Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Berkshire Pontoons 25SB STS 2021 vs Berkshire Pontoons STS 250CL 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Berkshire Pontoons 25SB STS 2021 vs Berkshire Pontoons STS 250CL 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Berkshire Pontoons 25SB STS 2021 has a 150-hp advantage over the Berkshire Pontoons STS 250CL 2013's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Berkshire Pontoons STS 250CL 2013 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Berkshire Pontoons 25SB STS 2021 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Berkshire Pontoons STS 250CL 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Berkshire Pontoons STS 250CL 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 25,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Berkshire Pontoons 25SB STS 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
