Effortless Maneuvering: Pilot Pro System™ in Action

The Varatti Pilot Pro System™ is a game-changer in boat control. This intuitive joystick replaces limited throttle controls and underpowered stern thrusters. Then by rotating the joystick either clockwise or counter clockwise you will be able to turn on a dime! When it comes to  tight navigation, this a drivers best friend. It’s especially beneficial for picking up fallen riders, docking, launching, and navigating tight spaces with precision. “This is thing is very responsive, I’m loving it.” Sean notes.

Precision Docking & Launching

With bow and stern thrusters integrated into the main drive, you can maintain exact positioning and heading—even in wind or current. This means less stress, fewer docking bumps, and confident, anxiety-free boating.

Catch Every Wave: No-Throw Surf System

The No-Throw Surf System revolutionizes the wake-surfing experience by eliminating the need to throw or retrieve the rope manually. This innovative system keeps the rope handle within easy reach, allowing surfers to grab it effortlessly and start their ride without hassle. “It’s a game-changer for both safety and convenience,” Sean remarks. This completely eliminates the hassle of the crew being involved in picking up riders and removes all risk of rope dangers.

How No-Throw’s Rope-Handling Tech Works

The system features a tower-mounted boom that suspends the rope when you drop it and effortlessly delivers it to the fallen rider without crew involvement. Say goodbye to tangled ropes and say hello to more uninterrupted lake days. With the No-Throw Surf System, you can kick back and enjoy your time on the water worry-free. The rope is covered, extreme convenience and you won’t remember how you handled old school rope throwing.

Lighting the Night: Liquid Lumens Pipeline LEDs

As dusk fell, Liquid Lumens’ Pipeline Underwater LEDs transformed the  Varatti into a glow-in-the-dark spectacle. Leave boring nights behind—Pipeline underwater lighting turns the lake into a vivid, color-rich experience that transforms the sunset session into a full-blown spectacle. Here are just how intense these are:

  • Voltage Input Range: 11–15V
  • Max Amperage Draw: 7.2A (Fuse: 10A)
  • Max Wattage: 79.2 Watts
  • Beam Angle: 60° lens spread
  • Dimensions: 4.1” wide × 3” long
  • Total LED Count: 68 high-intensity LEDs
  • Internal Voltage Boosting: No external driver box required
  • Thermal Smart Dimming: Auto-dims when overheated or wired improperly
  • Sync Kit Compatibility: Works with any RGB sync system
  • Lighting Modes: Color changing & light flashing modes*

Immersive Cabin Ambience

Inside the cabin, Varatti’s Mood Master™ LED zones set the tone, but Premier Marine had the upgrade with the Liquid Lumens cup holder rings that took the experience to the next level. These vibrant LED accents glow from inside each drink holder, a total of 21 in this boat! The added a splash of color and mood lighting that made the after-dark cruise feel like a private lounge on the water. Designed to sync with the Varatti Mood Master system and the Rockford Fosgate RGB speakers, the result, a literal electric vibe.

Utah’s Exclusive Varatti Partner: Premier Marine

All of this took place at Premier Marine in Orem, Utah—Varatti’s official state dealer. Their expert captains and full Varatti fleet make booking a session a must if you’re in the market for a new boat. Nobody knows wake surfing in Utah like Premier Marine.

From joystick control with Pilot Pro™, to the rope-free ease of the No Throw, to the glow of Liquid Lumens LEDs, the setup didn’t just perform, it flexed. If you’re serious about wake surfing, you owe it to yourself to experience this beast in person. Book your demo with Premier Marine in Orem and see what all the hype is about.
