Every so often, a boat rolls into our showroom that stops everyone in their tracks. The 2026 Balise Halo 26C Twin is that boat. This isn’t just the newest addition to our Balise lineup — it’s the most powerful, most fully loaded luxury Tritoon we’ve ever had on the floor at Marine 360.
Twin Mercury Verado 400 V10s. Yes, Twin.
Let’s start with the number everyone asks about: 800 horsepower. The Halo 26C Twin pairs two Mercury Verado 400 V10 outboards on a triple-tube platform built to handle every bit of that power. This is performance territory most pontoon owners have never experienced — hole shots that pin you to the seat, effortless cruising with a full crew aboard, and the confidence to pull skiers, surfers, and tubes all day without breaking a sweat.
And with Mercury JPO Joystick Control, all that power becomes remarkably easy to manage. Docking a nearly 30-foot boat in a crowded marina used to take nerve. Now it takes a fingertip. Add the factory front and rearview cameras, and you have complete situational awareness every time you pull into your slip.
A Build That Looks as Serious as It Runs
This particular Halo 26C Twin came in with a spec sheet that reads like a wish list. The exterior is finished in black-on-black with custom fiberglass panels and black powder-coated pontoons — a stance that turns heads before the engines even fire. The custom Balise powered tower with integrated lights and bimini gives it a profile unlike anything else on the water.
Step aboard through the front gate — complete with a transparent Dockview window — and the interior shifts to a warm tan color palette over teak slate flooring. There’s a teak buffet table for entertaining, Balise weighted pillows, wireless phone chargers, and a helm with a pull-out cooler and dual flush-mounted 12-inch Simrad chartplotters.
Built for Nights on the Water, Too
When the sun drops on Lake Murray, this boat is just getting started. RGB lighting runs through the interior, under the deck, and underwater — fully customizable to whatever mood the evening calls for. And the custom Balise 4D stereo system with dedicated subs and amps means your music sounds as good at anchor as it does at speed. The Lillypad boarding ladder and full ratcheting mooring cover round out a boat that’s ready for everything from sandbar afternoons to sunset cruises.
