The New Standard of Luxury has Arrived: 2026 Premier 230 Intrigue RLO-CL Now at Bay Marine & Sports Center on Lake LBJ
For over 45 years, Bay Marine & Sports Center has been the heartbeat of the Highland Lakes boating community. Today, we are thrilled to introduce the next evolution of on-water sophistication: the completely redesigned 2026 Premier 230 Intrigue RLO-CL.
If you’ve been searching for a "best-in-class" luxury pontoon boat on Lake LBJ, this isn’t just a new model—it’s a total reimagining of what a performance tritoon can be. From the supercharged PTX chassis to the automotive-grade digital helm, the 2026 Intrigue is engineered for those who demand both adrenaline and elegance.
Why the Premier 230 Intrigue is the Perfect Boat for Lake LBJ
Lake LBJ is famous for its constant-level status, providing the best year-round boating in Texas. However, the main channels from Horseshoe Bay to Kingsland can get choppy. That’s where Premier’s engineering shines.
1. The Supercharged PTX Performance Chassis
The 230 Intrigue is built on the industry-benchmark PTX tritoon chassis. For 2026, this system has been "supercharged" to deliver:
Top-End Speed: Up to 15% faster than previous designs.
Fuel Efficiency: A 17% improvement, so you can cruise from the Llano River arm to the dam without a second thought.
Precision Handling: A 5% tighter turning radius, allowing you to "carve" through turns like a high-performance runabout.
Rough Water Dominance: With rough water nose cones and a flat-surface center tube, the Intrigue cuts through wakes while keeping every passenger dry and comfortable.
2. Ascend Helm & HelmVision™ UX: The Digital Command Center
Step up to the Ascend Helm, which features a 6-inch raised platform for unmatched visibility over the bow. The centerpiece is the massive 15-inch SIMRAD® Ultrawide touchscreen running Premier's proprietary HelmVision UX.
Unified Control: Manage your Mercury engine telemetry, GPS navigation, and RGB lighting via the C-Zone® integrated control system.
Digital Switching: Tactile buttons on the Compass steering wheel let you control audio and navigation without taking your eyes off the water.
Sophistication Meets Innovation: Standard Features for 2026
The 2026 Intrigue doesn't just look modern; it feels different. Premier has moved toward "Modern Luxury," replacing utilitarian rails with sculpted fiberglass bow panels and cohesive styling.
Cool-Touch Technology: Texas summers are no joke. The Ultrafabrics® furniture on the 230 Intrigue features "Cool-Touch" technology that stays up to 26 degrees cooler than traditional marine vinyl.
RLO (Rear Lounge with Open Water Panels): This layout features patent-pending open water panels that provide unimpeded, direct access to the lake—perfect for swimming or fishing in your favorite cove.
Ricochet® Self-Retracting Ladder: Safety is automated. The ladder automatically retracts as you move forward, preventing damage and ensuring the boat is always "ready to run".
Wet Sounds® Audio: Experience crystal-clear, high-output sound with a digitally tuned 8-speaker REVO system and 10-inch subwoofer.
