Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Room, power and a tow tower

Built to hold a group and carry gear, the Glastron seats up to 11 passengers (9–10 comfortable) and is driven by a 5.0L, 280‑HP engine with a tower—ideal for sustained speed and towing watersports rigs.

THE WAKE

Bigger wake, bigger tricks

The larger hull generates a larger wake, providing a stronger kick for wakeboarding or tubing—benefits that make the Glastron a go‑to for riders who want a pronounced wake.

THE GROUP RIDE

Comfortable for families and crews

With extra space in the cockpit and a sturdy ride, this model suits larger groups and people seeking more room when cruising or staging watersports sessions.
