The 2026 Avalon Carbon Excalibur QLSW with its custom paint on carbon walls and tower creates an unmistakable silhouette. The windshield is as functional as it is beautiful, and knowing Avalon, we’re sure it’s sturdy and set at just the right height and angle.
The new floorplan with flip-flop aft benches allows guests to face the water or face each other in conversation. Views and sociabilty: The Avalon designers obviously spend weekends on the water.
The now-standard Lillipad Easy Step Ladder ensures easy boarding for your crew. The stainless-steel pull-up cleats with smoked chrome finish further encapsulate what sets the Excalibur apart. Functional? Absolutely. But also executed with an aesthetic sensibility that elevates the entire vessel.
Underneath all this luxury sits the Waveglider triple 27-inch-diameter pontoon system with high-performance lifting fins. We’ve been aboard Avalon pontoons that tackle wake-roiled waters. Heavy-duty side keels that aid in tracking and handling are standard. All of this translates to confidence at the wheel. Available with single or twin engines up to 500 hp total, you can choose an Excalibur that cruises in stately fashion or one that hits exhilarating speeds.
Tri-toon buyers should give weight to the fact that Avalon builds most of the boat and its components in-house, including pontoons, framing, furniture and more. Many pontoon companies simply assemble components made by others. Avalon’s vertical integration of manufacturing gives it superior quality control. Avalon pontoons are also certified by the National Marine Manufacturers Association.
If you are considering this boat, you may have been “stepping up” through various boats. Or perhaps you’re new to pontooning and want to start at the top. In either case, this new Avalon Carbon Excalibur QLSW represents the pinnacle of the pontoon-builder’s art. If that is your goal, schedule time to see this boat before you buy another.
