2026 Malibu Boats M242

Redefining what’s possible on the water, the Malibu M242 builds upon the legendary M-Series heritage to deliver the pinnacle of luxury and performance. From its striking presence and sculpted lines to its artfully detailed interior, every inch of the M242 radiates sophistication and purpose. Designed with obsessive attention to detail, it surrounds you with lavish materials, intuitive technology, and purposeful innovations that transform every outing into an unforgettable experience.

Step aboard and discover a world of indulgence with signature elements like the Max-Relax™ Sundeck Loungers, E-Z Stash Board Locker™, and Raise-&-Laze Armrest™—each thoughtfully engineered to elevate comfort and convenience. Every detail serves a purpose, while each finish reflects exceptional craftsmanship.

In true Malibu spirit, the M242 pairs its unmatched craftsmanship with world-class capability. The seamlessly integrated Surf Gate® Fusion system merges with the distinctive M-Line hull to deliver flawless, customizable wakes and surf swells—the cleanest, most dynamic waves ever created. The result: a masterpiece of innovation, artistry, and performance built for those who demand nothing less than perfection. 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.

Featuring a higher freeboard, the M242 provides deeper seating, extensive storage, and a smooth ride — all without sacrificing your wave performance. 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 sound system in the M242 has no equal. Equipped with all-new Zero-8 Wet Sounds speakers and up to four available subwoofers, you can set the perfect tone for the day with balanced sound that fills every inch of the lounge with crisp, clean audio. Combine this with the all-new Rev-12 tower speakers for the ultimate audio experience.

The M242’s dominance starts with the signature shovel-nose bow, providing you with more space than ever before. Here, you will find diamond-pattern stitching on the vinyl accent panels, Soft Grip on the horizontal running surfaces, ultra-modern speaker grills, flip-down armrests, 8 integrated cup holders, and 2 phone holders with wireless charging.

The M242 features an all-new 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.
