JET SKI, WAVERUNNER, OR SEADOO?

A personal watercraft (PWC) is a recreational watercraft that the rider sits or stands on, rather than inside of, as in a boat. They are often referred by the names WaveRunner, Jet Ski, or Sea-Doo, which include brand names such as Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Honda. All three terms and brands offer remarkably similar features and experiences. Originally, the primary difference between a WaveRunner and JetSki was the driver position: sitting or standing. However, Jet Ski’s now offer both sitting and standing models. Our Yamaha VX Cruiser is a seated position waverunner that comfortably seats three people.
