You’ll need to hang on tight to the Ultra 310X—powered by a 310-horsepower supercharged, fuel-injected, four-cylinder engine, it has a top speed of 67 miles per hour. Redesigned for 2023 with a sleeker, more streamlined lower deck, it has room for three on the ultra-comfy “Ergo-Fit LXury” saddle that’s made with shock-absorbing urethane and designed to seat the passengers a bit higher than the driver, for unobstructed views.

Yamaha’s flagship WaveRunner is a head-turner that lives up to its jet fighter looks. The hull has been redesigned for 2023 to wring every bit of performance from the 260-horsepower supercharged engine that lets it skip across the water at up to 65 miles per hour. It features boat-like amenities, including an audio system, trim and tilt, and a seven-inch touchscreen to monitor engine functions and access GPS charts.

Sometimes, you want a personal watercraft to go play on the waves, but if you want to bring friends and family along, you really need a boat. The WaveBoat JetSki Boat solves this dilemma; the hull mates to almost any personal watercraft, instantly converting the two into a runabout. Hulls are available from 14 feet to 21 feet, with options including a T-top for shade and sound systems.

Inspired by the original Jet Skis, this speedster is designed to let the operator do all types of wild stunts, including a full flip off its own wake, or to ride the waves created by a wakeboard boat. Powered by a 130-horsepower engine and weighing a mere 308 pounds, the Footrocket allows you to go water-skiing anytime you want without needing a boat and someone to drive it.

The Sea-Doo Spark Trixx lives up to its name, thanks to a slew of innovative features that allows even those new to personal watercraft to safely perform a number of impressive tricks. The Intelligent Brake and Reverse stops the Trixx on a dime and makes docking a breeze, while the Variable Trim System raises the nose a bit to make it easier to do the waterway version of “wheelies.”
