2026 Malibu Boats M230

The Malibu M230 is handcrafted to deliver the most premium on-water experience—both in and behind the boat. Showcasing the bold M-Series profile and signature elevated freeboard, the M230 commands attention with its powerful stance and expansive interior. Every detail is designed for more—more passengers, more ballast, more storage—all without sacrificing the legendary Malibu performance.

Engineered for perfection, Surf Gate® Fusion is seamlessly integrated into the M-Line Hull, creating an ultra-sleek exterior and the cleanest, most customizable surf swells in the industry. Step aboard and experience Malibu's hallmark innovations and refined craftsmanship at every touchpoint—from the Ascend Pro Tower™ and Raise & Laze™ Arm Rest to the reimagined walkthrough bow, Max-Relax™ Sundeck Loungers, and custom triple-layer Soft Grip flooring.

One look at the M230, and it's clear why this icon stands as the benchmark of luxury, innovation, and performance in its class. That's Truth on the Water™.

Features may include

Upgrade to the Ascend Pro Tower that raises and lowers at the turn of a dial and includes overhead lighting to illuminate the lounge. Or, opt for Malibu's standard Ascend Tower that effortlessly stows gear, tows riders, and easily folds low.

Featured exclusively on all M-Series models, Surf Gate® Fusion integrates directly into the M-Line hull for a sleek & stealthy design that generates the cleanest surf swells in the industry.

The available Stern Turn™ allows the captain to activate a rear thruster from the throttle to turn the boat on a dime for easy water maneuvering and effortless docking capabilities.

The unique M-Line Hull produces the world's cleanest wakes and waves with ease. Featuring a higher freeboard, the M230 provides deeper seating, more ballast, extensive storage, and a smooth ride — all without sacrificing your wave performance.

The M230's signature shovel-nose bow provides you with more space than ever before. Here, you'll find diamond-pattern stitching on the vinyl accent panels, Soft Grip on the horizontal running surfaces, ultra-modern speaker grills, flip-down armrests, and integrated cup holders and phone holders.

The M230 features a bow walkthrough design, making it easy to walk from the swim platform to the bow without stepping on any vinyl. For more seating, add the removable Natalie Seat™ that doubles as both a backrest and wind block.

Made from the highest quality materials, Malibu produces our own Soft Grip flooring for ultimate durability and comfort on the water. Featured only on the M-Series, enjoy Malibu's custom three-layer soft grip to take your interior look to the next level.

The E-Z Stash Board locker provides your crew with easy access to deep storage for all of your watersports gear. Equipped with gullwing hatches and gas-spring-assisted-hinges, the walkway folds back to reveal a spacious wet-storage area perfect for vests, boards, and ropes

Featuring an ergonomic helm design and operating system, the Malibu Command Center features an ultra-wide, low-profile screen complete with rider and driver profiles, watersports presets, and simplified functionality for a captain's experience like no other.

The M230 comes standard with the revolutionary Malibu Monsoon M6Di® direct injection engine, which is the cleanest, quietest, most reliable, most fuel-efficient and most powerful engine in its class. Upgrade to the Malibu Monsoon LT4 for even more effortless power.
