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.

Immersive Cabin Ambience

These vibrant LED accents glow from inside each drink holder, a total of 21 in this boat!
