All three major Jet Ski brands in Australia – Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner and Kawasaki Jet Ski – have announced mega deals in the lead-up to the winter off-season amid a bigger-than-expected drop in customer demand.
Market leader Sea-Doo remains critically overstocked and has just taken the unprecedented step of extending its discounts of up to $3500 – as well as low interest rate finance offers, and one year extra warranty on certain models – for the third three-month period in a row.
It means Sea-Doo’s 2023 models (and some 2022 models which, incredibly, still remain in stock) have now been in discount mode for nine consecutive months (from November 2023 to July 2024).
It is the longest discount promotion – and at such a high level – in the Australian Jet Ski market in memory.
The price cuts on 2023 models in the Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner and Kawasaki Jet Ski line-ups effectively undo massive price rises in recent years.
As previously reported, given the 2024 Sea-Doo model range went up by between $230 and $3110, the runout deals on 2022 and 2023 Sea-Doo stock amount to savings in some cases of close to $5000 compared to the 2024 line-up.
However, even the current crop of hot deals is yet to make an impact as Sea-Doo remains overstocked amid a worse-than-expected market downturn.
Industry data sourced by Watercraft Zone shows sales of Jet Skis and personal watercraft hit reverse in 2023 – down 24 per cent compared to the record year prior – and this has left Sea-Doo with a warehouse full of unsold inventory.
As previously reported, dealers canvassed by Watercraft Zone said sales of personal watercraft hit the brakes in 2023 after a surge in 2021 and 2022 amid travel restrictions during the global COVID pandemic.
“A lot of people bought a Jet Ski during COVID because they couldn’t travel, but now everyone can travel again,” a leading Jet Ski dealer told Watercraft Zone.
“There are a lot of near-new secondhand skis for sale with low hours on them, because people used them once or twice during COVID and that was it.
“So you have a flood of good used skis at the same time as supply of brand-new 2023 and 2024 models improved dramatically.”
The current Sea-Doo deals are being offered alongside discounts from Yamaha WaveRunner (up to $2000 off to 31 May 2024) and Kawasaki Jet Ski (up to $2000 off to 31 May 2024).
The three Sea-Doo models with the biggest discount of $3500 – the Sea-Doo Fish Pro series – have no colour or trim changes to distinguish 2024 models from their 2023 equivalents, delivering buyers an even bigger bargain.
