MasterCraft Unveils The All-New 2026 X24: More Power, Smarter Tech, Perfect Wake

If you are serious about wakesurfing, wakeboarding, or just living your best life on the water, MasterCraft just dropped some big news. The legendary towboat brand has pulled the wraps off its 2026 lineup, and headlining the show is the all-new, completely redesigned X24, now packed with more power, smarter tech, and class-leading performance.

“For nearly 60 years, MasterCraft has led the industry – pioneering performance, driving innovation, and creating lifelong memories,” said Krista Schipner, MasterCraft’s Vice President of Marketing. “Today, we’re excited to raise the bar with the industry’s most diverse lineup. From fresh new colors to intuitive technology and performance upgrades, every detail in every MasterCraft model is thoughtfully crafted to deliver experiences that turn every day on the water into an unforgettable memory.”

Big Upgrades Across the 2026 Lineup

Before we dive into the new X24, it’s worth noting that MasterCraft rolled out improvements across its entire lineup for 2026 (including the NXT, XT, X, and XStar series) designed to make every day on the water easier, louder, and more fun.

Smarter Tech Everywhere

• Keyless Digital Ignition – Forget fumbling for keys. A new touchscreen-enabled start/stop sequence modernizes the helm, adds enhanced security with “Sleep” and “Away” modes, and makes getting underway easier than ever.
• All-New Stern Thruster – Developed with Ilmor, the new stern thruster is standard on the XStar and available as an upgrade on the X and XT series. It improves low-speed maneuverability, integrates with onboard diagnostics, and doesn’t require an extra battery.
• Enhanced Lighting – New courtesy lighting and expanded RGB options improve visibility and vibe after dark.

Functional Upgrades

Thoughtful touches include an optional valuables drawer on XT models, upgraded onboard battery charger ports, higher-output alternators (6.2L & 6.2L SC engines), updated volume knobs, and new rear entry “Raccoon Door” access on mooring covers.

Cosmetic Refreshes

New gel and flake colors are now available to the entire fleet (Sierra Dune, Solstice, Granite Flake, Sapphire Blue Flake, Viridian Flake, and Golden Hour Flake) plus new vinyl and flooring options keep the lineup modern and let you dial in a look that’s uniquely yours.

Updated tower color options for Z6 and Z8 towers, plus new white M80 speaker cans expand personalization even further.

Meet the All-New 2026 X24

The undisputed star of MasterCraft’s 2026 fleet is the all-new X24, completely redesigned from the hull up for maximum power, precision, and presence. This is the first full refresh of this renowned model in nearly a decade. Every detail was reengineered to enhance its power, precision, and presence, and it’s a total game-changer for anyone serious about wakesports.

• Reengineered Hull for the Perfect Wake – The 2026 X24’s new running surface’s been fine-tuned to deliver cleaner wakes and more consistent waves for riders of all skill levels. It’s not just about better performance — handling and efficiency have also been improved, so you can carve, cruise, and surf with more confidence.
• Bigger Cockpit, Smarter Storage – Bring the whole crew and all the gear, the expanded cockpit makes life on board more comfortable, while the new transom storage system is ready for up to two boards per side. A removable, modular board bag system keeps everything organized and easy to grab when it’s go time.
• SoundStage Audio: Concert-Level Sound on the Water – Standard on the new X24 is SoundStage Audio Powered by Meridian, MasterCraft’s most advanced onboard sound system yet. Expect rich, immersive sound that fills the entire boat. And for surfers who want to push the party aft, the optional MAAX (MasterCraft Aft Audio Experience) takes transom sound to another level.
• All-New Z9 Power Tower – The redesigned Z9 Power Tower is more than just a bold visual statement, it’s standard equipment on the 2026 X24. Featuring powered functionality, integrated lighting, and a choice of heritage or premium bimini options, it’s built to look good and perform even better.
• A Modern Look That Commands Attention – From its bold new silhouette to the refined interior lines, the 2026 X24 doesn’t just perform, it turns heads. Whether you’re pulling into the dock or dropping the throttle, this is a boat built to make a statement.

Built for Wakeboarders, Surfers, and Skiers Alike

MasterCraft continues to prioritize the rider experience above all else. Every one of their boats is engineered with precision craftsmanship, intuitive controls, & a focus on on-water comfort.

But most importantly, they’re built to deliver the perfect pull for wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and skiing. That’s what’s made MasterCraft the go-to brand for water sports enthusiasts for decades.
