Used Yamaha Jet Skis for sale by owner. When the weather is nice and warm, you’re probably going to want to start looking at activities to do on your favorite lake or other local body of water. If you’re like lots of water enthusiasts, then you’ll turn to Yamaha PWCs for your thrills. These machines have a long history of providing quality performance with cool styling.

The ‘80s and the ‘90s

While no longer a part of the Yamaha lineup, the WaveJammer and WaveBlaster of the 80s and 90s played a crucial role in the continued development of Yamaha PWCs. The former was the first sit-down PWC, featuring a small hull and solo seating for better handling on the water. The latter was a two-person watercraft that performed similarly to a motorcycle. It was particularly well-known for its powerful engine. Both of these models helped set the stage for the one that changed everything. 

Development of the WaveRunner® – Used Yamaha Jet Skis for sale by owner

Today’s premier line of Yamaha PWCs is the WaveRunner line. First introduced in the 1980s, they started as a sit-down, open watercraft and blew away the market with their power and rideability. They also provided agile handling that made controlling them easy, even for novices. Over the next several years, Yamaha continued to improve their models and draw buyer after buyer to these impressive PWCs. 

In 2002, the WaveRunner line introduced a model that included the first four-stroke engine watercraft ever. This engine not only created a smoother ride, but it offered excellent fuel efficiency. It also came with a hull design that was more stable and quickly became a favorite among riders. A few years later, the models became lighter by introducing NanoXCel® in the hulls. This is a composite material that’s 25% lighter than previously used materials. And the innovations just keep coming.

The Yamaha PWCs of today have come a long way since their beginning days. They’ve expanded their lineup to include PWCs for everyone, whether you’re a recreational enthusiast, or you need something that’ll allow you to sit back and relax during your ride. There’s even a racing series for the professionals and amateur racers out there. 

Some of the latest upgrades you’ll enjoy include an industry-first, Yamaha’s Connext® touchscreen. This comes with Drive Control, all vital display functions, and security modes to lock out unwanted visitors. You can also use Bluetooth® enabled speakers to play your favorite tunes to the water and get the party started.

Better Design

Many of the models have also been redesigned over the years to give you better performance and a more enjoyable experience. This can mean marine-grade fiberglass hulls and decks for improved durability and a better ownership experience. Some of the WaveRunner models come with NanoXCel® 2 technology to lighten the machine by up to 60 pounds. This can help improve handling, making each PWC more agile, on top of the improved acceleration power from the award-winning TR-1® engine. 

The Yamaha PWCs are also designed with you in mind. That’s why you can get the sports activity packages to give you more storage space for a fishing cooler. Never thought of using your Yamaha PWC to go fishing? Well now’s the time to start planning!
