Balise HELIX 24C 2025

Description & overview

The Helix 24C is the 24-foot member of the luxury pontoon lineup from Balise, engineered to combine premium design, high-end amenities and strong performance. It’s intended as a refined party-pontoon or entertainer’s boat, not just a basic family cruiser. For example:

It is listed with a length overall of ~24 ft (≈7.32 m) and a beam of about 8 ft 6 in (≈2.59 m).

One listing shows a fuel tank capacity of 54 gallons.

It is frequently powered by a single outboard engine, in one case a Mercury V10 rated at 350 hp.

It has a seating capacity listed for up to 12 passengers.

Key design & feature highlights

Here are the standout design and amenity features that give this model its luxury appeal:

Custom fiberglass exterior panels and powder-coated pontoon tubes (or similar high-end exterior finishes) to give it a refined look rather than a basic aluminium pontoon.

Interior features such as electric loungers (with multiple positions), premium stereo/audio systems, ambient lighting (RGB style), dual large touchscreen displays for helm/navigation. Example: one listing mentions dual 12' Simrad screens, “4D” sound system, underwater RGB lighting.

A “C” layout (Cruise Layout) as described by Balise: typically means a layout with dual-facing benches, good circulation, refined helm area, and special gate features (e.g., transparent front gate) for aesthetics & functionality.

Premium comfort and convenience touches: e.g., wireless phone chargers, moveable cup holders, integrated pet drawer, storage drawers, ambient lighting, quality upholstery (cool-climate fabrics) etc.

Exterior luxury touches: docking lights, underwater lighting options, sleek design trims, gel-coat color options, tower with integrated bimini, etc.

Performance & utility

With the 400 hp Mercury V10 option, the boat is built to deliver more brisk performance than many ordinary pontoon boats, allowing for more exciting acceleration and higher cruising speeds.


The 54-gallon fuel capacity offers decent range for leisure cruises depending on engine load and speed.

The layout and build aim to provide smooth ride and luxury feel, thanks to design elements like Balise’s “GRID” chassis (on other sizes) and reinforced structure that reduce vibration and noise.

Ideal use & audience

This boat is best suited for someone who:

Wants more than a “basic” pontoon — wants luxury finishes, amenities and a strong visual impression.

Entertains on the water: friends, family, maybe small events, grilling, relaxing, sunning. The features like loungers, ambient lighting, high-end audio support this.

Wants better performance or wants to cruise with more power available (rather than just slow leisurely pace).

Appreciates design, comfort, and premium touches in their boating lifestyle.

Considerations / what to check

Because it’s in the luxury category, cost of ownership (maintenance, fuel, mooring/slip cost, insurance) will be higher than minimal pontoon models.

Confirm exact engine and options: The 350 hp Mercury V10 may be an option, not standard. Check what’s included on the specific hull you’re reviewing.

Layout “C” (Cruise) may have certain seating/flow trade-offs compared to “L” (Lounge) or other layouts — check which configuration suits your usage best. (Bow sunning, facing benches, etc)

Verify the build/finish, warranty, dealer support (especially in Florida, since Balise is Michigan based) and that all the amenity systems (e.g., audio, lighting, etc) function as intended.

Hydrodynamics & performance in your local waters: Since you’re in Cape Coral, Florida, you’ll want to test in conditions similar to your cruising area (shoreline, estuary, Gulf conditions) to see ride comfort, wind-exposure handling, etc.
