Calabria Ski Boats Review

Calabria Ski Boats offers an affordable array of competition-ready ski boats that converge safety, comfort, and performance into a dependable package.

These craft aren’t exclusively sportsters, yet each pack a suitable amount of power under the hood. The boats come with a number of party-ready options, and each one can be ordered with a custom gelcoat painted to one's specifications. If unsatisfied with the feature set on any of the Calabria ski boats available at a local dealer, a customer can work with the manufacturer to order a specialized boat.

Calabria’s models represent an impressive variety, one which will likely meet the requirements of most enthusiasts. The introductory model is the Team V, a deceptively large craft at 23 feet that can hold up to 15 passengers while still reserving 55 cubic feet for storage space. There’s considerable power to match the spaciousness—a 330hp MercCruiser Black Scorpion engine ensures impressive speed. The deck is straightforward with few frills, but the design makes for easy cleaning. The gravity fed, pump-less ballast system will reduce the maintenance required, as well.

More involved is Calabria’s high-end model, the Cal Air, which features an impressive stainless steel tower and a super fast, high capacity ballast system sure to make skiing and wakeboarding is easy and fun. Removable seats and a convenient storage layout make the boat a great option for both leisure and sport.
