Nautique Paragon G25 Video Review: The 100 Year Anniversary Edition
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough6 min read
The Paragon G25 is Nautique's flagship wake boat, and this is the 2025 edition marking 100 years of the brand. We walked her in Miami and watched pro riders surf behind her. She has a swim platform, an aft seat that lifts into a bigger lounge, board storage like a filing cabinet, subwoofers inside the hull, a tower that folds down, custom helm screens with wake modes and a bow lounge you can reconfigure.
Built for the surfer and the crew
The Paragon G25 thinks about everyone on board and behind it. Riders get in-hull subwoofers, a wake they can shape from a remote and a GoPro mount that follows them. Guests get lounges that move, phone chargers that hold the phone in place and RGB lit cup holders. The anniversary edition adds unique touches like a 100 years badge with a world map hidden inside the zeros.
