Nautique G25
The Nautique G25 is a 25-foot premium wake and surf boat built for large crews and top-tier performance. Since 2013, it has delivered huge wakes, long surf waves, and industry-leading comfort with seating for up to 19. With factory ballast near 2,900 lbs and PCM engines up to 600 HP, the G25 excels at wakeboarding and wakesurfing — even with full crews or at elevation. Durable, spacious, and refined, it’s ideal for riders seeking elite performance in a full-size, versatile package.
The Nautique G25 is the go-to solution for large crews seeking top-tier wake and surf performance. Launched in 2013, the G25 was designed to scale up the already successful G23 platform, offering more interior space, greater ballast capacity, and smoother performance in rougher water. For over a decade, it has been a favorite among serious riders, large families, and high-elevation users who want uncompromised performance in a 25-foot footprint.
As a veteran in the inboard industry, I can confidently say the G25 is one of the most dominant big-water surf boats ever built, with a commanding presence on the lake and world-class ride quality.
