Introducing the 2024 Premier Intrigue 230 RF
The 2024 Premier Intrigue 230 RF combines modern styling, smart engineering, and luxurious comfort in one exceptional 23-foot pontoon. Built by Premier Pontoons with the same precision and attention to detail that have defined the brand for decades, this model stands out with its spacious design and smooth performance on the water. Featuring a Suzuki DF250APX5 outboard engine delivering 250 horsepower, it has the perfect balance of acceleration, efficiency, and control to keep you confident no matter your activity—whether cruising, towing, or anchoring for a swim.
Power and Performance
At its core, the Intrigue 230 RF is designed for those who expect more than just a relaxing ride. With its DF250APX5 250 HP outboard, this pontoon is more than capable of powering watersports, from wakeboarding to tubing across Lake Norman’s shimmering surface. The engine’s advanced electronic fuel injection ensures consistent power delivery, while Suzuki’s precision gearcase technology minimizes vibration and maximizes efficiency. On days when the lake is calm, you’ll appreciate how easily the Intrigue gets on plane, glides through turns, and maintains a comfortable cruising speed without excessive fuel consumption.
Design and Comfort
Premier’s craftsmanship is instantly recognizable in the 230 RF’s layout. With a width of 102 inches, this pontoon offers remarkable stability and an abundance of room to move. The RF (rear-facing) seating configuration creates a conversation-friendly layout that’s great for entertaining. High-quality marine upholstery gives the seats both comfort and durability, while the helm station places all controls and displays within easy reach. Every detail—from cup holders and storage compartments to the quality of the stitching—shows Premier’s commitment to building boats that are both practical and refined.
Space for Everyone
Seating up to 17 passengers, the Intrigue 230 RF is engineered to bring large groups together. There’s space for lounging, dining, and laughing through the day while still maintaining open walkways for safety and mobility. The arrangement of furniture allows guests to choose between sun or shade as the boat moves across the lake. Whether anchored off a quiet cove or running down the main channel, everyone on board can enjoy personal space and comfort. Families especially love the easy boarding access and the open design that welcomes everyone aboard—from kids to grandparents.
Performance Hull and Handling
Premier’s multi-tube performance platform allows for superior maneuverability and lift. It’s a design that truly shines in variable conditions on Lake Norman, one of North Carolina’s most beloved recreational lakes. With 23 feet of balanced hull beneath you, the Intrigue 230 RF maintains its composure at cruising speed, resisting chop and banking cleanly through turns. The result is a confident, predictable ride that keeps both captain and passengers comfortable whether you’re exploring wide channels or narrow inlets.
Craftsmanship and Detailing
Premier has built its reputation on blending innovative engineering with timeless design. The 230 RF’s framework includes premium construction materials designed to withstand long-term exposure to the elements. Welded aluminum structures provide rigidity, while the deck materials resist weathering and soft spots. The helm is ergonomically designed with high-visibility gauges, responsive steering, and intuitive engine controls. LED lighting accents the interior for evening cruises, and sound system integration provides a soundtrack for every outing. Every inch of the Intrigue reflects purpose and style.

Living near Charlotte provides endless water options, and the Intrigue 230 RF makes the most of each one.

Comparison
2024 Premier Intrigue 230 RF vs. Bennington 23 LSB, Harris Solstice 230, and Barletta Corsa 23UC
The 2024 Premier Intrigue 230 RF, available now at SouthTown Watersports on Lake Norman, delivers luxury pontoon performance with precision engineering and top-tier craftsmanship. This 23-foot pontoon powered by a 250 HP outboard combines comfort, handling, and advanced technology in a way that competes directly with leading models such as the Bennington 23 LSB, Harris Solstice 230, and Barletta Corsa 23UC.
Performance and Handling
When comparing the Premier Intrigue 230 RF to its closest competitors, performance stands out as a key differentiator. Equipped with a 250 HP outboard engine, the Premier delivers effortless acceleration and a confident ride, ideal for both cruising and towing water sports. The Premier’s PTX performance package incorporates a unique center tube design that enhances cornering stability and reduces drag—features comparable to the Harris Solstice’s Sport Package and Bennington’s ESP Performance Deck. However, Premier’s tuning prioritizes both agility and ride comfort, providing a smoother feel in choppy water near Lake Norman’s busy summer weekends.
Build Quality and Materials
Premier has a reputation for premium materials and robust construction, and the Intrigue 230 RF exemplifies that approach. Marine-grade vinyl seating, stainless hardware, and powder-coated rails are standard. While the Barletta Corsa 23UC also uses high-quality materials, Premier’s fit and finish often display tighter tolerances and a sturdier deck structure. The composite flooring used by Premier resists moisture and flex better than traditional plywood decking found on some competitors.
Standard Features and Equipment
In terms of standard equipment, the 2024 Premier Intrigue 230 RF comes exceptionally well-appointed. Buyers receive a digital helm with multifunction display, premium audio system, integrated RGB lighting, and ergonomically designed rear-facing lounges—without needing to add multiple upgrade packages. Competitors like the Bennington 23 LSB or Harris Solstice 230 offer comparable amenities, but many features—such as high-end stereo options or upgraded lighting—require optional packages. For customers looking for a comprehensive feature list included upfront, Premier’s value is immediately visible.
Innovation and Technology
Premier continues to improve operator convenience through technology. The Intrigue 230 RF’s helm integrates a touchscreen interface compatible with GPS navigation and onboard diagnostics. The PTX technology enhances ride performance through improved lift and tracking, a hallmark not always matched by equivalent models. For comparison, Bennington’s ESP and Harris’s SLP packages are optional upgrades, while Premier includes its performance platform as part of the model’s design, representing a strong advantage for boaters seeking both comfort and responsiveness.
Warranty and Dealer Support
Premier backs the 2024 Intrigue 230 RF with a comprehensive warranty that covers structural, deck, and toons for years of confident ownership. SouthTown Watersports adds value by offering expert service and support locally on Lake Norman, ensuring quick turnaround for maintenance and seasonal preparation. While Bennington and Harris also provide strong factory warranties, local dealer support often defines the ownership experience, and SouthTown’s established reputation enhances Premier’s appeal.
Value Proposition and Buyer Benefits
Compared to the Bennington 23 LSB, Harris Solstice 230, and Barletta Corsa 23UC, the Premier Intrigue 230 RF presents an impressive price-to-feature ratio. Buyers receive premium upholstery, performance handling, and advanced technology without inflated upgrade costs. Its refined layout and PTX hull deliver stable performance for families, couples, and weekend entertainers alike. Additionally, the Premier’s solid build quality supports strong resale potential, an important factor for value-conscious buyers on Lake Norman and beyond.
In conclusion, the 2024 Premier Intrigue 230 RF offers a blend of thoughtful engineering, performance versatility, and feature-rich comfort that competes directly with top-tier pontoon models while providing exceptional overall value. For customers comparing pontoon brands and looking for a premium 23-foot option that excels in both function and style, Premier’s Intrigue 230 RF at SouthTown Watersports stands out as a smart and well-rounded choice.
