Wakeboat ballast compartment fluid level sensing assemblies are provided that can include: a wakeboat having a hull; a ballast compartment associated with the hull; a nonconductive sensor chamber in fluidic communication with the ballast compartment; and at least two conductive electrodes associated with the nonconductive sensor chamber, wherein at least one of the two conductive electrodes is electrically isolated from fluid within the nonconductive sensor chamber. Methods for sensing a fluid level within a ballast compartment aboard a wakeboat are also provided. The methods can include maintaining fluid communication between the ballast compartment and a nonconductive sensor chamber having fluid therein, and determining the electrical communication between at least two electrodes operatively associated with the sensor chamber while at least one of the electrodes is electrically isolated from the fluid within the sensor chamber.
