Tige Ultre 23ZX
The Tigé Ultré 23ZX is a 2024 flagship wake and surf boat offering top-tier performance, luxury, and technology in a 23.5-foot platform. Built on the proven ZX hull with up to 4,300 lbs of ballast, it delivers powerful, customizable surf waves and clean, rampy wakeboard wakes. Featuring TAPS 3T, the Smart2 Wheel, a power tower, CLEAR touchscreen, and CoolTouch vinyl, it rivals the Malibu M240, G23, and Ri245 in fit, finish, and function. It’s Tigé’s most advanced boat yet.
The Tigé Ultré 23ZX, released in 2024, is Tigé’s most advanced and refined boat to date. Based on the proven ZX hull but reimagined with ultraluxury fit and finish, the Ultré line represents a bold new direction for Tigé — where design, technology, and surf innovation converge. If you're looking for elite surf and wake performance in a 23-foot package with super-premium styling and features, the Ultré 23ZX stands at the top of its class.
As an inboard expert with 30+ years of experience, I can confidently say the Ultré 23ZX is Tigé’s answer to the Malibu M-Series, Nautique G-Series, and MasterCraft XStar S — and it holds its own across the board.
