Whether stopping me to talk at an event, sending an email or a Facebook message, or calling, people love to talk about their Nautique boats! Recently I received the below email from the owner of a new Super Air Nautique G23: "Hi Bill, I've returned from my first day using my new ...

This year's competition was the best ever. The Super Air Nautique G23 kicked up massive wakes for the competitors. One after another they came up to me and shared how much they loved competing behind this amazing boat. Many competitors were able to perform new tricks and have their...

There is an excitement in the air as the boating season approaches! Many of you join me in this excitement and some of you are thinking about a new boat for the upcoming season. In fact, a very high percentage of boats sold each year are sold in the next few months. So, as you consider a boat for this coming sum...

It is in Melbourne, Australia and called the Moomba Masters. The Moomba Masters, with its US sister The Masters, are the two most prestigious events in our industry. Athletes and spectators travel from all over the world to watch and compete in these events and they are never disappointed. The US and Moo...

Nautique dealers in North America, Europe and the Middle East have all been reporting packed booths with people from all over the world coming in to see the new Nautique G-Series and the new patent pending Nautique Surf ...

Last year Nautique was voted as having the industry's "Most Innovative Product" and the NSS once again proves why. It is amazing! First, a little history. For as long as I can remember boat manufacturers have been putting devices on the transom of bo...

This award is a pretty good sign that we have a great and creative team. It also builds expectations for further innovation. Today our team introduced the new Nautique Surf System (NSS) with WAVEPLATE technology, which is available on all of our 2013 Super Air Nautique models. It ...

We have great new product, increasing market share, and we were named Manufacturer of the Year. Oh, we were also voted by the industry as having the Most Innovative Product. Not a bad year...

Ralph Meloon is one of those people. Ralph turns 95 this weekend and what a life he has lived! Ralph was at Correct Craft from the company's very beginning 87 years ago and still shows up for work every day.

Our "Reveal" party was packed and so many people tried to watch online that it crashed both the webcast and our Nautique website.
