Escape pontoon boats are built of GRP with stainless steel floats. The shipyard's production site is located in Little Falls, Minnesota.

The customer has rich opportunities to influence both the appearance of the boat and its technical content, «which makes»each boat - already quite original - unique.

Range of boats

The company's pontoons are grouped in two series. Escape TTT (Tapered Tube Technology) are 6.4-7.6 m long models with three pontoon bases. They are characterized by a special innovative design of floats, which provides improved speed characteristics of boats, as well as fuel economy. The Escape RT series includes the less expensive 6-7.3 m long models with two or three traditionally shaped pontoon bases. With all its obvious improvements coming from the world of «standard boats», Escape boats remain those pontoons with all their advantages, such as large capacity (up to 16 people) and useful space, comfort, stability and safety.

Features

In a desire to move away from standard solutions in the segment of self-propelled pontoons, Escape engineers have created from these initially clumsy boats with a mass of restrictions comfortable luxury boats with high speed performance, manageability and incredibly stylish design. Among other things, they managed to do it thanks to Larson Boats' centuries of experience in manufacturing other types of boats. The result is a kind of hybrid of pontoon boat and runabout.
