When walking into your local dealer and looking over the beautiful new Malibu Boats on the floor, with their gleaming hulls, striking gel coat and shiny propellers, you could be forgiven for assuming that a wake boat is just for sport.
Although it's true that Malibu wakeboats deliver the perfect ride and the cleanest surf swells and wakes in the industry, performance is not their only purpose.
In fact, Malibu boats are as much about creating a truly industry-leading watersport experience as they are about delivering unprecedented luxury and comfort for everyone on board, creating unforgettable experiences for you, your family and friends.
In today's article, we're going to look at some of the onboard features, amenities and luxuries delivered by Malibu boats, all in addition to the world-class surf and wake capabilities that define Malibu's Truth on the Water™.
A Premium Experience
Malibu Boats are specifically designed to deliver head-turning elegance and indulgent luxuries for everyone on board. Let's take a look at a few of the features you'll find in the Malibu Boats portfolio to see how:
Lounging Around
The Max-Relax Sundeck Loungers provide the best seat in the house. These loungers double as backrests for the rear seats, or act as plush lounge seats when flipped up towards the interior, creating a premium social zone.
All of our upholstery has the option to be wrapped in Malibu's exclusive cool touch vinyl, ensuring that you stay comfortable even when the sun is at its peak.
Versatility in Seating
Malibu's onboard seating innovations aren't limited to Max-Relax loungers. in the lounge, certain Malibu models have the option to include a MaxPivot Seat™.
This clever seat effortlessly and instantly converts the wraparound lounge from a standard bench seat into a rear-facing seat with a backrest or if you prefer, even a sun bed. The space is yours to play with throughout the day, allowing you to change the cockpit configuration to suit your and your crew's preferences at any moment.
Make a Meal of It
As we all know, every great day on the water includes a good picnic with friends and family. On Malibu boats equipped with the MaxPivot seat, a great meal time onboard simply requires a quick flip of the seat which folds it forward and flattens it out, revealing a handy, robust dining table. Several drink holders ensure that unexpected spills are avoided.
Get a Grip
Meanwhile, during your time on board any Malibu boat, your feet will be treated to Malibu's Soft Grip flooring. Developed in-house, Soft Grip flooring is designed to be plush while also being easy to clean, even after the longest days on the water.
Soft Grip is also customized to suit the visual aesthetics of each Malibu model, ensuring that your deck is both comfortable and extremely eye-catching.
Malibu Boats are equally comfortable cruising as they are creating the wake of your dreams. Several onboard amenities can be found on various models, delivering a luxuriously comfy day out cruising as you explore hidden coves and new surf spots.
Bring Them All
For that reason, Malibu boats feature industry-leading amounts of onboard space, ensuring that you can bring up to 15 people - in certain models - with you on the boat. Whether you own a Malibu MXZ with its pickle fork bow or an M-series boat with its shovel-nose bow, Malibu boats are designed to provide you with more space than ever before.
M-series models feature a higher freeboard with deeper seating for a smooth, spray-free ride, even during choppy conditions.
Stay Powered Up
Few things will ruin a memorable hangout with your friends faster than finding that your phone is dead and unable to take any pictures for the Gram.
Thankfully, Malibu's engineers have fitted the whole Malibu range of boats with the option for wireless phone charging pads. No more worrying about whether your phone will make it through the day or have enough battery to take those all-important pictures of your cruise.
Buying a Malibu boat doesn't mean that you are restricted to water sports like wake surfing, wakeboarding, wakefoiling or skiing. Malibu boats are designed to be equally capable tow boats and cruisers.
As we have seen in today's article, that means plenty of space for all of your friends and family, loads of comfortable seating, flexible interior arrangements for dining and lounging, and amenities like wireless chargers to keep everyone connected and enjoying the fun.
