23 LSV: Best-Selling Wake & Surf Boat

Truth On The Water™

The legendary 23 LSV is the best-selling towboat of all time because of its size, customization options, and agility — and that's no different for 2025. Loaded with Malibu's industry-leading watersports innovations, the 23 LSV has ideal ballast placement straight from the factory — and it's one of the reasons it has been voted wakesurf & wakeboard boat of the year five years in a row. For those looking for outstanding ski performance in addition to their wakes & waves, the 23 LSV is available for order with the Malibu Diamond Hull™.

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.

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. Featured here, the Triton II Board Racks feature Roswell's R-Flex suspension technology to deliver improved ergonomics and versatility at every angle.

Tower Options

Malibu's standard G5 Tower™ effortlessly stows gear, tows riders, and easily folds low (featured). Or, upgrade to the all-new Malibu G10+ Tower™ that raises and lowers at the turn of a dial, and features tower misters, RBG zone lighting, and overhead lighting to illuminate the lounge.

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 16. And just as important, you can opt for wireless charging in the lounge so you and your crew can stay connected all day long.

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.

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.

MaxPivot Seat™

Upgrade to the MaxPivot Seat to customize your interior on the fly — create a sun bed at the back, or a rear-facing bench seat with or without the table flipped up.

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
