An extendable pontoon system is provided. The extendable pontoon system may include a center pontoon, two side pontoons, an adjustable frame and a plurality of actuator arms. The adjustable frame may include a plurality of fixed frame elements and a plurality of slidable elements. The plurality of fixed frame elements may be supported in a traverse relationship to and along the length of the center pontoon. Each elongated slidable element may have a received end and a hinged end. Each fixed frame element may be tubular having two opposing ends, wherein each opposing end may be adapted to slidably receive one received end. The plurality of hinged ends may be pivotably connected to either one of the two side pontoons. Each actuator arm has a fixed end and an extendable end, wherein the plurality of fixed ends are connected to one fixed frame element, and wherein the plurality of extendable ends are connected to the two side pontoons so that the two side pontoons are extendable relative to the center pontoon by shifting the two side pontoons between a contracted position to an expanded position.
