Demand for pontoon boats that do much more than serve as floating islands inspired Aluma-Weld Inc. of Hot Springs to expand its production beyond the complete line of fishing boats that had been its bread and butter for more than 40 years. But using its fishing boat brand name, Xpress, for a completely different type of boat with completely different customers didn't sit well with the approximately 80 Xpress dealers nationwide.

So last year, Aluma-Weld introduced an entirely new brand: Veranda Marine. Veranda has seven different series and 23 different models, with retail prices ranging from $20,000 to $50,000

Step into a Veranda and step up to the best!  Each Veranda boasts exceptional style, comfort and performance.  With 7 distinct series to select from, each with its own layout, Veranda is custom fit for your active lifestyle on the water.  Veranda's patented interlocking aluminum flooring system, with integrated wave shield, guarantees a solid foundation while delivering a smooth, quiet and fuel efficient ride every time.  Experience the difference and you’ll agree, once you step into a Veranda you step up to the best!
