Tigé Boats has introduced the latest iteration of its flagship Z3, creating a fully reimagined version of one of its most successful and enduring models.

As the third generation of the Z3, the new platform represents a leap forward in design, engineering, and innovation, building on more than 15 years of adventure since the model’s original debut. The design will features Tige's renowned ConvexV hull shape with 29" of draught and 2'11"

The new Z3 will carry an LOA of 23'5" with a 8'6" beam. She will have a dry weight of 5350 lbs and 3750 lbs of ballast. The Z3 also boasts a 75 gallon (280 L) fuel tank and seating for up to 16 guests.

"The Z3 is one of our all-time best-selling models, and as a family-owned company, legacy is incredibly important to us," said Charlie Pigeon, owner and founder of Tigé Boats in a press release.

"We are excited to continue the Z3's legacy with a fresh design and innovations that raise the bar once again. This boat represents our commitment to past, current, and future owners who trust Tigé to deliver the ultimate on-water experience."

Carrying forward the legacy of the original design that was part of the initial wakesurf movement, the Z3 features aggressive new styling, cutting-edge technology, and a sleek, modern aesthetic.

The Z3 will be powered by the company's intuitive GO System with TAPS 3T which delivers precise, high-performance capability across a range of watersports like wakesurfing, wakeboarding, foiling, and waterskiing.

The 2026 Z3 will showcase substantial upgrades throughout every section of the boat.
