The cheapest Yamaha Waverunner is right around $7,000: Yamaha EX. These are more expensive but are much more durable for more people and longer rides. The next most popular category is for those who are more into racing and going on longer and more comfortable rides luxury. I have been on a few recreational watercraft and they are super fun to ride these are best for driving in circles and hopping wakes with. Families who have young children or are beginners with watercraft should get these recreational watercraft. The recreation PWcs are the cheapest and the lightest ones. The most popular category of a PWC is the recreation category. Just like the Yamaha one seaters, the Sea-Doo one seaters are standing up jet skis and are not as popular as they were in the ’80s. The Sea-Doo seats are known for being slimmer for more movement. The cheaper Sea-Doo can hold 2-3 people, while the more expensive ones usually have 2 seats. These are not made anymore, but there are still used ones out there. The one person PWCs are only for standing up jet skis. There are more options with Yamaha when it comes to how many can be seated. Yamaha Waverunners can fit 1-3 persons on board. I would definitely recommend investing in a cushy waterproof seat cover if you are going to buy a cheaper jet ski. I was on the back with two other people and I had a lot of fun, but when we took really sharp turns, it was not the most comfortable thing. The seat definitely felt like one of those uncomfortable hard plastic theater seats. I had one experience on a Yamaha EX and after I was on it for about 35 minutes my behind was going numb. The cheapest jet skis are really best suited for shorter rides because the seats are so uncomfortable! While the more expensive ones have more padding in their seats. The cheaper the PWC, the less comfortable the seat is going to be.

Take time to research which PWC is best for your family. I have compiled a thorough description of the differences between Yamaha Waverunner and Sea-Doo Watercraft.


Buying a jet ski is a big decision to make and there are a lot of things to take into consideration when comparing the brands.
