Malibu Boats, a recognized global leader in towed watersports, has officially announced its groundbreaking 2025 lineup, headlined by the completely redesigned Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV. This release also unveils the all-new Malibu Command Center™ and an innovative boat builder tool, marking a significant leap forward for the brand and the entire watersports industry.
The All-New 2025 Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV: Luxury Meets Performance
The 2025 Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV is not just a new boat; it’s a paradigm shift in the watersports towboat experience. Marrying unparalleled luxury with state-of-the-art technology and elite performance, this model is engineered to cater to larger groups while delivering an unmatched on-water adventure.
The foundation of the 25 LSV’s revolution is its completely redesigned hull. This stunningly aesthetic hull is not only visually appealing but also functionally superior. Its increased depth allows for greater ballast capacity and expanded under-seat storage, while simultaneously enhancing passenger comfort by allowing them to sit lower in the boat. Paired with the 25 LSV’s refined, classic bow design, passengers enjoy enhanced protection from spray, even in challenging, windy conditions, contributing to a noticeably smoother and more comfortable ride for everyone onboard.
Comfort is paramount throughout the 25 LSV’s expansive 25-foot deck. Ample and luxurious lounge seating accommodates up to eighteen people, making it ideal for large families and groups of friends. Malibu’s ingenious optional Natalie Seat™ in the bow exemplifies thoughtful design, creating a comfortable third seat with a supportive backrest. This innovative feature ensures three adults can relax in the bow area, while also serving as an effective wind dam for the cockpit, further enhancing passenger comfort.

Beyond comfort, practicality is woven into the design. The plush seating cleverly integrates as storage solutions, with hinged seats revealing substantial, deep storage compartments underneath – perfect for stowing away wakeboards, skis, and other gear. When the watersports action pauses, the 25 LSV seamlessly transforms into a premium social platform. With abundant seating for all, there’s plenty of space for everyone to bask in the sun and socialize in comfort. Malibu’s latest seating innovations elevate on-water gatherings to new levels of relaxation. A standout feature is the optional Max-Relax Sundeck Loungers™ at the transom. These versatile loungers serve as premium backrests for the rear seats or can be flipped up to become luxurious lounge seats facing the interior. Thoughtfully placed cup holders are within easy reach of every seat onboard.
Further enhancing the social atmosphere is Malibu’s optional Max Pivot Seat™. This ingenious feature quickly transforms the wraparound lounge from a traditional bench seat to a convivial picnic table, a rear-facing seat for watersports viewing, or even a sprawling sun bed. The filler cushion is easily removable, creating an unobstructed Soft Grip walkway between the swim platform and the lounge, ensuring easy movement without stepping on upholstery.
The rider experience is central to the 25 LSV’s design, starting with Malibu’s industry-leading optional G10+ Tower®. Initially introduced in 2024, the G10+ Tower is packed with technology and features to elevate the experience for both riders and everyone onboard. Integrated RGB lighting, controllable from the helm, allows for personalized onboard ambiance, while overhead lights illuminate the lounge for evening gear stowing. Optional tower misters provide refreshing cooling on hot days. The G10+ also features Malibu’s fully electric Power Tower, enabling quick folding with a simple dial turn for navigating under bridges and other height restrictions.

The 2025 Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV excels in creating crisp, clean, and consistent wakes and waves, even in choppy water conditions. This is achieved through model-specific ballast placement and a meticulously engineered running surface. The Power Wedge® III further enhances wake and wave customization, ranging from gentle and forgiving for beginners to steep and powerful for advanced riders. Wave customization is easily controlled via the Malibu Command Center™ or remotely from the rider’s wrist with the Surf Band®. Malibu’s revolutionary Surf Gate® technology creates a surfable wave on either side of the boat at the touch of a button while maintaining even boat weighting. Its rapid side-to-side switching allows for seamless surfer transfers without interrupting the boat’s momentum.
The 2025 Malibu Wakesetter 25 LSV redefines the benchmark for watersports boats, blending next-level style, luxury, and technology. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to watersports, the 25 LSV delivers an unparalleled on-water experience, solidifying its position as the ultimate choice for watersports enthusiasts.

Industry-First AIS Ballast Flush System: Environmental Responsibility
Malibu Boats continues to lead the industry with another innovation: the Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) ballast flush system. As the only wakeboat company to offer this advanced feature, Malibu provides an optional upgrade on all 2025 models. This convenient system allows users to connect a fresh water line to a single transom connection. With a Command Center button press, the AIS system automatically flushes every component of the hard tank ballast system, from seacock to thru-hull. This ensures a complete system flush with minimal effort, promoting environmental responsibility and boat longevity. An optional AIS/Salt Rinse Kit is also available with new Malibu trailers, further simplifying boat ownership.
