2026 MasterCraft X24
Step aboard the MasterCraft X24 and you’re struck by the bold, balanced aesthetic—aggressive without being overdone, merging modernity with MasterCraft’s classic sheerline. The interior continues this high-end look with sculpted lines that flow seamlessly, accented by unique stitching patterns that display craftsmanship. In fact, we can’t recall cushioning and upholstery that matches the kind of comfort and luxury we noted aboard the 2026 X24.

Subtleties truly set the MasterCraft X24 apart: integrated armrests that cradle your forearms just so, wireless chargers positioned exactly where you’d want them, and contoured seating that supports in all the right places. All-new for 2026 is a thoughtfully placed touchscreen adjacent to the observer seat—no more twisting around to access dash controls. This gives easy command over audio, lighting, and more.
At the helm, there’s a 15-inch panoramic screen flanked by a vertically mounted 12-inch touchscreen.

The transom boasts two over-sized lounge seats that might become the most coveted real estate on the water. Beneath these lounges lies an ingenious board-storage system. Just lift the seat from the swim platform and slide your board into its designated pocket—or remove the sleeve entirely for transport elsewhere.
At the helm, find dual displays: a 15-inch panoramic screen flanked by a vertically mounted 12-inch touchscreen. The operating system mirrors the boat itself—clean, intuitive, with finger-tap presets for any watersports configuration you might desire. For those of us who appreciate redundancy on the water, the rotary command dial and adjacent stereo knob provide tactile control alternatives.

The all-new running surface delivers pro-level wakes and waves that remain clean and consistent regardless of conditions—endlessly customizable for riders of all skill levels. Topping it all off is the redesigned Z9 tower, which not only complements the X24’s aesthetic but offers practical functionality with quick lowering capability and an actuator-mounted Bimini that maintains level positioning throughout. The Meridian speakers throughout blast clear, crisp sound that further elevates an already exceptional on-water experience.
