THE HELIOS DIFFERENCE
Storage Solutions
An option on most Tri-Toons, but standard on the Helios GT-R, the Center Tube Storage opens longitudinally allowing you the easiest possible access for retrieving fenders, fishing gear and whatever else you want to store. It’s even equipped with a bilge pump to keep rainwater from accumulating.
< Seat Back Storage
The perfect place for towel bags, purses, backpacks, etc., because you don’t have to ask your guest to move to retrieve the bag stored underneath.
< Underseat Storage
Under every perimeter seat is a generous guttered storage area. Perfect for storing everything your guests bring on board.
< Drop Hinge Under Seat Storage
When your hands are full, the last thing you need is using both hands to lift up a seat cushion to access the storage beneath. The Helios Drop Hinge easily and completely removes the seat cushion away from the seat base allowing you maximum access to the dry storage below.
LilliPad Ladder for People and Dogs
Standard on every GT-R is a LilliPad Revo Ladder. It makes reboarding the boat so easy, even your Dog can use it! Your furry family members will love being able to enjoy the day with you, and you’ll love the ease and surefootedness of the LiliPad Revo.
Helios Audio
Most pontoon builders don’t have a deep understanding of marine audio systems. Helios is the exception and worked closely with VOKOL Acoustics to tune each speaker to deliver exceptional clarity and sound. Helios Advanced Audio System adds VOKOL Acoustics DSP that remasters compressed music into full range audio for a listening experience rivaling home studios. Words can’t communicate what your ears will hear once you can experience it for yourself.
Helios is the exception and worked closely with VOKOL Acoustics to tune each Boston Acoustics speaker to deliver exceptional clarity and sound.
Intuitive Features
Touchscreen
Technology
IN EVERY BOAT
Touchscreens are CAN based so they can control almost every function from a single screen. And since the touchscreen is also a computer, every Helios fishing boat can automate actions that normally rely on the operator’s skill and experience. The best example of this is the patent-pending Hole Shot Mode that manages engine trim through the acceleration process to cut seconds off your time to speed without the driver having to balance throttle position while also managing engine trim and steering to achieve top speed. Hole Shot Mode will put you ahead of the pack in tournament blast offs, and it will launch you faster than you can launch yourself
Command Center
EVERYTHING YOU NEED WITHIN ARMS REACH
The raised helm provides a commanding view of everything around you and places everything you need to operate the boat within arm’s reach. Power Steering, Electronic Throttle, and a Digital Signal Processing Audio System that sounds better than your home. Don’t forget the cupholders…A Helios Captain deserves three! It’s all there for the Captain who makes it happen.
Inductive Phone
Chargers
Ever notice how your cell phones chews up battery faster on the water? It’s a thing because the phone is constantly searching for a signal where there are no roads. Not to worry with Helios Inductive Phone Chargers. Just rest your phone on top and your battery stays strong all day long.
Precision Throttle
Control
Every Helios comes with Mercury Digital Throttle and Shift controls that ensure smooth performance and automatic trim settings located directly on the DTS control.
Roll In Cooler
Storage
Got a big Yeti Cooler? Fill it up, Roll it on and store it under the Helm with Helios Oversize Cooler Storage.
Adjustable
Captains Helm Seat
Humans come in all sizes. So Helios equips every pontoon with a captain’s seat slider that also swivels toward the cockpit when its time for chilling with the crew.
Power Bimini with
Overhead Lighting
Push Button Bimini deployment and retraction could not be easier, and the addition of an overhead light delivers nighttime cockpit illumination for those after dark arrivals.
Cockpit Floor
Lighting
Ever leave your phone in the boat after covering it up for the night? We have, so we included cockpit floor lighting that can be activated from the side door, allowing you illuminated access for retrieving whatever you left behind without removing the mooring cover.
Cupholders
Galore
Helios provides every passenger with two cupholders and the captain with three! Why so many? Because cupholders hold so much more that cups; phones, earrings, watches, and whatever else you can think of.
Dedicated Trash
Receptacle
Cans, Wrappers, Paper Towels, you name it, all need a place to go after they have been used, especially on a boat. Helios cleverly equips a trash can behind the trash door for easy disposal.
Security-Forward
The old saying “Ignorance Is Bliss” doesn’t really apply to world we live in today. Fortunately, technology can now link us humans to the expensive assets we own, even if we are hundreds of mile away from them. Helios provides our owners with a free Radian Telematics Device along with a two-year prepaid data plan so you can keep tabs on your boat.
Radian Telematics
Knowing that your pontoon is securely located where you left it, should not be optional. Radian Telematics allows you to set security geofences around ALL the place you keep your boat, so you will receive a notification whenever it leaves a geofence you set for it. Breadcrumb tracking separates mileage over land from mileage over water, while a host of other information, from current battery voltage to your boats ambient temperature can be seen at any time on your mobile device. Once you use it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
