We get only so much time with each boat we test for this guide, but when we climbed aboard this Infinity 270 RFL, we pushed the deadline as long as we could. We did that so we could continue to enjoy the air-cushioned soft ride as the three tubes slid over the chop. And no matter where we sat, the thick upholstery dampened the vibration even more.

At the helm in the captain’s seat, armrests, a reclining back, and fore-and-aft adjustments provide the ideal driving position regardless of the skipper’s height. A tilt wheel ensures additional ease, plus an unobstructed view of the instrumentation and the Lowrance Elite 5 GPS/sonar on our tester’s helm. Navigational visibility forward was also enhanced by the raised platform, upon which the skipper’s chair stood. That visibility lets passengers unwind, worry-free, on the lounge seats ahead of the wheel — which are long enough for a relaxing snooze, but we suspect most riders will lean back against the bolsters and enjoy the view forward.

The passenger seat is like an overstuffed living-room armchair. It could be comfortable for two in a cozy way, and a hassock pulls out on the floor so you can put your feet up. Our favorite seating feature on the Infinity 270 RFL, though, was the pair of aft-facing lounge seats with armrests. Swing them up for easy entry and lower them for a secure, pleasant ride. There’s a wide walkway between them to access the swim platform. The arrangement is perfect for watching board riders. Add the included cocktail table, and the living room on the water becomes the dining room, with cup holders to keep drinks in easy reach.

Storage is typical for a pontoon, with plenty under all the seats, as well as the added advantage only a triple-tube version brings: a ski locker in the center tube accessible through the deck. For good looks and easy cleaning, the deck is made of vinyl sea-weave flooring, with faux wood surface on the boarding platform.

The look is all luxury, the performance all fun, and the style is head-turning.
