Redefining Recreation

Our recreation segment consists of exciting, agile and playful WaveRunners with enormous appeal that are sure to appeal to and delight a wider audience. The leisure segment seduces users, from inexperienced novices who are just now opening the world of PWCs, to free-spirited sports enthusiasts, to action on the water.

New JetBlaster® – Free Your Mind

The all-new JetBlaster® gives the recreational sector a new dimension. The uncompromising build quality, innovative engineering and unique features you would expect on a GP model are now within the reach of many more buyers. While the JetBlaster® is the ultimate one-person machine, it's actually a three-person machine, with storage as standard and a generous fuel tank that allows for long trips, which you wouldn't normally expect from this type of vessel.

Technology of the highest caliber

The JetBlaster® is powered by the award-winning, lightweight 4-stroke TR-1®-HO engine. This engine is a powerhouse that makes cruising a huge pleasure for even the most adventurous, pampered thrill-seekers. Combined with the NanoXcel2 hull, that engine delivers performance typically only found on top-class racing machines. This means that the JetBlaster® has a fantastic power-to-weight ratio, enabling incredible boating sensations and a dynamic, exciting and memorable experience for all types of water sports.

The JetBlaster® is a beast not only in terms of its fantastic engine but also because of the hull which is made of the latest materials. This hull has been specifically designed to support users of all experience levels, quickly giving them the confidence and skill to enjoy riding the JetBlaster. The all-new electronic trim system makes it easy to adjust the bow height when there is a lot of splash and water resistance, furthermore, it is easier to cut corners when the bow is deeper in the water. The RiDE® control system with electronic reverse makes for easier operation and all-new foot blocks allow novices to easily adjust their position for a carefree, enjoyable ride.

Superiority as standard

While you'll have a great experience on your own on the JetBlaster®, you can also take two more passengers with you if you'd like. And that's not the only thing that makes it enjoyable. A hefty fuel tank will allow you to sail for longer, and the storage areas can accommodate everything you need, from your tow line to your sunglasses.

Add luxurious details such as a cushioned step and custom-cut deck mats, plus an adjustable, curved handlebar with rounded grips for a hyper-connected ride and you've got a WaveRunner that will turn heads, for beginners and experienced users alike. a pleasure to sail with.

Bringing our heritage home

The JetBlaster® is a modern take on the legendary WaveBlaster, staying true to retro style and exciting boating style, but reimagined for today's target audience.

While the WaveBlaster requires you to be very athletic and skilled to get the most out of this machine, the JetBlaster® also gives this performance-oriented feel, but is also suitable for less experienced operators. Aside from the smart technology that makes it easier for more drivers to make more advanced maneuvers, this WaveRunner also has features that make this craft more versatile, highly steerable at all speeds, cruising longer and with a storage area for your wallet, drinks and snacks. It's a very attractive entry-level model that feels like something much better than you'd expect from a recreational PWC.

Cruising with class

Our cruising segment appeals to riders who want to enjoy both worlds. From relaxed days with gentle cruises on calm waters to exciting high-speed races over the waves with water splashing on your skin and the wind in your hair. We have it all.

FX: The flagship at the forefront of innovation

The WaveRunners FX family features refined and advanced features. This model is unsurpassed in stability, even with three people and with the most capable hull for cruising adventures, the perfect choice for those who demand a top-class finish and uncompromising comfort.

Everything about the FX range is designed to make life easier and more enjoyable, offering the ultimate in luxury and style. All FX models allow users to explore the two different sides of their craft, the adrenaline-pumping raw power and speed or a more refined and smooth touring experience.

The user features of these models have been improved, such as an external exhaust point, easy-to-reach wet storage in the stern and a gas spring assisted stowage compartment in the bow.

Better connected for more comfort and convenience

The FX Series Connext® display has been significantly improved, with a new larger 7-inch color touchscreen on SVHO® models and integrated touchscreen audio controls on select Cruiser models. Models with audio have a smartphone link so that hands-free calling and the driver can make phone calls and listen to music, while his or her smartphone is safely stowed.

The Connext® system is suitable for GPS maps with geo-fencing. GPS maps must be purchased separately and are available from Yamaha WaveRunner dealers.

With the optional GPS map installed, the operator can add and track GPS waypoints, record routes and navigate, and define the cruising area where the operator intends to navigate the vessel. When geo-fencing is activated, the distance from the edge of the area to the center of the area can be defined so that a warning signal sounds when the driver moves outside that area.

The storage compartment is larger and has a light which makes finding things easier. In addition, the storage compartment has a 12V socket and a USB port with which you can charge and connect your devices.

Rediscover your cruise

Finally, the FX range now features enhanced control features, including a multi-mode Auto Trim system and incremental top speed limits controlled by the touchscreen.

A new standing area and improved stabilizing fins provide additional comfort for both drivers and passengers by reducing splashing water at the bow. Ergonomics have also been improved, with a better layout of the switches on the handlebars and mounting points just below the handlebars.

Leading technology

The VX is powered by our innovative three-cylinder engine, the 1.049cc High Output TR-1. This compact and lightweight power unit brims with energy and offers blazing acceleration and great power at top speed, superior handling, is incredibly agile and balanced.

The VX Cruiser HO is powered by the largest-capacity WaveRunner engine ever, the four-cylinder 1.812cc High Output TR-1 engine. This engine delivers great thrust and top speed for exhilarating long-haul cruises and exploratory tours.

Super smart technology

The VX range is characterized by the exclusive, revolutionary and intuitive RiDE system, which not only transforms the boating experience through an initial, truly intuitive operation, but also benefits from electronic reverse with traction control.

The unique Connext multifunction steering system with its stylish, accurate and easy to read 4,3-inch color screen is state-of-the-art. And we haven't forgotten the drivers' favorite technology; dual multi-mount terminals conveniently placed for navigation equipment, cameras or other devices.

Audio is standard on select versions of the VX Cruiser HO, with a fully integrated factory-installed Bluetooth sound system. The speakers are ideally placed in the footwells and are controlled from an easily accessible panel on the handlebar.

Sporting superiority

Our sports segment is intended for those who want to push themselves to the limit. Whether they sail to excel at racing or for the adrenaline, they enjoy the ultimate in power and performance, inspired by Yamaha's racing DNA.

GP: Power and precision perfected

The Yamaha GP1800R SVHO supercharged and naturally aspirated GP1800R HO feature the industry's first automatic trim system with Cornering Control and Launch Control. Cornering Control automatically adjusts trim for extra grip and slows down for tighter corners. When the GP1800R comes out of the turn, it automatically selects the optimum trim setting to keep the vessel level. Launch Control automatically pushes the trim down to prevent the bow from lifting under rapid acceleration. These features open up a whole new sensation of handling and performance cruising for racers and recreational drivers alike.

For an even more intense sailing experience

The GP1800R also has an intake grille and jet pump, which are specially designed for better connection and faster acceleration. The designed hull liner allowed the fuel tank to be positioned 80mm further to the stern and 15mm lower in the hull. By shifting the weight of the fuel tank, the center of gravity of the vessel has been improved, making the GP more controllable and agile.

SuperJet®: High Speed ​​Action

The SuperJet® is a new adrenaline craft that evolved from our racing DNA. The sleek, lightweight SuperJet® is the ultimate combination of blistering speed and acceleration. It's not just about straight-line speed, though, it's about the SuperJet®'s unrivaled cornering ability that delivers pure excitement.

This craft is no longer reserved for professionals. Its pumping three-cylinder four-stroke engine and brand-new, slim, lightweight hull guarantee you can master the waves, whether at high speed on the straights or in tight turns.

Incredibly agile

Our award-winning three-cylinder 4-stroke TR-1 engine is a compact, lightweight 1.049cc engine that gives the standing rider the ultimate feeling of performance, while also being smoother than ever before. Extreme manoeuvrability and ultimate control are features of the SuperJet® that manifest themselves when turning and cornering.

Not ready to pull out all the stops yet? The L-MODE® reduces engine performance to approximately 35 knots – a useful and confidence-inspiring feature for novice drivers. This model has a wider and more stable hull and is ideal for recreational boating, although the sprung tiller and handlebars automatically allow the operator to assume a comfortable leaning forward position, the perfect position for super-fast sailing and turning.

No other vessel is so easy to steer. At 2,5m, it easily fits in the back of a small van or large SUV and at 170kg, it is incredibly light compared to existing alternatives, making it very easy to put in and take out of the water. This model can also be stored very easily on the deck of a larger yacht.
