Premier’s industry exclusive 360-degree Revolution™ seating design takes top honors as the brand continues to gain incredible momentum and the spring boating season fast approaches.

Wyoming, Minn. January 27, 2022 – Premier Marine was honored by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and Boating Writers International (BWI) as the recipient of the 2022 Innovation Award for the company’s Revolution seating design. The announcement was made during a sneak preview of the Minneapolis Boat Show on January 19.

“Innovation is at our core when it comes to designing and manufacturing Premier pontoons,” said Premier Marine CEO Matt Homan. “For the teams’ efforts to be recognized by our peers and some of the industry’s toughest critics is really a testament to the talent of our designers, engineers and professional boat builders.”

Revolution seating is truly a one-of-a-kind seating configuration and is a Premier Marine industry exclusive. The patent-pending U-shaped booth offers full 360-degree rotation and locks in at 90-degree intervals. This allows you to enjoy time on the water from any angle – from forward-facing cruising, direct to the water access from the port side, or comfortable rear views. The high-comfort seating configuration also includes a built-in ladder for water access, lighted cup holders, integrated speakers, wireless charging, our patent-pending magnetic table so your insulated can holders are always within reach, and the ability to transform from a booth to a full lounge bed.

The NMMA Innovation Awards honors manufacturers and suppliers who bring new, innovative products in the boating industry to the market. The winners represent forward-thinking, groundbreaking new products. Premier was one of four winners selected from 14 products that were evaluated by a panel of industry experts.

The award was just another example of the tremendous momentum Premier Marine has captured leading into the spring boating season. With new leadership, a new vision, over 130 new hires, and a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility set to open in Big Lake, MN later this summer, the company is poised for more awards and even greater success.
