Tigé Shakes Up Towboat Market with 2026 Model Range

Tigé Boats has unveiled its 2026 model lineup featuring major changes across every boat in the fleet.

The new lineup features design breakthroughs, cutting-edge performance technologies, and a host of new features and options. The Abilene, Texas boatbuilder is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

"With five new models to be released throughout this model year and major enhancements across our entire fleet, 2026 is shaping up to be our strongest and most innovative year yet," said Charlie Pigeon, Owner and Founder of Tigé Boats, in a press release.

"The 2026 lineup is our direct response to conversations with customers and dealers—and a reflection of our commitment to delivering industry-leading innovation and the ultimate boating experience. I'm incredibly proud of our team's forward-thinking approach—this level of transformation across our entire fleet is only possible because of their determination and dedication.

2026 Ultré ZX Class Enhancements

Tigé has enhanced its flagship Ultré ZX class for 2026 with new technology and design elements including:

Ultré Powered Tower

The all-new Ultré Powered Tower delivers unprecedented versatility, strength, and style. Cruise with it up, lower it down, or position it anywhere in between while driving or towing watersports. Exclusive industry-first innovations like clip-in board bags, life jacket hangers, and multiple tow points are seamlessly integrated into the tower structure.

Ultré Smart Wheel

The Ultré Smart Wheel puts absolute control at your fingertips with twelve quick-function controls built directly into the steering wheel, empowering you to adjust cruise, surf systems, audio, and more without ever taking your hands off the wheel.

Next-Level Ultré Accent Lighting

The new Ultré Accent Lighting takes it to the next level. This advanced lighting system creates stunning dynamic effects throughout the cockpit, featuring unlimited solid colors, custom gradients, and programmable sequences.

Advanced Helm Design

In addition to the Ultré Smart Wheel, comprehensive helm refinements include new premium molding for a refined luxury finish, a conveniently placed audio volume knob below the CLEAR Horizon touch screen for effortless volume adjustments, and dual Ultré Tower controls for enhanced functionality.

Signature Premium Styling

The Ultré ZX showcases exclusive new interior quilting and stitching patterns, along with premium billet color packages and chromax accents that deliver unlimited customization possibilities.

Fleet-Wide Enhancements

Tigé's significant model year update extends across every boat in the 2026 lineup. Ten new gelcoat colors, five premium vinyl options — including three luxury linens — and fresh non-skid selections provide endless personalization opportunities.

Advanced technological improvements include a new seamlessly integrated keyless ignition, which is now built into the CLEAR Horizon touchscreen. The innovative Alpha E4 Powered Tower, which debuted with the Z3 model earlier this year, represents everything Tigé has become—stronger, smarter, and more dynamic than ever before.
