There is a range of new Jet Skis for 2024 – as well as some old favourites – across the Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner and Kawasaki line-ups. With more than 50 Jet Skis to choose from across the three major brands – Sea-Doo, Yamaha and Kawasaki – we know deciding which one to buy can be daunting. But hopefully this rundown of the key models – and the key differences, including prices – will help take out some of the guesswork.

There are now 11 Jet Skis that eclipse the $30,000 price barrier in Australia. That’s enough money to buy a boat. Are Jet Skis getting too expensive, or is the desire for more technology driving up the cost?
Kawasaki Jet Skis in Australia have been subject to two price rises in less than a year, and one model now eclipses the $30,000 barrier for the first time.
The first man to lap mainland Australia – and Tasmania – solo on a Jet Ski has dodged cyclones and battled mammoth ocean swells to complete the first solo Jet Ski ride around New Zealand.
