Nautica beaut
The 270 Intrigue’s exterior generated endless looks from passer-by boaters. Over its last few model
years, Premier has earned a reputation as an innovator in the industry, pushing pontoon design past
traditional standards into the new-age look that today’s boaters demand. The company was one of the
first manufacturers to use curved evolution rails and set the bar for the design of curved top frames,
furniture and lighting. The Intrigue’s new radar arch with skylight, Bimini top, speakers, and LED
lighting adds to the already recognizable “Premier” look.
Working in conjunction with Bomberdier Recreational Products (BRP), Premier offers rail colors
that match the engine’s panels in a complete package. New for 2015, Premier and BRP offer an
exclusive chocolate color package. Our test boat was shown with black rails and platinum graphics,
but we had the opportunity to see the new chocolate package down on the docks, and it is remarkably
rich in color. Every component and detail — from the corner castings with integrated LED lighting
to the new sea grass flooring — is designed to make the Intrigue look more advanced than one would
expect from a traditional pontoon.

The power behind this pontoon is incredible. Not everyone will outfit the Intrigue with twin 300s,
but if the opportunity presents itself, it’s a ride you’ll never forget. Our 270 Intrigue included the
max horsepower recommended, and with one touch of the throttle, we quickly felt the power thrust
us back into our seats. Acceleration was instant, and top speeds from the twin Evinrude E-Tec
G2s was absolutely stunning. The ability to control the boat around the docks makes this Premier
exceptionally easy to maneuver. Pulling back into the slip, we didn’t touch the steering wheel at
low speeds. One tap of each throttle simply spins the boat port and starboard.
For ultimate control, Evinrude also offers an Optimus
360 steering system that pushes the boat left and right
with the bump of a joystick. It was an option on our
test boat and allows a novice boater the ability to easily
dock a boat of this size.
If you seek the gold standard in an oversized, luxurious
and performance pontoon boat, look no further than
Premier’s 270 Intrigue. This boat is made to handle
the big water of the Great Lakes with aplomb, and it’s
equally at home on smaller, inland lakes.
Premier spared no expense in constructing one of
the most notable pontoon boats plying today’s waters.
Let the thoughtful design and impressive power and
handling surprise and delight you. ★
