2027 Super Air Nautique S23
Performance
Hull Performance
The reimagined S23 represents a new interpretation of Nautique performance – refined to its essence and shaped by more than a century of innovation. Inspired by the legendary Nautique G‑Series, the precisely engineered running surface has been redesigned to encapsulate Nautique’s performance heritage while forging into the future of wake and wave capability.
Hull Performance - handling
At the bow, the all-new S23 showcases elegant styling with a deep-V entry angle and tall freeboard. This design delivers dynamic, predictable handling that inspires confidence behind the wheel across a wide range of conditions.
Exceptionally stable yet impressively nimble, the traditional bow cuts cleanly through larger waves when circling around for double-ups or retrieving riders – handling rough water with ease while keeping everyone on board comfortable and dry.
Hull Performance - Wave
At the transom, the S23’s all-new hull design evolves to deliver Nautique’s most versatile, high-performance wave to date. As water wraps around the rear corners on the boat, it forms a more natural surf wave with a clean, wide face and a smooth transition from crest to trough. This delivers plenty of room to play around with extra forgiveness that comes with a large pocket – giving beginners time to recover and build confidence while still providing the performance needed to progress into advanced riding.
The strong, consistent push and broad range of power keeps you locked into the wave while supporting everything from huge bottom turns to explosive airs. Fully adjustable, this wave allows every rider to dial in the shape and size that suits their style, from mellow and soft to steep and powerful.
HULL PERFORMANCE – WAKE
Midship, the S23’s hull surface becomes critical to wakeboarding performance. The running surface manages how water breaks along the center of the boat, producing crisp, clean wakes with the consistency riders expect from a Nautique. This refined design delivers the optimal foundation for wakeboarding progression, providing a wake shape that works for riders of all ages and abilities.
Nautique Surf System®
The Nautique Surf System (NSS) is engineered to work in tandem with the all-new running surface of the S23 to create the perfect wave at the touch of a button. Integrated into the hull, its WAVEPLATES extend from the transom to redirect the flow of water to shape clean, customizable waves.
This innovative technology also allows surfers to switch sides instantly without the need to shift ballast or your crew inside the boat. The wave can be dialed in via the 0-10 setting displayed on the LINC Panoray touchscreen and can be adjusted in real time, giving the driver complete control for a perfect set, every time.
Nautique Steering Assist
The S23’s Nautique Steering Assist option is your ally in the driver’s seat. This stern mounted thruster assists in low-speed maneuvers, offering precise handling with minimal effort. It allows you to back up left, right or even in a straight line with pinpoint accuracy and is great for docking, maneuvering in tight quarters or even spinning a 360 out on the open water.
Supplemental Ballast
The S23 has a Supplemental Ballast option for those days on the water when your entire crew can’t come along. Designed to act as supplemental weight to offset your smaller crew, this option includes two 250-pound sacks, one in each rear compartment, with dedicated pumps that are plumbed into the ballast system and will automatically fill and empty via the LINC Panoray Touchscreen.
Nautique Configurable Running Surface®
The S23 has amazing performance characteristics thanks to the Nautique Configurable Running Surface (NCRS). As an extension of the hull, the NCRS deploys and stows automatically based on user-settings and allows the S23 to perform flawlessly at any speed and for any activity. The NCRS allows the wake and wave shape to be customizable, aids in getting the S23 up on plane, and automatically optimizes the running attitude of the boat for ideal driver visibility.
Engine Options
We are proud to offer a wide selection of engine options in the all-new S23. Thanks to its highly efficient hull design, the S23 can achieve signature Nautique performance with less horsepower. It comes standard with our Direct-Injection PCM ZZ5 which is a 5.3L engine that blends reliability and performance with enhanced fuel efficiency. If that isn’t enough, this boat can also come equipped with the PCM ZZ6 or the supercharged PCM ZZ8S which provide 450 HP with 465 Ft-Lb of torque, and 630 HP with 665 Ft-Lb of torque, respectively.
If you’re interested in a diesel engine option, the S23 can be fitted with the Yanmar 8LV. That’s a 370HP engine that delivers an amazing 595 Ft-Lb of torque.
MYNAUTIQUE™ INTEGRATION
Nautique is proud to offer the MyNautique integrated connectivity platform aboard the 2027 S23. Standard on this model, MyNautique gives you the capability to remotely view your S23’s fuel level, location, battery voltage and other important information from your smart phone, tablet or computer.
Garmin® Watch Integration
Remotely control the Surf Select 3.0 equipped S23 while you surf or wakeboard with the Nautique app for Garmin watches. While surfing, you can change your boat’s speed, music volume, wave settings, quickly use ballast shift, or change the wave side and transfer on the fly. This app works with a wide array of Garmin watches.
SUB-FLOOR SUPPLEMENTAL BALLAST
New for 2027, the redesigned S23 can be equipped with optional supplemental ballast, now housed entirely under the floor. Designed to act as supplemental weight for your crew capacity, this sub-floor ballast strategically places 1,100 additional pounds midship, freeing up valuable storage space and guaranteeing optimal wake and wave shape no matter how many friends are along for the ride.

Stern
Reversible Stern Seat
Standard on the S23, the reversible stern seat slides out and flips up to provide seating that’s as comfortable as it is perfectly positioned for all the action.
Ski Pylon
The ski pylon option serves as an additional tow point on the S23. Integrated into the transom, the ski pylon conveniently pops up and retracts as needed to pull a variety of watersports activities.
TRANSOM COMMUNICATING STORAGE
The transom communicating storage on the all-new S23 has been completely redesigned with unprecedented storage space and accessibility. The three-hatch layout features a center hatch that protects the engine, and the side compartments now extend along the gunnel, creating extra length to accommodate longer wakeboards and surfboards. These compartments flow seamlessly into the under-seat storage, creating a continuous, intuitive space for all your watersports gear. With this effortless access and intelligently arranged space, the S23 is always ready, without compromise.
Rear Walk through
Easily make your way from the lounge of the S23 to the swim platform area using the Nauteak Non-Skid covered rear walk-through. This transom walk-through comfortably invites passage into or out of the boat while ensuring you will never have to step on your upholstery.
TRANSOM SEATING
The transom seats aboard the S23 are the perfect place to unwind after a set or simply lounge with friends. Angled inward, these seats foster a social atmosphere, allowing you to easily chat and connect with your crew or anyone swimming around the platform as you enjoy a day on the lake.
TRANSOM STEREO REMOTE
Upgrade your experience at the transom of the S23 with the optional transom stereo remote. Get your music dialed in right before you ride, or when you’re relaxing in the transom seats and swimming off the platform.
MANUAL SWIM TERRACE
An all-new option for 2027, the S23 can come equipped with the Manual Swim Terrace. Seamlessly integrated into the underside of the swim platform to preserve a clean, uninterrupted surface above, the manual swim terrace slides out and drops down to provide a wide, sturdy step for confident access to and from the water. For added peace of mind, a built-in sensor will alert the driver if the engine ignites while the Manual Swim Terrace is still deployed.
2027 Super Air Nautique S23
Midship
FLIGHT CONTROL TOWER®
For 2027, the all-new S23 offers three tower options. The redesigned Standard Flight Control Tower provides the perfect tow point for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, folding down manually for easy storage or clearance under low bridges.
The optional, redesigned Actuated Flight Control Tower adds effortless convenience, raising or lowering at the touch of a button.
You can also step up to the Telescoping Flight Control Tower™. Featuring powered height adjustment that telescopes smoothly while the bimini stays in place and passengers remain comfortably seated, this tower is more than functional – it’s unmistakably Nautique.
TOWER SPEAKERS
In the all-new S23, we have some great tower speaker options. On the Manual and Actuated Flight Control Towers, as well as on the Telescoping Flight Control Tower, you can opt for one or two pairs of our 8.8” JL Audio M6 full range drivers that provide perfect sound while you’re surfing or riding. Adding to the atmosphere, all tower speaker options on the S23 feature integrated down lighting that casts a soft, ambient glow across the lounge at night, enhancing your evening outings.
NAUTIQUE STRAPLESS BOARD RACKS AND FOIL CONVERSION KIT
The Nautique Strapless Board Racks are an option on the S23 and can accommodate foil boards when you opt up to the Foil Conversion Kit.
The tines are over-molded to keep your boards protected and are designed to securely hold curvy rail profiles in place, and the MAG 2.0 Swivel includes three stopping positions for a seamless experience when loading and unloading boards.
When you upgrade to the Foil Conversion Kit, your Nautique Strapless Board Racks transform to accommodate the unique demands of foil boards with the adjustable mast support system and mast clamp, ensuring secure storage for one foil on each upper rack. With the ability to fold down for storage or a more compact look when not in use, the Foil Conversion Kit delivers the ultimate solution for storing foil boards on your S23.

Standard on the Telescoping Flight Control Tower, and optional on the Actuated and Manual Flight Control Tower, the S23 bimini provides convenient storage for two surfboards up top. If you opt for the Telescoping Flight Control Tower, mesh storage is incorporated underneath the bimini to store ropes and other watersports accessories.
MOORING COVERS
For 2027, the optional mooring covers for the S23 have been fully redesigned to combine enhanced functionality and ease of use. When you opt for the manual or actuated Flight Control Towers, the all-new mooring cover can be installed with the tower up or down. Securing the cover is easier than ever thanks to bow cleat straps, and when you opt for the Telescoping Flight Control Tower, an extended interior access panel gives quick entry into the boat’s interior without having to remove the cover. Perfect for protecting your S23 at the dock or on the road, the upgraded designs also include pattern enhancements for added durability on the move.

For added sun protection, the optional Extended Sun Shade offers generous coverage across the transom of the S23 to keep you cool and comfortable even on the hottest summer days.
WINDSHIELD
The all-new S23’s redesigned windshield brings a sleek, refined look that perfectly complements its exterior styling. With navigation lights seamlessly integrated into the windshield frame, the result is a more streamlined profile that enhances its modern yet timeless presence on the water.
IN-FLOOR COOLER
New for 2027, the S23 has adopted the G-Series floorboard, which features an integrated in-floor cooler beside the driver and passenger seating, allowing access to refreshments without asking anyone to leave their seats. This thoughtful redesign also frees up additional under-seat storage and provides easier access to the bilge and drain plug.
INTERIOR SEATING
The interior of the all-new S23 has been elevated with a meticulous focus on comfort, craftsmanship, and purposeful design. Carefully curated to reflect the S23’s bold yet timeless character, the interior seamlessly mirrors the design language of the exterior to create a cohesive and immersive environment. Enhanced seat foam thickness and contouring create a more supportive, luxurious seating experience, and thoughtfully integrated comfort features feel intuitive and refined, with each element intentionally placed to enhance both form and function.

JL AUDIO® STEREO
For the all-new 2027 S23, we’ve teamed up with JL Audio to offer stereo options that are specifically engineered and calibrated for exceptional sound on the water. Building on the strong audio performance of the previous generation, the updated system brings enhanced clarity, balance, and overall depth throughout the boat.

GLOVEBOX
The glovebox on the all-new S23 embraces a minimalistic design that complements the refined, elevated aesthetic of the helm. Inspired by the latest generation of the Ski Nautique, it features a race-inspired finger pull for effortless access to the storage below. Inside the glovebox, you’ll find various charging ports and the button for the optional passenger seat heater along with a wireless charging pad if you opt for the wireless charging package. Wrapped in NauTeak Non-Skid, this wireless charging pad was designed as the perfect place to keep phones shaded and secure while charging.
INTEGRATED AIR PUMP
You can conveniently inflate or deflate tubes or other inflatable watersports equipment while out on your S23 when you opt for our integrated air pump.

THROW PILLOWS
Our signature Nautique throw pillows are a new option aboard the 2027 S23. With two pillows per set, these are color matched to your interior and can be placed in various locations throughout the lounge to add yet another level of luxury in your S23.
PHENDER PRO
The Nautique Phender Pro option on the S23 offers a convenient and secure way to protect your boat from impact while docking. With an easy-to-use clip that engages into each of the six ports, your fenders can remain at a consistent height, avoiding the hassle of constant adjustments. This also leaves your cleats available for dock lines.

LINC Panoray Touchscreen
The LINC Panoray Touchscreen delivers the most intuitive helm interface experience on the market. With everything centralized in one location, your driving experience is dialed into unmatched accessibility and efficiency, keeping critical information clearly in view while giving you effortless control of the S23’s onboard systems.

Integrated into the wide armrest of the all-new S23 is the updated Helm Command, also found on the Paragon and G-Series models. Perfectly positioned for the driver, it puts essential controls within easy reach – creating a more connected driving experience.
At the center of the Helm Command is the Helm Command Knob, a rotary encoder that allows you to easily navigate the LINC Panoray display while sitting comfortably in the driver’s seat. Around the Helm Command Knob, there are Hot Keys for your most used items: speed, user presets, home, and left and right arrow buttons that can be customized to control your wake shape, surf side, ballast shift, or steering assist, if your S23 is equipped.
There is a separate knob for your stereo so you can quickly adjust your volume, skip tracks, play, and pause your music. We’ve also integrated a phone mount with wireless charging that keeps your phone securely in view.

The large, open space is now upholstered for a more refined feel, and is perfect for hats, sunglasses, and other accessories. To the right of the steering wheel, you’ll find newly integrated start/stop and horn buttons, along with a cubby designed to keep smaller personal items secure and within easy reach. This compartment also doubles as a dedicated storage space for your drain plug.
New for the 2027 S23, the remote battery switch is now conveniently incorporated as a button located next to the throttle, replacing the manual battery switch found in the previous generation.
SWIVEL MIRROR
The S23 comes standard with a dual-position mirror that folds up to deliver a clear view behind the transom and folds down for storage.

HULL & BOW
HULL DESIGN
The S23 hull design draws on the confidence of legacy models, reimagined into a refined, more contemporary silhouette.
Bold forward shoulders convey strength and precision, echoing the craftsmanship that defines the Nautique line-up, tracing back to the first-generation G-Series.
Deep, sculpted façades carve out forward-facing surfaces that house the all-new, custom-machined, billet LED Docking Light Array.
The shoulder feature lines are drawn aft, giving the S23 a longer, lower, and more streamlined profile on the water.
Large deck-side embossments anchor the tower with structural harmony and visual integration.
The overall composition is forward-leaning in stance, communicating motion, power, and intent – even at idle.
DOCKING LIGHT ARRAY
The redesigned, optional LED Docking Light Array on the all-new S23 not only provides exceptional visibility when pulling into your dock or boathouse at night, but their modern styling also complements the boat’s clean and contemporary yet traditional lines. During the day, they double as striking daytime running lights, adding a touch of sophistication to the bow.
BOW SEATING
The S23’s wide bow reflects the same thoughtful design found throughout the cockpit, seating up to four passengers while offering four cupholders and a full perimeter of NauTeak non-skid for safe, easy access to and from the dock.
New for 2027, optional bow armrests add extra comfort and support, while integrated sub-floor ballast creates space for ample under-seat storage on both port and starboard sides. For added versatility, an optional bow filler cushion installs in seconds to transform the bow into a full lounge.
Bow Walk Through Trash Can
The standard removable trash can is conveniently integrated into the bow walkthrough area of the S23, easily within reach to dispose of any trash onboard.
