Crest Marine, a leader in the recreational motor boat industry and a subsidiary of MasterCraft Boat Holdings, has announced the expansion of its product portfolio with the launch of a new independent luxury pontoon boat brand, Balise. Balise was born out of a unique mission to be the most luxurious and innovative pontoon boat on the market. Its appearance, like the Beidou in the stars, leads the trend of the pontoon boat industry.
The Balise brand was born from a team that pursues beauty and requires the ultimate in quality. In developing this brand, they first considered timeless artistry, refined entertainment, radical innovation, and uncompromising quality. These principles are the rocks that underpin the growth of the Balise brand and make its vision a reality.
George Steinbarger, President of Crest Marine, said: "The launch of the Balise brand is the culmination of nearly three years of meticulous consumer research, design and engineering. Not only does it redefine the way consumers experience luxury and sophisticated entertainment on the water, but it also demonstrates our deep understanding and unique insights into the pontoon boat industry. ”
"This dedicated team of Crest Marine and MasterCraft has developed the new Balise brand based on more than 120 years of experience in quality shipbuilding, a unique design philosophy and a spirit of innovation. Their sole goal is to offer unprecedented standards of elegance, performance and quality in the field of pontoon boats, so that every owner can enjoy a unique luxury experience. ”

Helix
The Balise brand is launching two distinctive models – the Horizon and the Helix. Each one is the result of the designer's efforts and ingenuity to bring you an unparalleled experience on the water. Both boats are available in 24-foot and 26-foot lengths, and can be flexibly configured as either cruising ("C") or lounge ("L") depending on your needs.

Whether it's Helix or Horizon, it's like a work of art made for a water park. They offer unparalleled comfort and convenience with luxurious interiors, wireless phone chargers, and dazzling RGB interior lights. For even greater comfort and convenience, both models are thoughtfully equipped with a number of advanced upgrade options, including dual 12-inch screens on the helm station, dual windshields, underwater lighting, diving boards and a user-friendly water ladder.

Notably, Balise has pioneered an underwater cooler that automatically lowers the reefer below the surface when you're at anchor, taking your water entertainment experience to the next level. At the same time, Balise also brings you and your guests an unprecedented in-water audio experience with its unique 4D sound system, so you can enjoy all-round, clear sound while you relax.
To meet the exceptional performance standards that consumers have come to expect at this level, Balise has partnered with Mercury Marine to become its exclusive outboard engine supplier. Both the Helix and Horizon models are equipped with the base Mercury 5.7L V10 350 Verado engine, while you also have the option to upgrade to the more powerful Mercury 5.7L V10 400hp Verado or Mercury Racing 4.8L V8 supercharged 500R outboard.
Rick Skinner, Director of Sales and Marketing, said: "Sailing is a great way to share moments with family and friends and create lasting memories. I've been in the yachting industry for more than 40 years, but I've never seen a brand with such care and attention to detail as Balise. Every design element, every function, every innovation tells a story about elevating the consumer yachting experience. ”
"Each ship is the crystallization of the designer's painstaking efforts, carrying the ingenuity and ingenuity of ingenuity. From the smooth lines of the hull to the delicate polishing of the details, each model exudes a distinctive charm that seems to tell its own story. "
"Whether you're looking for the ultimate in performance and want to swim in rough seas, appreciate craftsmanship and appreciate every detail that has been meticulously crafted, or you want unparalleled comfort and feel at home on the water – the Horizon and Helix models have it all. ”
