When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Landau 2400 Signature 2008 and the Landau Atlantis 210 Cruise 2012 are pontoon designs with fiberglass 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 — Landau 2400 Signature 2008 at 24,0 ft versus Landau Atlantis 210 Cruise 2012 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Landau 2400 Signature 2008 tips the scales at 2 301 lbs — 236 lbs more than the Landau Atlantis 210 Cruise 2012 at 2 065 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 130 hp, the Landau 2400 Signature 2008 has a 40-hp advantage over the Landau Atlantis 210 Cruise 2012's 90-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 Landau 2400 Signature 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Landau Atlantis 210 Cruise 2012 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Landau 2400 Signature 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Both are 2-tube and 23-tube pontoon designs respectively. Tube diameter and gauge affect stability and load capacity — more so than most buyers realize when comparing on paper.
Bottom line: Choose the Landau 2400 Signature 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Landau Atlantis 210 Cruise 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
