Monterey Boats proudly introduces the all-new Elite 34, the newest flagship of its award-winning Elite Series and the next major step in the continued expansion of the lineup. Building on the rapid market adoption of the Elite Series, the Elite 34 brings the design, performance and versatility that have defined Elite to an entirely new class of boat.

The introduction of the Elite 34 expands the Elite Series from 23 to 34 feet, giving Monterey customers the opportunity to move through the lineup while maintaining the distinctive experience that defines the Elite name. The Elite family will continue to grow with the addition of the Elite 38.

More importantly, the expansion follows what the market is already showing. The Elite Series delivered more than 20x year-over-year growth in registrations in 2025, with the Elite 30 ranking #1 and the Elite 27 Outboard ranking #2 within the 25–30-foot outboard segment. Combined with strong dealer sell-through and continued consumer demand, the results demonstrate that Elite is not simply introducing a different style of boat—the series is quickly helping define a new way consumers want to experience boating.

“The Elite 34 is the new flagship of the Elite Series and an important representation of where we’re taking the line,” said Charles Marshall, Co-Chairman of Monterey Boats. “When we began developing Elite, we believed boating was changing and that today’s owner was looking for something different. The response from the market has validated that direction. Consumers want performance and capability, but they also want comfort, technology, versatility and a boat designed around how they actually spend their time on the water. The Elite 34 takes everything to the next level.”

At 34 feet in hull length with a 10’6″ beam, the Elite 34 delivers the increased space, capability and presence expected from Monterey’s newest flagship. With a 320-gallon fuel capacity and up to 850 horsepower available, the Elite 34 combines substantial performance capability with the luxury, comfort and versatility that have become hallmarks of the Elite Series.

The Elite 34 builds on a platform that has already received significant recognition from both the marine industry and consumers. The Elite 30 earned a rare combination of three major industry honors—Boating Magazine’s Boat of the Year, the Miami Innovation Award and Boating Industry’s Top Product award—recognizing the design, engineering and performance behind the Elite concept.

That early industry recognition has now been followed by measurable consumer adoption, providing Monterey with the foundation to expand Elite across a much broader range of sizes and boating experiences.

The Elite 34 brings greater scale throughout the boat, with expansive entertaining and seating areas, refined appointments, a luxurious cabin and an elevated helm designed around comfort and control. Its larger platform provides owners with greater capability and flexibility while maintaining the performance-focused character at the heart of the Elite Series.

“The market is telling us very clearly that consumers are responding to the Elite,” said Kim Loenichen, Vice President of Sales. “We’re seeing that response reflected in retail performance, dealer demand and the feedback we continue to receive from retail customers. The new Elite 34 allows us to build on what has already proven successful and bring that experience to the customers looking for more size, greater capability and more time on the water”.

The new flagship represents another milestone in Monterey’s broader vision for the Elite family, with models now spanning from the Elite 23 to the Elite 34 and the Elite 38 to follow. Monterey continues to build the Elite Series into a complete premium lineup designed around the way today’s consumers want to boat.

Boaters attending the Atlantic City and Annapolis boat shows will have an exclusive opportunity to be among the first to experience the all-new Monterey Elite 34 ahead of its official debut at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 28–November 1, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
