cubic feet of extra storage space to the boat. The captain also gets a new console design with all the stops. The 17' 8" deck gives your crew three lounges and a rear-facing bench to relax in. Each lounge sports hidden compartments that secure all your supplies. The rear boarding platform features a new, wider telescoping boarding ladder with grab rails.

Whether you’re taking the kids out for fun, or you and your buddies are headed to the party, the PARTY BARGE 18 DLX is always game!
