WaveRunners
Introduction

Everyone wants the perfect family solution.


The first small “PWCs” (personal watercraft) that were born in the 1970s in the USA, were a vehicle to be enjoyed by solo rider. They were also difficult to ride vehicles that not everyone could master. In order to offer a PWC that more people could ride and enjoy with ease and assurance,Yamaha introduced the WaveRunner in 1986 as the world’s first tandem model PWC. It was a craft developed around the concepts of reliability, fun and functionality.


It was also a craft that could only have been built by Yamaha, a company with a unique combination of long years of small engine expertise in the motorcycle and outboard motor fields and equally deep experience and know-how in boat design and construction. And ever since, Yamaha has continued to develop and refine its technologies to achieve a beautiful harmony between what the customers want in a WaveRunner and what is good for the local societies and the environment.
