Yamaha WaveRunner has unveiled its first new non-supercharged four-cylinder engine in 15 years, with a claimed 200 horsepower. The 1.9-litre is the largest capacity motor in the Jet Ski market today. Here is everything we know so far.
Electric Jet Ski specialist Taiga delayed its introduction in Australia by 12 months – but the first shipment is finally on the water and heading Down Under.
It is new Model Year season for Jet Skis, with big reveals for the 2024 Yamaha WaveRunner and 2024 Sea-Doo watercraft line-ups due in the next fortnight ahead of showroom arrivals next year. Here are the dates and times.
Kawasaki Jet Ski is offering $1500 off the STX 160 range until the end of this month. And buyers who sign up at this weekend’s Sydney Boat Show will receive a cover valued at $734 at no extra charge, and a 50th anniversary gift pack.
Yamaha has announced the biggest discounts across its WaveRunner line-up since the global pandemic. Up to $3000 off – combined – with a 3.99 per cent finance offer. For now, the deal is only available at this weekend’s Sydney Boat Show.
More than a decade in the making, Yamaha Australia has introduced a Jet Ski decked out for fishing. Meet the Yamaha FX HO JetFish, a rival to the Sea-Doo Fish Pro series.
The 2023 Kawasaki Ultra 160 LX and LX-S have arrived in Australia – unveiled at Sydney Boat Show this week ahead of customer deliveries. With price rises of almost $10,000, Kawasaki is aiming to compete with the Yamaha FX HO and Sea-Doo GTX 170.
It’s the most expensive Jet Ski we have ever tested. It’s called the Belassi Burrasca and while it has an Italian name – Burrasca is Italian for ‘storm’ – the craft is hand-made in Austria. When it went on sale in Europe in mid 2021 it was priced from 50,000 Euros, the equivalent of about $56,000 US dollars or about $82,000 Australian dollars. And while that is a power of money – and comfortably more than twice the price of the fastest Jet Skis from Sea-Doo, Yamaha and Kawasaki – it shares some technology and construction materials found in Formula One race cars.
After three years of zero discounts on Jet Skis amid severe stock shortages, there is a new round of sharp deals on certain Sea-Doo models, in response to Yamaha’s recent 3.99 per cent finance rate.
It’s the most expensive Jet Ski we have ever tested at Watercraft Zone. Meet the carbon-fibre, turbo-charged Belassi Burrasca.
