Nautique vs MasterCraft: Choosing a Used Wake Boat in Hong Kong

The short answer: Sun Yachts currently lists (as of 2026-10-27) 5 US-built wake boats, 3 Nautique (HK$1,100,000–1,580,000) and 2 MasterCraft (HK$880,000–930,000), all 2021–2023 model years and all listed for 12 people. We do not rank the two brands; we only say what to look at when buying one. Price, engine and hours are in the tables below. Where you can wake-sport in Hong Kong, berthing, and any towing or licensing requirements fall under Marine Department regulations and should be confirmed with the Marine Department.

Everything below comes from the Sun Yachts listing data as of 2026-10-27, quoted as listed. The table gives full details for 4 of the 5; the count and price statistics for all 5 follow it.

Source: Sun Yachts stock listings (as of 2026-10-27). Beam: both Super Air G23s and the NXT24 list 8.49 ft / 2.59 m; the NXT22 lists 8.13 ft / 2.48 m. All 5 list USA as origin and 12 as passenger capacity.

By brand (all 5 boats):

Across all 5: median asking price HK$1,100,000, mean about HK$1,168,000 (all 5 carry a price, none is price on request).

How to read this: the sample is only 5 boats, and the three Nautiques differ in year, model and engine, so this describes the stock, not either brand's overall price level.

Manufacturer background (checked against public sources):

• Nautique: a Correct Craft brand, headquartered in Orlando, Florida. Sources: Wikipedia: Nautique Boats; the Correct Craft site lists the Nautique Boats brand (correctcraft.com).
• MasterCraft: a US builder, founded in 1968 in Maryville, Tennessee, now headquartered in Vonore, Tennessee. Source: Wikipedia: MasterCraft.
• Wake surf systems: Nautique's is called the Nautique Surf System (NSS) (Wikipedia); MasterCraft's home page mentions its own SurfStar system (mastercraft.com). We do not describe how either works or their specifications; what a particular boat is actually fitted with is for the seller to confirm.

What follows is a guide to usage, not a ranking or a manufacturer specification:

• Tighter budget, a smaller wake boat: the two MasterCraft boats in stock (NXT22 at HK$880,000 and NXT24 at HK$930,000) carry the lower asking prices, with 179 and 328 hours.
• Low hours: the 2022 Nautique Super Air G23 lists only 140 hours, the lowest in the table above, at HK$1,350,000.
• A diesel engine: see the 2021 Super Air G23 (Diesel) below.

As listed: 2021 model year, "(Diesel)" in the name, engine 1 x YANMAR 370HP, 1086 hours, asking HK$1,580,000. The same model in 2022 (1 x ZZ6 450hp, 140 hours) is HK$1,350,000. Neither listing mentions service records, so:

• 1086 hours is the highest in the table above. How to read hours depends on the service records and a survey; see our engine hours guide and pre-purchase survey guide.
• For the configuration details of the diesel version compared with other G23s, please ask the seller.

If you are not set on a wake boat, these are smaller boats in the listing data at similar or lower prices:

Source: Sun Yachts stock listings (as of 2026-10-27). These are cruiser-type smaller boats, not built for wake sports; they are here only to show what a similar budget can buy. For more affordable options see boats under HK$500,000; stock under HK$1M is at /yachts/price/under-1m and HK$1–3M at /yachts/price/1m-3m.

All three points below fall under the Marine Department or related regulations. We do not guess; please ask the Marine Department:

• Where wakeboarding or wake surfing is allowed, and any water-area restrictions, should be confirmed with the Marine Department.
• For berthing, see the Sai Kung berthing guide or WhatsApp us.
• Operator licensing and towing safety requirements should be confirmed with the Marine Department.
