New colors and graphics on our broad line-up
What really makes the difference when it comes to choosing a watercraft? According to our loyal owners, its knowing that they are buying the best of the best – the one with the sort of innovative features and performance that no other watercraft can offer them.
Riding made easier and more relaxing
A great example is Yamaha’s unique and exclusive RiDE® system, standard on most models, which is a complete revolution in control and makes it unlike any other watercraft. Ever.
At the heart of RiDE are the industry’s first dual handlebar throttle levers that deliver new levels of precision and control, whether you’re moving forwards, in reverse – or just having fun carving some turns.
It’s the most intuitive driving experience on the water. Just squeeze the right handlebar lever to go
forward. Squeeze the left lever for slowing down from speed – and squeeze the right handlebar lever for selecting neutral. Squeeze the left lever again for great control in reverse. No shifting. No gears. The only thing to think about is how much fun it is to RiDE.
Try finding another watercraft that’s so relaxing and easy to handle – or one that offers models with push-button remote security, electronic or manual quick-shift (QSTS) trim systems, electronic throttle control and a host of features like clear, accurate multi-function instruments, comfortable re-boarding facilities and practical, spacious storage options. It won’t be easy.
Power and performance for fun
At the heart of every WaveRunner is a technically advanced marine engine that has earned a legendary reputation for smooth, impressive power, reliability and economy. Whether it’s the award-winning
1049cc 3-cylinder TR-1 unit or the supercharged High Output version of our 1812cc engine that powers the awesome GP1800, it has been designed to deliver a level of power and performance unequalled in the industry. Our owners know that – it’s yet another WaveRunner advantage that ‘makes the difference’ – and makes it the right choice.
