The interior features premium upholstery, smart storage and Malibu’s signature Command Center with intuitive touchscreen controls that make adjusting speed, ballast and surf settings simple. With seating for up to 12 passengers, there is plenty of room for friends and family, while thoughtful details like the transom walkthrough and flip-down swim step make water access effortless.

Whether you are chasing glassy morning water for skiing, building big wakes for boarding or dialing in the perfect surf wave, the 21 LX adapts easily to every riding style.
