2026 Supra SA 550 new

The 2026 Supra SA 550 from STWS is one of the most compelling 25-foot surf and wake boats on the market right now, and seeing one in person at Southtown Watersports in Charlotte, NC makes that case even more convincingly. Built on Supra’s proven V-drive platform, the SA 550 delivers the kind of deep, clean wave that serious surfers chase, while still throwing a wake that wakeboarders and wakeskaters will appreciate on every run. At 25.5 feet, it has the hull volume to push serious water without feeling sluggish or heavy to drive, a balance that shorter boats struggle to find.

The blacked-out aesthetic on this particular build is striking. The hull runs in Supra’s signature black with matching black graphics, a black tower with accent color to match, and a stainless steel rubrail finished in black as well. The overall effect is sharp and intentional, the kind of look that photographs well and turns heads at the dock without trying too hard. Inside, the Pecan Fresco “Chill Tech” upholstery inserts bring warmth to the dark theme, pairing with a two-layer Toffee and Black nonskid deck surface that adds texture and visual contrast underfoot.

Comfort on the water goes beyond looks, though. The interior wash down system makes cleanup after a long day on the lake genuinely easy, which matters more than people expect when you’re running multiple sessions and want the boat looking clean for the next one. The black boat cover fits over the tower in its down position, protecting the cockpit and upholstery between uses, and the shipping cover adds another layer of protection during transport or storage. These aren’t afterthought additions; they reflect how Supra thinks about long-term ownership.

The SA 550 runs a V-drive configuration, which positions the engine weight toward the rear of the hull and helps generate that characteristic steep, powerful surf wave Supra is known for. Combined with Supra’s Classic spray pattern and the forward and midship accent trim in matching black, the boat carries a cohesive design language from bow to stern. The free floor layout in the interior gives you flexibility for seating configurations, and the overall cockpit space on a 25.5-foot hull means you can bring the whole crew without anyone feeling cramped.

Southtown Watersports has been serving the Charlotte area and the surrounding lake communities for years, and their team knows these boats inside and out. Whether you’re on Lake Norman, Lake Wylie, or making the run to Badin Lake, the SA 550 is built to perform on the kinds of water you’ll actually be riding. If you’ve been considering stepping into a larger surf boat or upgrading from an older platform, this 2026 SA 550 represents exactly the kind of boat that rewards that decision every single time you’re out on the water.
