The Pontoon is a Special Agent that was released on May 17, 2012 on Bloons TD 5, and also appears in Bloons TD 6. It allows all land towers to be placed on water and costs 40.

Trivia

Pontoon — You can't sell the pontoon until you sell the towers on top of it first.

In Mobile, a Banana Farm can not fit on a pontoon, due to its large footprint.
- In Flash, it actually can, even with full quality.
This is one of the cheapest Special Agents (the others being Portable Lake and Monkey Farmer) costing 40.
This is one of the few Special Agents that never attacks.
The Pontoon is not sacrificed by the Temple of the Monkey God. It will also collapse and destroy itself if a TotMG is built on to of it, also collapsing the Temple as well.
Some say that the Portable Lake is better because the Portable Lake is helpful on many tracks while the Pontoon is helpful on three tracks (Archipelago, Dockside, and Ice Flow, as well as Challenger Deep and Benguela in Mobile) but others would debate that Portable Lakes are only for the use of Monkey Buccaneers and/or Monkey Sub, making them virtually useless.

It is possible to place a Pontoon on a Portable Lake but this is worthless and wastes 80.
- When placing a Pontoon Pro on a Portable Lake or Portable Lake Pro though, it becomes pretty useful.
The art of the Pontoon has an inflatable tube underneath the Pontoon (probably because the Pontoon doesn't have enough buoyancy on its own to carry towers).
Strangely, the Pontoon has a pop count, despite the fact that it cannot attack.
