An Icon, Evolved
Introducing the all-new Ski Nautique – an evolution of a true icon. Following suit with its 65-year legacy marked by more personal bests and world records than any other waterski boat in history, the Ski Nautique has been reengineered to push the boundaries of what’s possible in three-event waterskiing. Significantly lighter than the previous generation, the completely redesigned Ski Nautique has been refined from bow to stern with functional design elements and cutting-edge technology to deliver unprecedented performance capabilities with every pass through the course.


EXTERIOR
STREAMLINED ELEGANCE
Sculpted lines fuse iconic Nautique design language with an elegant, streamlined look for an impactful presence that conveys exceptional strength and timeless style. This all-new hull design carries the spirit of the iconic Ski Nautique heritage while representing the future of three-event waterskiing.

INTERIOR
ERGONOMIC EXCELLENCE
The Ski Nautique’s interior blends ergonomic design with sophisticated refinement – every detail has been crafted with intent, embodying Nautique’s signature design elements that provide an elevated, luxurious feel and comfort without compromise.

PERFORMANCE
BEYOND LIMITS
The all-new Ski Nautique unleashes unprecedented performance capabilities, setting a new standard in three-event waterskiing. Designed to exceed the ambitious performance needs of the best waterskiers in the world as well as beginners and veterans alike, this next generation Ski Nautique pushes beyond previous limits to redefine what’s possible on the water.
BIMINI
Available as a deck mounted option, the all-new bimini provides full and broad coverage from all the elements. In the booted position, the bimini can be stowed in the forward or aft position under the mooring cove, and with minimal framing, its extemely easy to deploy.
GUNNEL NOTCH-OUT
The notch-out in the gunnels of the Ski Nautique gives the driver or passenger better ability to communicate with the skier in the water. Designed to create a better connection to the skier when picking up, it also provides great visibility whiles the boat is stationery.
WINDSHEILD
The Ski Nautique’s all new windshield was designed to provide a more open feel, allowing the driver to have a more clear view with a better connection to the skier. This new windshield offers a sleek, streamlined look, with integrated navigation lights seamlessly built into the design.

JL AUDIO TRANSOM STEREO REMOTE
Control your music from the back of the Ski Nautique with the optional JL Audio transom stereo remote. Conveniently located at the stern, adjacent to the rear walk-through, the stereo remote provides the perfect way to adjust your music before a set or while hanging out around the swim platform.

PLATFORM HANDLE
Easily board the platform from the water with the Ski Nautique’s built-in platform grab-handle. Placed perfectly within reach, this handle is integrated into the platform for a low-profile appearance that blends seamlessly into the Ski Nautique’s sleek aesthetic.

FUEL FILL
Further minimizing the Ski Nautique’s weight, and thus contributing to increased performance, the previous generation’s dual fuel fill has been reduced to a single fuel fill on the port side. With the fuel fill intentionally placed in the middle of the boat, we’ve simplified the hose routing to the fuel tank, also decreasing weight. Additionally, the fuel tank is near the center of gravity of the boat so that the running attitude remains constant as you consume fuel throughout the day.

FENDER PRO
The Nautique Fender Pro option on the Ski Nautique offers a convenient and secure way to protect your boat from any impact while docking. With an easy-to-use clip that engages into each port, your fenders can remain at a consistent height, avoiding the hassle of constant adjustments. This also leaves your cleats available for dock lines.
GRAB HANDLES
The all-new Ski Nautique incorporates elegantly appointed, hand-stitched grab handles. Thoughtfully designed to maintain a minimalist profile, these new grab handles contribute to the Ski Nautique’s sophisticated aesthetic.
WIRELESS PHONE CHARGER
At the helm of the all-new Ski Nautique, we’ve incorporated a new, wireless phone charger that holds any sized smartphone and provides full-screen visibility for use with supplemental tournament applications.
BOW STORAGE
The storage area inside the closed bow of the Ski Nautique is a massive space for storing all your watersports gear and much more. Easily accessed by flipping up the passenger seat, the storage area includes Nauteak Non-Skid and courtesy lighting.
MIRROR
The 2026 Ski Nautique features an all-new mirror with 360-degree adjustable bracket. With unparalleled, sharp clarity and appealing design aesthetics, this mirror provides a panoramic view of the skier from buoy to buoy.

HELM SEAT
The Ski Nautique’s helm seat provides comfort, support, and adjustability for the best driving experience on the market. Situated lower in the cockpit, the helm seat is aligned to give the driver the perfect line of sight through the windshield.

JUMP SWITCH ACCESS
Immediately adjacent to the base of the pylon is the all-new jump switch access port, giving quick access to the jump switch connector. It also provides a path that routes under the floor and through to the passenger seat compartment, where we have power outlets to support other tournament related electronics.

HELM COMMAND CENTRE
The all-new Helm Command Center was designed to elevate the driving experience, providing seamless control over all aspects of your Ski Nautique. The Helm Command rotary encoder can be used to navigate your LINC Panoray display while sitting comfortably in the driver’s seat, and there are hot keys surrounding the rotary encoder for streamlined access to your speed, event selection, home, and left and right to toggle through menus. There is also a separate knob for your stereo so you can quickly adjust your volume, skip tracks, play, and pause your music.

SIDE STEPS
When docked, the interior side steps, now incorporated aft of the bimini, give passengers an easy, unobstructed way to enter or exit the boat on either side.

SKI CRADLES
The all-new, purpose-built ski cradles utilize side bumpers and a tension arm to capture the body of your ski. This open concept contributes to a spacious feel within the interior while providing optimal function and further minimizing the overall weight of the boat. To ensure your skis are protected, these ski cradles are lined with NauTeak Non-Skid and dip down to provide ample clearance for any sized fin. These cradles are also pulled tightly against the transom, making stored skis fully accessible from the swim platform.

REMOVABLE REAR SEATING
The Ski Nautique’s rear seating has a removable 3-cushion design with new magnetic plungers and a platform underneath. This seating can be utilized as a bench seat with all three cushions installed, or you can remove the middle cushion to reveal a built-in step to the transom. If you remove all 3 cushions, this area can be used as a coaching platform.

JL AUDIO STEREO
We’ve teamed up with JL Audio to provide incredible stereo options that are specifically calibrated for optimal sound in the Ski Nautique. It comes standard with the M3 Series Stereo package which gives you 2 6.5” speakers in the font of the cockpit, or you can upgrade your sound experience with two additional speakers towards the back of the cockpit.

DASHBOARD
The Ski Nautique’s dashboard has an all-new look for 2026. We’ve eliminated the dashboard hood, staying true to the minimalistic design language while maintaining a refined feel. We’ve also incorporated power to the left of the dashboard for things like windshield mounted cameras. The large, open area is great for things like your keys, wallet, or sunglasses, and there’s a new, additional cubby for personal items that also incorporates the new start/stop button, horn, and a designated place for your drain plug.

GLOVEBOX
The all-new glovebox lid is lighter than its predecessor and features a new ski deco pattern along with a race inspired finger pull to access the storage below. Inside the glovebox, you’ll find the JL Audio head unit, power ports, the optional passenger seat heater, and a new ring holder.

LINC PANORAY TOUCHSCREEN
The extremely intuitive LINC Panoray Touchscreen allows the driver to fine-tune every aspect of the Ski Nautique’s performance. With an all-new interface for 2026, the LINC Panoray automatically activates the HydroGate® and MicroTuners® to their optimal positions based on your three-event discipline of choice and your personalized settings. The LINC Panoray also allows you to map your course and choose other settings like pull type, wait time, jump letter, PF:SSA, RTB, and ballast.
TRACKING FINS
Stay perfectly in the course while pulling waterskiers and track straight down the lake with ease thanks to the Ski Nautique tracking fins. These make prevision driving easy and your days at the helm stress-free.
AUTOMATED HYDROGATE
Our patented HydroGate fine-tunes the running surface of the Ski Nautique automatically, giving you the perfect pull for all three event disciplines. With the ability to lock the HydroGate in 10 positions from stowed to completely deployed, you can customise your wakes with accuracy.

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.

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.

PCM® ENGINES
The Ski Nautique comes standard with the PCM ZZ6, which is a high-performance 6.2L direct injection engine that provides 450 HP with 465 Ft-Lb of torque. You also have the option to step down to the PCM ZZ5, a 5.3L direct injection engine that delivers 355 HP with 400 Ft-lb of torque.

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.
