Sit on the part of the boat that is in the sunlight and hope for a

An upside down pontoon boat is still a pontoon boat with the deck
about a foot underwater. I would take my ditch boxes and tie them
between the pontoons to sit on and wait for rescue. If it is not
particularly cold I am good until my water runs out and I usually
carry around a case of half liter bottles.
It is mostly to save foolish kayakers who forget how fast that little
bottle they brought will go away in the Florida sun.

I'm going to remember the water part. Though I've never run out of
drink, I've never been stranded either.
Hey, part of your accessories should be a "transom bar" that could be
attached to readied fittings foward on the pontoons.
A waterproofed kicker as part of your "ditch kit" could be clamped on
it and you just slowly motor back home after a capsize.
Upside down and backwards!
That's pontoon versatility.
