Premier 290 Grand Entertainer: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Premier Pontoons 290 Grand Entertainer is designed as a serious entertainment platform that combines luxury, performance, and functionality. At nearly 30 feet in length, this pontoon boat offers a spacious and well-appointed environment ideal for social gatherings and recreational boating. Its design emphasizes comfort, entertainment features, and impressive on-water capabilities.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

The 290 Grand Entertainer features thickly padded Flexsteel brand couches arranged around the bow perimeter, including an optional removable center seat. The seating incorporates different foam densities to enhance cushioning, and beneath the seats are multiple speakers with a subwoofer positioned at the rear for superior audio performance. A pedestal table swivels over the seating area, providing a convenient spot for snacks or cocktails. Storage compartments are integrated under all seats, with a centrally located vented hatch storage area extending toward the stern, though additional access points could improve usability. The deck is covered in grass cloth with thick padding underneath, contributing to comfort underfoot. A dedicated changing room is located under the port lounge seat, optionally equipped with a pump-out head. The bar area stands out as a major feature, with four swiveling bar stools mounted on telescoping pedestals and a tubular footrest encircling the bar. Flip-out purse holders and an overhead awning that doubles as stemware storage enhance convenience. The bar includes a refrigerator, stainless steel drawers with bottle holders, a covered sink with drying rack, cutting board, ice bucket, paper towel rack, and ample workspace. The two-tone solid surface counter has recessed, lighted drink holders, allowing guests to enjoy beverages even while underway. Courtesy lights, water pump, sink controls, and a Polk high-end Bluetooth audio system control head are conveniently located at the bar. Access to the water is facilitated by stairs leading down to the surface with a flip-down ladder, providing a comfortable re-boarding spot and a place to relax with feet in the water near the bar. Nighttime ambiance is enhanced by courtesy and accent lighting around seats, speaker grills, and the bar.

Helm and Operational Features

The helm is situated on a raised platform to provide the captain with clear sightlines over the forward seating area. The Flexsteel helm seat is thickly padded and offers swivel, glide, and recline functions for comfort. The helm panel includes multifunction gauges flanking a beacon touchscreen display that controls all boat systems intuitively. A wood-trimmed, three-spoke steering wheel mounted on a tilt base complements the wood accents on the panel. A recessed fire extinguisher holder is located just behind the helm seat. Opposite the helm is a matching seat designed for a companion. Additional features include a bulkhead-mounted module with drink holders and cargo rack netting, all illuminated by courtesy lighting. The bimini top provides shade and incorporates netting at its base to allow moisture drainage. Exterior operational details include chromed corner fender guards with spring-loaded flip-up cleats and grab handles, knob lights, docking lights embedded in the forward edge, and a grass cloth-covered foredeck. Battery switches are conveniently located behind the bar.

Power and Performance

Powered by twin Yamaha F300 XCA engines equipped with 15 1/4 by 18 Saltwater Series II SDS propellers, the 290 Grand Entertainer delivers impressive performance for a pontoon boat. The vessel measures 29 feet 5 inches in length overall with an 8 feet 6 inches beam and an empty weight of 4,500 pounds. With fuel, two people, and test equipment aboard, the estimated test weight was 6,482 pounds. The boat achieved a top speed of 52.6 mph at 6,000 rpm, consuming 51 gallons per hour and providing an estimated range of 80 miles at that speed. Cruising comfortably at 3,000 rpm and 25.4 mph, fuel consumption drops to 12 gallons per hour, extending the range to 164 miles with an endurance of six and a half hours while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration is notably rapid, with a time to plane of just 2.1 seconds, reaching 20 mph in 2.6 seconds, 30 mph in 4.2 seconds, 40 mph in 6.3 seconds, and 50 mph in only 10.3 seconds. The boat exhibits a minimal 3-degree bow rise during acceleration and maintains that angle during cruising. Handling is agile, with only 4.5 degrees of roll into turns. Spray is directed from the mid-point of the tubes near the helm area, and in high-performance turns, the bow lowers slightly to carve through turns more aggressively. Steering is effortless and precise, allowing the captain to maintain control comfortably even at high speeds. The boat remains stable underway, enabling guests to enjoy the bar area without disruption, and it settles evenly when power is reduced.

Conclusion

The Premier Pontoons 290 Grand Entertainer redefines the pontoon boat category by blending luxury, entertainment, and high-performance capabilities into a single, elegant package. It offers a spacious and comfortable environment with thoughtfully designed amenities that cater to socializing and relaxation. Its powerful twin-engine setup delivers exhilarating acceleration and top-end speed uncommon in pontoon boats, while maintaining stability and ease of handling. The 290 Grand Entertainer successfully blurs the line between traditional pontoon comfort and performance boating, making it an attractive option for those seeking both style and substance on the water.
