2026 Malibu Wakesetter 21 LX

The 2026 Malibu Wakesetter 21 LX is a compact wakeboat built for families seeking serious watersports performance in a trailerable package. At 21 feet 5 inches long with an 8.5-foot beam, it balances maneuverability for launching and storage with genuine wake-sport capability. Power comes from a Malibu Monsoon M5Di engine producing 360 horsepower, paired with 3,425 pounds of ballast capacity and a 55-gallon fuel tank for extended days on the water. The boat weighs approximately 4,900 pounds dry.

The layout prioritizes space efficiency, seating up to 13 people across a smart, family-friendly arrangement. A hybrid bow design combines traditional sharpness with added forward seating, while the new Ascend Tower is foldable and includes board racks. The windshield is sport-inspired and short-wing for cleaner sightlines. A pop-up ski pylon folds into the transom for easy stowage, and boarding is simplified by a built-in transom step and rear-facing seats positioned for boarding convenience.

Standard equipment includes a Dry Ride Thru-Hull Ballast system that drains via thru-hull to keep the deck dry, plus Power Wedge III and Surf Gate with wrist-remote control for customizable wave shaping. The modern Command Center features a touchscreen interface, rider and driver profiles, and wireless phone charging integrated into the console. Soft-Grip flooring provides durability and traction throughout. A Wet Sounds stereo system is available for audio.
