Some 154 skiers from around the world gathered in Macquarie Harbor in Strahan on the west coast of Tasmania for the record attempt, though nine of them failed in making the attempt. The skiers needed to stay upright for a full nautical mile in order to qualify for the record books.
This beats the previous world record of 114 people being pulled by the single boat. That world record was set by the same team in the same place two years ago.
The youngest entrant, Alexandria Seaton, was just 12 years old.
The 3,000 horsepower craft was fitted with different propellers and a 308ft-long aluminium boom to prevent the skiers' ropes from tangling. The record is expected to be confirmed by Guinness World Records officials, who witnessed the event, in the coming weeks.
