In other words, if you’re looking for maximized space & performance, the 23 MXZ is the only place you should be — let’s get on the water.
WAKESETTER 23 MXZ
Go ahead, check out the options.
WAKE PLUS™ HULL
This hull was designed specifically for wake surfing and wakeboarding applications. It allows the boat to sit deeper in the water at slower speeds creating more water displacement for bigger wakes and surf waves at water sports speeds.
TOWER OPTIONS
Opt for the brand new Malibu G10+™ Tower (pictured here) that raises and lowers at the turn of a dial and includes overhead lighting to illuminate the lounge. Or, select the Malibu standard G5™ Tower that effortlessly stows gear, tows riders, and easily folds low.
SPACIOUS PICKLE-FORK BOW
This hull was designed specifically for wakesurfing and wakeboarding applications. It allows the boat to sit deeper in the water at slower speeds, creating more water displacement for perfect wakes and surf waves at speed.
Malibu Command Center™
From the helm seat, the driver will enjoy the next-level Malibu Command Center. With two high-visibility touch screens that make it easier than ever to find one-touch surf or wake settings as well as features like wireless charging, your captain is sure to be happy.
Wireless Charging
Opt for wireless charging in the lounge of the 23 MXZ so you and your crew can stay connected all day long.
Malibu Stern Turn™
The available Stern Turn allows the captain to activate a rear thruster from the throttle to turn the boat on a dime for easy water maneuvering and effortless docking capabilities.
Natalie Seat™
The Natalie Seat upgrade provides a combination wind dam and seat back that greatly increases the functional seating capacity of the bow.
Wet Sounds Audio
Only the best for the best. Set the mood on the water with a fully-tuned Wet Sounds stereo system with crisp highs and perfect bass. Choose up to 4 tower speakers in white or black.
MaxPivot Seat™
Customize your interior with the MaxPivot Seat™ to create a bed at the back, or a rear-facing bench seat with or without the table flipped up.
Custom Malibu Soft Grip
Made from the highest-quality materials for the absolute best on-water performance, Malibu produces our Soft Grip flooring in-house for ultimate durability and comfort on the water.
Malibu Monsoon Engines
The heart of your new Malibu is its state-of-the-art power plant. Choose between the Malibu Monsoon M5Di® and the Malibu Monsoon M6Di® to power your 23 MXZ.
Flip Down Swim Step™
Our patented Flip Down Swim Step makes both lounging on the back of the boat and re-entry easy and enjoyable. For even more luxury and ease of use, 23 MXZ buyers can opt for the Powered Swim Step, which deploys in and out of the water with push-button convenience from the stern.
