Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Mastercraft XT24: a 24' wakesurf platform

The Ultimate Wakesurf Boat is the Mastercraft XT24 — 24 feet long with an 8.5' beam, a 6.2 L V‑8 430 HP engine and on‑board ballast (Fat Sacks) to shape a rideable wake.

THE WAKE

Built for wakesurfing, wakeboarding and tubing

The boat is equipped to support towed water sports — Fat Sacks provide the ballast to tune the wake and surf behind the boat for riders of differing preferences.

GROUP RIDE

Bring a crowd or keep it tight

With seating for up to 13 passengers, the XT24 accommodates large groups for a day on the water while still delivering the power and ballast needed for quality wakes.

What the day feels like

Launch from Tahoe Keys Marina and spend the day running sets on Lake Tahoe: dial in ballast with the Fat Sacks, let the XT24 build a surfable wake for riders, switch to wakeboarding or tubing as the group rotates, and return to the marina after a block of hours—reservations are commonly made in multi‑hour increments to allow full sessions on the water.
