SUPER AIR NAUTIQUE S23
UNDENIABLY NAUTIQUE
The completely redesigned S23 carries an immediate sense of presence – an unmistakable blend of Nautique’s storied heritage and modern expression of design. From every angle, its bold yet timeless character feels intentional, where elegant simplicity meets purposeful detail. The thoughtfully curated interior mirrors that same design language, with elevated, intuitive creature comforts and expanded storage solutions. The newly developed hull delivers unprecedented versatility in wake and wave performance, equally at home teaching beginners as it is advancing seasoned progression. It’s a modern take on a classic, refined to its essence, and designed to deliver a complete, uncompromising on-water experience that feels distinctly, and undeniably, Nautique.

HULL PERFORMANCE
The reimagined S23 represents a new interpretation of Nautique performance – refined to its essence and shaped by more than a century of innovation. Inspired by the legendary Nautique G‑Series, the precisely engineered running surface has been redesigned to encapsulate Nautique’s performance heritage while forging into the future of wake and wave capability.

FLIGHT CONTROL TOWER®
For 2027, the all-new S23 offers three tower options. The redesigned Standard Flight Control Tower provides the perfect tow point for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, folding down manually for easy storage or clearance under low bridges.


HANDLING
At the bow, the all-new S23 showcases elegant styling with a deep-V entry angle and tall freeboard. This design delivers dynamic, predictable handling that inspires confidence behind the wheel across a wide range of conditions.
Exceptionally stable yet impressively nimble, the traditional bow cuts cleanly through larger waves when circling around for double-ups or retrieving riders – handling rough water with ease while keeping everyone on board comfortable and dry.

WAKE
Midship, the S23’s hull surface becomes critical to wakeboarding performance. The running surface manages how water breaks along the center of the boat, producing crisp, clean wakes with the consistency riders expect from a Nautique. This refined design delivers the optimal foundation for wakeboarding progression, providing a wake shape that works for riders of all ages and abilities.

WAVE
At the transom, the S23’s all-new hull design evolves to deliver Nautique’s most versatile, high-performance wave to date. As water wraps around the rear corners on the boat, it forms a more natural surf wave with a clean, wide face and a smooth transition from crest to trough. This delivers plenty of room to play around with extra forgiveness that comes with a large pocket – giving beginners time to recover and build confidence while still providing the performance needed to progress into advanced riding.

NAUTIQUE SURF SYSTEM®
The Nautique Surf System (NSS) is engineered to work in tandem with the all-new running surface of the S23 to create the perfect wave at the touch of a button. Integrated into the hull, its WAVEPLATES extend from the transom to redirect the flow of water to shape clean, customizable waves.

NAUTIQUE STEERING ASSIST
The S23’s Nautique Steering Assist option is your ally in the driver’s seat. This stern mounted thruster assists in low-speed maneuvers, offering precise handling with minimal effort. It allows you to back up left, right or even in a straight line with pinpoint accuracy and is great for docking, maneuvering in tight quarters or even spinning a 360 out on the open water.

NAUTIQUE CONFIGUREABLE RUNNING SURFACE®
The S23 has amazing performance characteristics thanks to the Nautique Configurable Running Surface (NCRS). As an extension of the hull, the NCRS deploys and stows automatically based on user-settings and allows the S23 to perform flawlessly at any speed and for any activity. The NCRS allows the wake and wave shape to be customizable, aids in getting the S23 up on plane, and automatically optimizes the running attitude of the boat for ideal driver visibility.
NAUTIQUE STEERING ASSIST THROTTLE CONTROL
New for 2027, the Steering Assist Throttle Control was ergonomically designed for easy, intuitive adjustments without removing your hand from the throttle. By simply nudging the thruster control forward or backward, you can make precise steering corrections, moving the transom left or right, respectively.

LINC PANORAY TOUCHSCREEN
The LINC Panoray Touchscreen delivers the most intuitive helm interface experience on the market. With everything centralized in one location, your driving experience is dialed into unmatched accessibility and efficiency, keeping critical information clearly in view while giving you effortless control of the S23’s onboard systems.

HELM COMMAND™
Integrated into the wide armrest of the all-new S23 is the updated Helm Command, also found on the Paragon and G-Series models. Perfectly positioned for the driver, it puts essential controls within easy reach – creating a more connected driving experience.


IN-FLOOR COOLER
New for 2027, the S23 has adopted the G-Series floorboard, which features an integrated in-floor cooler beside the driver and passenger seating, allowing access to refreshments without asking anyone to leave their seats. This thoughtful redesign also frees up additional under-seat storage and provides easier access to the bilge and drain plug.

INTERIOR SEATING
The interior of the all-new S23 has been elevated with a meticulous focus on comfort, craftsmanship, and purposeful design. Carefully curated to reflect the S23’s bold yet timeless character, the interior seamlessly mirrors the design language of the exterior to create a cohesive and immersive environment.

ENHANCED COURTESY LIGHTING
Customize your S23’s interior with the optional Enhanced Courtesy Lighting Package. Conveniently select from a full range of colors to change the courtesy lights, cupholder lights and seat badging right from the LINC Panoray touchscreen.

POCKET DESIGN AND LIGHTING
The S23 pockets have been upgraded to feature elegantly upholstered panels that echo the boat’s exterior lines, creating a seamless, unified look that reflects its contemporary yet classic aesthetic.

JL AUDIO STEREO
For the all-new 2027 S23, we’ve teamed up with JL Audio to offer stereo options that are specifically engineered and calibrated for exceptional sound on the water. Building on the strong audio performance of the previous generation, the updated system brings enhanced clarity, balance, and overall depth throughout the boat.
HULL
The S23 hull design draws on the confidence of legacy models, reimagined into a refined, more contemporary silhouette.
Bold forward shoulders convey strength and precision, echoing the craftsmanship that defines the Nautique line-up, tracing back to the first-generation G-Series.

ELECTRIC STEERING
The S23 features an electric steering system that delivers a remarkably smooth, responsive driving experience. Effort at the wheel is reduced while precision and control are enhanced, offering a confident feel whether you’re pulling a rider or cruising across the lake.

S23 DASHBOARD
Taking inspiration from the latest generation of the Ski Nautique, the dashboard aboard the all-new S23 has been redesigned, eliminating the dashboard hood in favor of a more streamlined design.


SWIVEL MIRROR
The S23 comes standard with a dual-position mirror that folds up to deliver a clear view behind the transom and folds down for storage. New for 2027, you can upgrade to the swivel mirror, featuring a 360-degree adjustable bracket for precise positioning. Designed with exceptional clarity and elevated aesthetics, this premium mirror provides a wide, panoramic view of everything happening behind the boat – so you never miss a moment on the water.

AWARENESS CAMERA
The Nautique Awareness Camera is mounted high on the tower of the S23 to stay dry while delivering a clear, overhead view of all activity around the transom – accessible directly via the LINC Panoray touchscreen.

ENGINE OPTIONS
We are proud to offer a wide selection of engine options in the all-new S23. Thanks to its highly efficient hull design, the S23 can achieve signature Nautique performance with less horsepower. It comes standard with our Direct-Injection PCM ZZ5 which is a 5.3L engine that blends reliability and performance with enhanced fuel efficiency. If that isn’t enough, this boat can also come equipped with the PCM ZZ6 or the supercharged PCM ZZ8S which provide 450 HP with 465 Ft-Lb of torque, and 630 HP with 665 Ft-Lb of torque, respectively.
