2021 Nautique Super Air G23

Slide into the captain’s chair of this G23 and the first thing you notice is how thought-out every inch feels. The dash is clean and modern, with intuitive touchscreen controls that keep ballast, speed and lighting right at your fingertips. The cockpit layout makes it easy to move from helm to platform without stepping over gear, and the deep freeboard gives everyone a secure, tucked-in ride when the water gets choppy. Storage is cavernous under the seats and in the transom lockers, with room for a full quiver of boards. At the end of the day, the rear-facing seats and oversized swim platform turn the boat into a floating lounge for sunset hangs.

This G23 is a smart match for local riders who split time between glassy mornings and busier afternoon sessions. Its weight and hull design help it settle into the water for a more planted feel when traffic kicks up, while still staying agile enough for tight coves and narrower waterways. The adjustable surf systems let you dial in clean waves even when wind or current isn’t cooperating. With plenty of shaded seating and thoughtful cupholder placement, it doubles nicely as a social cruiser for no-wake zones and sandbar days, all while delivering a pro-level pull whenever it’s time to ride.
