The wakesurf king on the Danube
The Super Air Nautique G23 is the highest tier of the watersport world — and the only boat of its kind on the Danube. American engineering, more than 70 years of waterski and wakeboard heritage, and the unique NSS™ Nautique Surf System available exclusively on Nautique boats. When riders fly in from Vienna, Munich or Prague to wakesurf in Budapest, they come specifically for this boat. The G23 isn’t just a wakesurf boat — it’s a complete watersport platform optimised for premium private bookings, professional wakesurf lessons, family days, corporate events, and naturally sunset cruises and city sightseeing too.

What the G23 offers — the NSS™ ballast system
The G23 isn’t just carrying more ballast water than traditional boats — the Nautique Surf System (NSS™) lets the captain control the distribution of the ballast tanks from the helm with a single switch. This means an 8-year-old (small, beginner-friendly wave) and a pro rider (steep competition swell) can comfortably ride the same boat — the ballast weight and wave character can change in seconds.
The 1380+ kg factory Hydrogate ballast is well above the market average — many competition-grade boats only have 700-900 kg. The G23 can also be fitted with extra ballast bags for steeper, pro-level waves — useful for trick training or competition prep. Read more on the ballast system page.
