The 2025 Supra SA 400: Balance, Power, and Perfect Waves

When Supra set out to design the SA 400 for 2025, the goal was simple yet demanding: create a wake and surf boat that feels purpose-built for riders while offering every comfort and refinement possible for those onboard. The result is a 22.5-foot experience engineered to deliver precision handling, ideal surf waves, and an interior that feels more like a luxury lounge than a traditional towboat. It combines Supra’s deep heritage of innovation with a layout and performance profile that speak directly to what today’s riders and families need on the water.

Performance Foundation: The Power Behind the Ride

At the heart of the SA 400 lies Indmar’s Raptor 400, a 6.2-liter V8 drawing from Ford’s proven block, tuned specifically for wake sports. With 350 horsepower and a torque curve designed to deliver smooth low-end punch, this V-drive configuration provides the muscle—and precision—to shape massive wakes and surf waves while maintaining efficient fuel use at cruising speeds. This pairing of power and control allows every rider to find their ideal settings, from clean advanced wakes to playful beginner surf waves that maintain push all the way back.

The SA 400’s running surface was tested and refined for exact wave shaping and predictable handling. The unique bow-to-stern balance ensures confident maneuvering and smooth transitions, whether loaded with ballast or running light. Supra’s precision weight placement delivers even lift and consistent wave size, while its 8.5-foot beam maintains stability and comfort underway.

Surf and Wake Systems: Built for Consistency

The Supra Swell Surf System continues to be one of the most refined in the industry. With hull-integrated tabs and an intuitive control interface, you can shift waves from side to side in seconds—without repositioning the crew or redistributing gear. Whether you prefer a mellow surf-style wave or a steep, aggressive ride, the SA 400 gives you precision tuning on demand.

Backing this technology is AutoWake, Supra’s exclusive system that automatically monitors and adjusts ballast and pitch to preserve the perfect wave shape regardless of weight distribution or fuel load. It’s a feature that not only simplifies operation but ensures consistent performance every single time.

Design and Comfort: Purposeful and Premium

Inside, the SA 400 showcases the kind of craftsmanship that defines Supra’s modern lineup. Every line and texture combines functional design with high-end materials chosen for durability and comfort. Soft-touch vinyl, stainless grab points, LED courtesy lighting, and spacious storage throughout make life on board both relaxed and organized.

The cockpit layout emphasizes social flow—the transom walkthrough makes it easy to move from rear lounge to swim deck, while plush wraparound seating invites conversation between sets. A deep freeboard enhances safety and comfort even in choppier water, and the ergonomic helm design ensures that the driver experiences the same control and clarity that riders feel behind the boat.

Technology at Your Command

The helm station is anchored by the Vision Control display, Supra’s intuitive digital interface. With just a few taps, you can adjust ballast tanks, switch surf sides, monitor engine systems, or select from customizable user profiles. Beyond its surf and wake functions, the display integrates climate controls, lighting, stereo settings, and navigation data—all within easy reach of the wheel.

Paired with a premium sound system and multiple zones so everyone on board can find their perfect volume, the SA 400 keeps the energy right where it should be: on the water.

Lifestyle Integration: Designed for Real-World Use

Supra understands that a great surf or wake boat must also function effortlessly for everyday family fun. The SA 400’s intuitive layout supports everything from kids’ tubing sessions to relaxed cocktail cruises. Quick-access storage under nearly every seat ensures clean decks and easy preparation, while durable flooring and non-slip surfaces make cleanup fast at the end of the day.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, you’ll find this model featured at SouthTown Watersports—one of the region’s most trusted names in performance towboats. Their proximity to iconic Southeastern waterways like Lake Norman provides the perfect testing ground for the SA 400’s capabilities, from glassy slalom mornings to surf-filled afternoons.

Engineering Confidence: Build Quality and Craftsmanship

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Supra’s construction methods show the brand’s dedication to durability. High-strength composite stringers eliminate wood from the structure, reducing weight and long-term maintenance while improving overall rigidity. The deep gelcoat finish resists UV fading, and hardware throughout is marine-grade stainless steel. Every stitch, hinge, and weld speaks to long-lasting performance and easy ownership.

Interior Experience: Comfort and Connection

From the first step onboard, the SA 400 prioritizes connection—between driver and rider, between crew and environment. Spacious seating for 16 ensures every guest finds their place without feeling crowded. Multiple convertible seats allow quick shifts between lounging, spotting, or facing the action.

Lighting plays a functional and aesthetic role; new accent lighting options create an ambient nighttime glow, and storage areas are illuminated for easy access. Combined with improved ventilation and integrated charging ports, you’ll feel the sophistication of a thoughtfully designed boat that blends convenience and purpose seamlessly.

Sound and Entertainment

No wake day is complete without music. The SA 400 integrates an upgraded audio system engineered for clarity even at speed. Marine-grade speakers and amplifiers are tuned to project clean sound across deck and swim platform, so whether you’re the rider or the observer, the experience stays immersive. Configurable equalization profiles allow the volume to balance between interior and tower zones—important for riders who want crisp sound without overpowering conversation onboard.

Handling and Driving Feel

While wakeboarding and surfing performance define the SA 400’s identity, its handling might surprise even seasoned drivers. The responsive helm and predictive tracking let the boat cut smoothly through turns and reliably hold line tension for riders. Supra’s adaptive ballast management ensures balance when fueled or loaded heavy, minimizing bow rise and improving visibility.

A draft of just 2.3 feet adds flexibility, letting you access shallower coves or marinas without worry. Whether you’re docking, towing, or running full ballast, the boat feels composed and intuitive—an achievement that reflects years of iterative hull refinement.

Why the SA 400 Stands Out

At 22.5 feet, the SA 400’s size might suggest middle-ground comfort, but its presence on the water feels much larger. The wide beam and deep freeboard give the appearance and security of a premium-class boat. Its 16-passenger rating opens opportunities for group sessions or family gatherings without sacrificing performance or space.

Each technological feature—AutoWake, Swell Surf, Vision Control—contributes to consistent results rather than just marketing numbers. Riders can finish a session knowing their wave will repeat precisely the next time, no matter who’s driving or how many passengers are aboard.

Local Connection: SouthTown Watersports and the Supra Experience

Located in Charlotte, SouthTown Watersports has built its name by supporting riders and families who rely on quality towboats all summer long. They provide direct access to demonstration opportunities and in-depth walkthroughs, helping buyers experience the SA 400’s setup firsthand. Local technicians trained by Supra maintain the highest standards of service, ensuring that your ownership journey is as rewarding as your time behind the boat.

Charlotte’s combination of nearby lakes—particularly Lake Norman—makes it an ideal place to explore what this model can do. Expansive stretches of smooth water and long no-wake zones complement the SA 400’s balance of agility and wave creation. SouthTown’s local insight ensures you can fine-tune your surf settings and ballast distribution specifically for local water conditions.

Sustainability and Efficiency

With modern fuel management and efficient transmission geometry, the SA 400 consumes less fuel per rider session than older-gen wake boats of similar size. Indmar’s closed-loop cooling and emissions compliance not only improve reliability but minimize environmental impact. Reduced maintenance cycles add practicality to owning a high-performance towboat in busy seasons.

Owning the Experience
