Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 vs Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 — A Close Look at Two Pontoons

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 and the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 at 25,5 ft versus Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 at 25,5 ft. At 2 882 lbs and 2 861 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 32 gal and 32 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 13 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

One place where both boats are genuinely identical is tube construction: both run 2 aluminum tubes at 25" diameter. That shared spec means stability and buoyancy characteristics are closely matched — the ride difference you'll feel between them comes primarily from deck length, weight distribution, and motor choice.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 and its 200-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 vs Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 or the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013?
The Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 is the longer of the two at 25,5 feet overall. The Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 comes in at 25,5 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 or the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013?
For trailering, the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 has the edge at 2 861 lbs dry weight versus 2 882 lbs for the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 tops out at 150 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 13 passengers, while the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 is certified for 13. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 and Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.6 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
How do the fuel tanks compare on the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 and Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013?
Both boats carry similar fuel loads — 32 gallons and 32 gallons respectively. Range will depend heavily on motor choice, throttle usage, and whether you're on flat lake water or coastal chop.
Are the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 and Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Cypress Cay Cabana 240 2013 and the Cypress Cay Cozumel 240 2013 are built by Cypress Cay. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
