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 Malibu Gx™ Tower, pictured here, that raises and lowers at the turn of a dial or go with the all-new 2021 Malibu standard G5 Tower that stows gear and tows riders effortlessly while also folding lower for improved clearance.
SPACIOUS PICKLE-FORK BOW
This new pickle-fork model gives you extra roomy and deep bow seating that’s comfortable for several adults. Now your bow passengers can even enjoy phone storage with USB charging along with plenty of cupholders.
MALIBU STERN TURN
The optional Stern Turn allows the captain to activate rear thrusters from the throttle to turn the boat on a dime for easy water maneuvering and convenient docking capabilities.
THE MALIBU COMMANDING VIEW
From the helm seat, the driver will enjoy the luxury Command Center. With new touch screens that make it easier than ever to find one-touch surf or wake settings, and features like wireless charging your captain is sure to be happy.

CUSTOM MALIBU SOFT GRIP
Designed and crafted by Malibu, custom soft grip flooring coats the areas you’re in contact with the most like the rear swim deck and the swim pad walk through—not to mention other areas like the integrated trash can lid and storage areas. Why? Because we know how much more you’ll appreciate the comfort and safety it provides.
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.
WAKE VIEWING AND ENTERTAINING

END THE DILEMMA: BOTH A WALK-THROUGH AND FULL SUN PAD
The new 23 MXZ was designed for versatility. The aft sun pad was designed to accommodate either a walk through or add the filler cushion to lay out and sunbathe.
MALIBU MONSOON ENGINES
Designed to be the most reliable, quietest and cleanest engines on the water, choose between the Malibu Monsoon M5Di™ and Malibu Monsoon M6Di™ and Malibu Monsoon LT4 powered by GM Marine to power your 23 MXZ.
