Enhanced Cruising Adventure
The FX Range

• Our Cruising segment is home to the FX range, where sophistication and innovation collide in a luxurious and exciting mix. These WaveRunners are as suited to relaxed days exploring remote coasts as to exhilarating bursts of speed with spray on your skin and the wind in your hair.

New for 2023

• The latest FX Cruiser SVHO is available as standard in Torch Red with black detailing and has also been released in Limited Edition colours for a real style statement on the water. On-trend carbon and mint colouring and fresh graphics, with a premium paint finish make this exclusive edition especially eye catching. Plus, the limited edition version includes flush-fitted, pop-up cleats as standard making it quick and easy to tie to a pontoon or mooring buoy.
• The FX SVHO has also been treated to an upgrade, now featuring an integrated audio system which sits sleekly in the foot well. Waterproof and shock resistant, Bluetooth enabled and linked to the 7-inch colour touch screen Connext display, it’s never been easier to ride to your favourite tunes or place a quick call to that waterside restaurant you’ve been meaning to try for lunch.
• Finally, the FX Cruiser HO and FX HO have been enhanced with a NanoXcel2® deck, for a super light yet extremely strong construction that enhances the power to weight ratio and handling.

 
VX Versatility

• The VX series are multi-faceted Wave Runners featuring award-winning engineering and intuitive RiDE systems that completely transform the riding experience by introducing intuitive control, electronic reverse, and traction control. The advanced Connext multi-function helm system with its sleek and easy-to-read 4.3" colour display screen is cutting-edge. When paired with twin multi-mount connection points, conveniently placed for navigational equipment, cameras, or other devices, you’ll have all the tech you need to have an incredible adventure, fully equipped.

 
VX

• The VX is powered by our innovative 3-cylinder engine, the 1049cc TR-1 HO. Compact and lightweight, the engine delivers a perfect balance of efficiency and nimble handling. VX offers everything you need to start your adventures; seating for 3, ample storage and the intuitive RiDE control system.

 
New for 2023

• The VX Cruiser HO already topped the VX range with its powerful engine, but this year it has been elevated to even greater heights with the addition of a NanoXcel2 deck, previously only available on top-end cruising and performance models. The new deck is superbly strong and incredibly light, supporting nifty handling and exhilarating speed on the water. The 1812cc High Output, 4 cylinder engine delivers smooth, powerful and efficient performance and as with all VX’s, is versatile and easy to handle.
• Audio is standard on the VX Cruiser HO, with a fully integrated, factory-installed Bluetooth sound system. The speakers are ideally positioned in the foot wells and controlled from an easy-access panel on the dashboard.

Refining Recreation

• Take off onboard The JetBlaster
• The introduction of the JetBlaster® redefined the recreational sector. The impeccable build quality provides an experience that is reliably and unquestioningly Yamaha. The NanoXcel2 hull delivers a strong power-to-weight ratio, allowing for serious thrills and exhilarating performance on all types of water. The electronic trim system makes the bow height easily adjustable, reducing spray and drag when raised and providing greater grip in corners when lowered. The RiDE control system with electronic reverse delivers simpler handling, and foot chocks mean that even first-time riders can easily adjust their riding position and join the fun. With storage as standard, and a generous fuel tank providing the option of a longer cruise, this model won the hearts of new customers and fans of the original WaveBlaster alike.

 
New for 2023

• Whereas the JetBlaster® launched with a retro-inspired design to pay homage to the legendary WaveBlaster, this year’s edition offers more understated styling while retaining the graffiti, free-spirited personality, opening up the excitement to a new pool of customers who prefer a more subtle, modern look to their WaveRunner.

Sport: Delivering Ultimate Performance
GP Family: Destined For Greatness

• If you’re at the top of your game, you need a machine to match. The supercharged Yamaha GP1800R SVHO and naturally-aspirated GP1800R HO stand out from the crowd with the industry's first automatic trim system featuring Cornering Control and Launch Control. Cornering Control automatically adjusts the trim, delivering extra grip as the rider decelerates for tighter cornering. It then automatically selects the optimal trim setting to keep the craft level. Launch Control automatically shifts the trim down to prevent bow rise when accelerating quickly. This incredible technology offers exceptional levels of handling and performance riding, for racers and recreational riders alike.
• The GP1800R also features an intake grate and jet pump, specifically designed for better hook-up and quicker acceleration. Weight distribution has also been optimised to enhance the GPs' nimble handling and to always deliver ultimate performance.
• SuperJet®: Sleek At Speed
• The SuperJet® is a revolutionary machine with Yamaha’s racing DNA intertwined from the outset. The streamlined, lightweight SuperJet® delivers an adrenaline-fuelling combination of blistering speed and acceleration thanks to the fantastically lightweight design. It isn’t just straight-line speed that makes the SuperJet® stand out. It also offers unparalleled manoeuvrability to go with utter exhilaration. Embracing riders beyond the professional scene, its award-winning, three-cylinder, 4-stroke TR-1 marine engine and flowing, lightweight hull ensure you'll own the waves, delivering the all-out performance in fast-paced straights and the extreme agility and control for aggressive corners.
• For riders not wanting to go all out right away, L-MODE reduces engine performance to around 35 knots to build confidence in novice riders. A wider and more stable hull makes it ideal for recreation, whilst the spring-assisted steering pole and handlebar lead the rider into a comfortable lean-forward position, for when you’re ready for super-fast riding and turning. At just 2.5m in length; it easily fits into the back of a light van or large SUV and at 170kg it’s lightweight, making it very simple to launch and recover. This also makes it ideal for storage on the deck of a larger yacht.

Clean the Sea

• Now entering its third year, Yamaha Motor’s inspiring Clean the Sea projects continue to bring people with the passion for nature ever closer, focusing on diverse marine environments that unite the unique love for the big blue.
• Our Clean the Sea projects are diverse and wide spread; from supporting record-breaking voyages collecting marine debris, to more local initiatives focusing on raising awareness and promoting recycling.
• Inner city rivers are often most susceptible to the negative impacts of pollution in the water. Since 2017, Yamaha Motor Portugal has run initiatives which clear debris from the Tagus river in central Lisbon, while at the same time educating less fortunate teenagers in the area on the benefits of recycling and marine preservation.
• In 2021, Simone Zignoli highlighted the importance of having a minimal impact on the environment when on an Italian adventure, aboard his FX WaveRunner. Zignoli completely immersed himself in Sardinian nature, ensuring he left no negative impact on the environment around him by living off only what was growing locally.
• In Scandinavia, since 2021, Ocean Crusaders have been supported by Yamaha Outboard power to help clean up operations and remove plastics from the waters around Sweden.
• Blue4Green is an initiative launched and run in Spain which litter picks in coves, secluded bays and areas which are unreachable on foot and using larger marine vessels. Yamaha Motor started working with Lucas del Paso in 2022, he and his team launched Blue4Green following a world record breaking Personal Watercraft journey which saw him cover over 3,500km in eight months, collecting marine debris all the way.
• The Clean the Sea projects reflect our commitment to support a host of activities across Europe to preserve the marine environment for tomorrow.  

 
Supporting Ultimate Surfing

• Big wave surfing sees some of the world’s best surfers in a life-long pursuit of huge waves, some reaching 100ft (30m) in height as they break on the shores of the Atlantic coast. A sport reserved for only the best and bravest waterman and women in the world, paired with the finest equipment. Recent years have seen the world of big wave surfing grow in popularity, both for spectators and participants, and much of this is down to the technological and engineering innovations of Yamaha WaveRunners.
• Yamaha WaveRunners have been a fundamental part of the evolution in big wave surfing in Nazare, Portugal and beyond. Waves which were once unthinkable to surf are now possible for these elite, world-class athletes. WaveRunner performance, stability and reliability have all been key factors in the growth of the sport, allowing pilots to navigate the surfers in the safest way possible. This reputation and innovation has maintained Yamaha position as the unit of choice for the rising stars in the sport.
• Nic von Rupp is a professional big wave surfer from Sintra, Portugal and a Yamaha Motor ambassador. Having won many big wave competitions during his career, in November 2020, he surfed some of the biggest waves ever ridden at the legendary Nazare Beach, where waves can reach a phenomenal 30 meters high.
• In his quest to become the world’s best big-wave surfer Nic trains intensively, working incredibly hard with his team to achieve peak performance and be able to tackle nature at its fullest. With that level of dedication and so much at stake, he knows he needs the best equipment available. And for him, when it comes to a personal watercraft to get him into and out of the biggest waves - and pick him up reliably when he disappears under all that crushing water -  it has to be Yamaha, which he’s used for much of his career.
• Currently, Nic uses the FX SVHO for his adventures amongst waves that can be up to eight stories high, relying on the FX SVHO to be super stable in some of the world’s most extreme conditions, reliable, and powerful enough to outrun the surf.
• At Yamaha Motor we believe in people with big dreams and aspirations. This is why the relationship with Nic is so strong. Nic personifies the commitment which Yamaha Motor puts into every product, as well as the drive to push boundaries and maintain greatness. We develop new technologies to make these aspirations a reality, and to challenge the impossible.
