THE MOST COVETED, BEST-SELLING SKI BOAT IN THE WORLD

For 65 years, the Ski Nautique has remained at the forefront of innovation in the world of three-event waterskiing, pulling the industry forward with an attractive synergy of unrivalled performance and classic elegance. With more personal bests and world records than any other water ski boat in history, this timeless model indisputably stands as the most coveted and best-selling ski boat in the world.

Completely redesigned from bow to stern and significantly lighter than the previous generation, the all-new 2026 Ski Nautique holds true to the design philosophy of “form follows function.” Every detail has been purposefully engineered to seamlessly integrate ease of user experience with unprecedented performance capabilities. All this – to create an iconic legacy that continues to set the standard.

HULL DESIGN

Significantly lighter than the previous generation, the completely redesigned Ski Nautique has integrated a proprietary method of combining carbon fiber and fiberglass in conjunction with an all-new integrated stringer system that is infused into the hull to give you the perfect balance of strength and weight. In tandem with the patented MicroTuner® and redesigned HydroGate® technology, this new hull design creates more lift and minimizes displacement for naturally flatter wakes with more support in the trough areas, resulting in gains across the entire range from higher speeds and shorter rope lengths to slower speeds and longer line lengths.

AUTOMATED HYDROGATE^®

Redesigned for 2026, the patented Automated HydroGate fine-tunes the running surface of the Ski Nautique automatically, giving you the perfect pull for all three-event disciplines. In the down position, the redesigned HydroGate has a wider tunnel with less vertical deployment, creating lift, minimizing displacement and redirecting water while minimizing the size and density of the rooster tail area for a more evenly filled, softer experience. When in the up position, it allows more displacement, resulting in bigger wakes as needed for trick skiing. With 10 positions from stowed to completely deployed, you can customize your wakes to meet your personal preferences.

Ski Nautique Microtuners^®

Microtuners^®

Working hand in hand with our redesigned HydroGate and all-new hull design are our patented MicroTuners. These MicroTuners automatically deploy into the water at the transom of the hull and disrupt how water flows behind the boat, causing water to fill in the troughs of the wake. This allows skiers to keep their edge engaged while directly behind the boat, so they are able to load the line and generate speed to have more time at the next buoy.

INTEGRATED ZERO OFF^®

Easily engage our GPS-based Zero Off speed control for three-event waterskiing right from the Nautique LINC Panoray Touchscreen to pull skiers at consistent speeds through every pass in the course.

Through extensive propeller testing and refined engine and Zero Off calibrations, we’ve fine-tuned the feel at the end of the line, optimizing performance and efficiency across the board for all three disciplines. This gives skiers more adjustability in the pull as they move from letter to letter and number to number, provides maximum power for jump acceleration, and keeps RPMs consistent across different conditions.

TRICK BALLAST

Trick your personal best behind the Ski Nautique with the optional trick ballast. This additional 400 pounds of ballast creates the unrivaled Ski Nautique trick wakes that have set the stage for numerous trick world records.
