2026 Malibu Wakesetter 23 MXZ

The 2026 Malibu Wakesetter 23 MXZ is a 23-foot wakeboat built for riders and their crews. Its pickle-fork bow provides generous seating for up to 16 people, while the cockpit features an ultra-plush lounge with flexible, ergonomic seating arrangements. The boat is engineered around Malibu's integrated surf and wake systems—including a performance hull, hard tank ballast, Power Wedge III, and Surf Gate technology—that let you dial in the perfect conditions from smooth and playful to bold and powerful.

The helm centers on the Malibu Command Center, an ergonomic operating system with an ultra-wide, low-profile screen offering rider and driver profiles, watersports presets, and streamlined controls. Engine options include the Malibu Monsoon M5Di, M6Di, or the Malibu Monsoon LT4 Supercharged engine powered by GM Marine, each delivering the power needed for serious watersports or leisurely cruising.

Available upgrades enhance both comfort and functionality. The Ascend Pro Tower raises and lowers by dial and includes overhead lighting, or you can choose the standard Ascend Tower for storage and easy towing. The MaxPivot Seat transforms the rear into a bed or rear-facing bench, while the Natalie Seat expands bow capacity. Wireless charging keeps devices powered, and Stern Turn enables precise maneuvering from the throttle. A fully-tuned Wet Sounds audio system provides stereo throughout, with upgrade options to Rev 12 speakers.

The boat features Malibu's custom soft-grip flooring, made in-house for durability and comfort. Watersports control is available through the Command Center touchscreen or the exclusive Surf Band wrist remote, allowing adjustment of wave, wake, and ballast settings from the water.
