Features May Include:

Board Rack Options

• Choose from four board rack options that match your crew's needs and add up to four racks total to your tower.

Malibu Ascend Pro Tower™

• Upgrade to the Ascend Pro Tower that raises and lowers at the turn of a dial and includes overhead lighting to illuminate the lounge. Or, opt for Malibu's standard Ascend Tower that effortlessly stows gear, tows riders, and easily folds low.

Wake Plus™ Hull

• 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.

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. Upgrade to the all-new Rev 12 speakers, and choose up to four tower speakers in white or black.

Malibu Command Center™

• Featuring an all-new ergonomic helm design and operating system, the Malibu Command Center features an ultra-wide, low-profile screen complete with rider and driver profiles, watersports presets, and simplified functionality for a captain's experience like no other

Transom & Walkthrough

• The transom features a walkthrough design so your crew doesn't have to step on any vinyl when stepping in and out of the boat. Plus, the transom seats have been redesigned to feature a laid-back lounger feel that's comfortable when you're relaxing with family in the cove.

Interior Lounge Features

• The 23 LSV lounge seating features hand-stitched vinyl that wraps around the cockpit. Cup and phone holders are always within arm’s reach—which is super important when you have a seating capacity of 15. And just as important, you can opt for wireless charging in the lounge so you and your crew can stay connected all day long.

Traditional Bow

• The 23 LSV's traditional bow cuts through surf waves on turnarounds and helps keep spray out of the boat on choppy, windy days. The bow features plush, hand-stitched upholstery, plenty of cup and phone holders, and recessed speakers and grab handles

Natalie Seat™

• The Natalie Seat upgrade provides a combination wind dam and seat back that greatly increases the functional seating capacity of the bow. Arm rests in the bow provide added comfort for all passengers.

Soft Grip Flooring

• You can step on the gunwales and move around with confidence thanks to the assured footing Soft Grip provides. 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. Plus, clean-up is a breeze.

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, upgrade to the Powered Swim Step, which deploys in and out of the water with push-button convenience from the stern.

All-New PTM Bimini
