THE ULTRELOUNGE WINS INNOVATION OF THE YEAR
The UltreLounge, featured in the Ultre ZX, stands out as Innovation of the Year. Packed with next-gen features such as the FastFlip Co-Captain's Chair, Co-Command Screen, and the UltreChill Electric Cooler, it's easy to see why this award was earned. Voters chose the UltreLounge as their favorite product among numerous innovations introduced to the market in the last 12 months.

The UltreLounge exemplifies Tige's commitment to luxury and innovation with three standout features designed for comfort and convenience: the FastFlip Co-Captain's Chair, Co-Command Screen, and UltreChill Electric Cooler. Tige has redefined traditional wake boat seating with the FastFlip Co-Captain's Chair, transforming your observer into a co-captain with a simple slide of the convertible seat. This versatile chair, accommodating up to two passengers, reveals cavernous storage beneath and includes a bolster for added comfort when facing forward. Take control with the Co-Command screen from this seat, where you can effortlessly change music, adjust the volume, manage the boat's RGB lighting, and control heaters and heated seating for a personalized experience. Rounding out the UltreLounge is the UltréChill Electric Cooler, which keeps beverages and snacks fresh all day without the need for ice.
