Overview
The Maibatsu Pontoon is a boats & watercraft-class watercraft from Maibatsu, commands Vice City's expansive waterways and offshore channels. Drawing clear inspiration from the Bennington S 23 Pontoon, it brings precision Japanese engineering to the streets of Vice City.
In Grand Theft Auto VI, vehicle handling and weight have been dramatically overhauled compared to GTA V. The Maibatsu Pontoon benefits from heavier physics simulation, realistic roll dynamics, and authentic torque curves designed to reward skilled drivers on both Leonida's open freeways and narrow downtown alleys.
Real-Life Inspiration
Maibatsu Pontoon
Manufactured by Maibatsu in the GTA universe.
Bennington S 23 Pontoon
Produced by Bennington.
The real-world Bennington S 23 Pontoon by Bennington serves as the primary design inspiration. GTA 6's interpretation preserves the signature proportions and key design language while applying Rockstar's characteristic satirical modifications to badges, grille patterns, and taillight clusters.

Twin Supercharged Marine Inboard V8s
Blistering acceleration across open water. Easily pulls away from standard Coast Guard interceptor patrols.
High-speed beaching causes catastrophic outdrive shearing; requires careful docking.
Customization Options
Rideout Customs support includes custom hull wraps, upgraded propulsion, marine audio systems, and deck lighting packages.
