New fast-fill ballast pumps have the boat weighted down before you can get your gear on, so it’s a quick and easy transition from one sport to the next.

Known for its spacious bow paired with its roomy interior, the 23 MXZ holds up to 16 of your favorite wakesurfing and wakeboarding crew members.
Passengers in the pickle-fork bow can still enjoy all the amenities you love from the rest of the boat — cup holders, phone holders, fold-down armrests, customizable LED lighting, plush, hand-stitched seating.
The 23 MXZ's pickle-fork bow allows you to face forward or backward with plenty of space to stretch out. And, new for 2024 you can opt for the Natalie Seat™ which gives you both a wind break and a seat back, so the whole bow becomes a playpen with even more seating.
The transom of the 23 MXZ makes it super easy to get set up for riding thanks to the new transom seating.
Thanks to the Wake Plus™ Hull, the Malibu Wakesetter 23 MXZ cruises effortlessly in all water conditions and makes perfect wakes and waves.
No matter where you sit in the lounge of the 23 MXZ, there’s always a cupholder and phone holder within reach.
Stunning new contours give the 23 MXZ a standout appearance both on and off the water. Add in the new gelcoat and metal flake options and you can make it your own personal work of art.
On the 23 MXZ, you can walk on Soft Grip all the way from the lounge to the swim platform, which is really nice for keeping your vinyl clean. When you get there, you can step down to the Soft Grip on the platform and either get ready to ride or go for a swim.
The Wake Plus™ Hull on the 23 MXZ is built to generate epic wakes and waves straight from the factory & provide a smooth ride when running down the lake.
The captain is king in the 23 MXZ. The Malibu Command Center™ puts everything the captain needs in arms reach so your watersport of choice is just a button away.
The maximized interior space of the 23 MXZ is really appreciated in the bow where there is room for everyone to spread out.
And for even more options, upgrade to the new MaxPivot™ Seat to go from a bench seat to a bed to rear-facing seat with or without a table.
The 23 MXZ was designed to maximize interior space for your entire crew to enjoy as well as having storage space for all your crew's gear.
The helm of the new 23 MXZ is all about the Malibu Command Center, featuring two high-visibility touch screens to make your life easier in every way. The main screen has everything you need for watersports like rider presets, water depth, speed, and engine vitals so they’re all easy to access while driving.
When you’re ready to surf, wakeboard, or foil, the whole lounge can transform into a wake stadium with pop-up rear-facing seating. And for even more options, upgrade to the new MaxPivot™ Seat.
With Surf Gate®, the 23 MXZ allows you to make a perfect wave on either side of the boat and it switches fast, which means you can transfer from side to side and open up a whole new world of tricks.
The 23 MXZ wakesurfing wave has room for you and your friend to shred all summer long.
The Wake Plus™ Hull is built to generate epic wakes and waves straight from the factory so you don’t have to spend a lot of time messing around with the wake—it’s clean and symmetrical every time.
With Malibu's signature wake technology, you can crew waves that are mellow for skim style tricks or aggressive for surf style airs off of the lip.
When you’re ready to ride, the captain can select the preset for your surf side or level of riding, hit “load” and the boat does all the work for you.
No matter what your skill level is as a wakesurfer, the 23 MXZ will deliver your best pull.
With Malibu's signature wake technology, you can crew wakes that are perfect for beginner/intermediate wakeboarding or aggressive for advanced tricks.
The wave customization doesn't stop—create short, rampy waves to grab air while wakesurfing.
The new fast-fill ballast pumps have the 23 MXZ weighted down before you can get your gear on, so it’s a quick and easy transition from one sport to the next. Whether you’re surfing or wakeboarding, Power Wedge® III will lift and shape the wake to create exactly the face you’re looking for.
