Here is a selection of magazine reviews:

 

Wakeboard and Waterski:

“The Sportique XLS is an all round boat but caters for each discipline excellently. It does everything so well and has the advantage of being built in this country. Normally when something is described as “an all rounder” it’s implied that it does most things well, but doesn’t excel at anything. DO NOT make that mistake with the XLS, THIS BOAT EXCELS IN ALL DEPARTMENTS…”

“you have the ability to get a “one off”, individual boat which is to your taste and is different from all the rest.”

 

Waterski and Wakeboard

“We are now pleased to tell you that the very popular UK boat builders Sportique have been awarded the contract to supply Sportique Boats to Mark Warner Holidays for all their waterski sites worldwide. Here you see some of the Sportique boats prepared in ivory and Mark Warner blue ready to be container loaded for onward shipment to Greece. All the Sportiques are being supplied with training bars, and because of continued popularity with wakeboarding, wakeboard poles are being fitted to all their boats.

You can now have the confidence to book your holiday knowing you will be well catered for at an approved British Water Ski site being towed by one of the best UK boats.”

 

“Visibility for driving is good”   

“Low wakes: no evident plume”  

“Well designed; make an excellent boat for trick events”  

“Sportique, more readily affordable and not at all disappointing”  

"The boat was quiet, powerful, responsive and easy to handle"

"There was minimal side spray which proved ideal training boom conditions"  

 

 

 Sportsboat and Rib

“the XLS has taken three years of painstaking research to achieve the unbelievable wake pattern that it produces”

“These boats are the opposite of compromise – specialisation.“

“At last, there is a British built tournament class ski boat that has brought ski tow hulls to a new level.”

"at around three gallons per hour at skiing speed it is hardly going to break the bank running on petrol"

"A budget ski boat to tournament configuration"  

“If you are desperate for the advantages of EFI in a new ski boat, then it will not come cheaper than the Sportique”  

 

 

Waterski International

“This craft is making a name for itself as a small affordable tournament ski boat with the performance to match the big boys"  

"Gets better every time we test it: we recommend it without hesitation"
