2023 Yamaha WaveRunner JetBlaster | 3m

• Light & agile: Only ~549 lb dry, much lighter than VX Deluxe (~143 lb less)

• Acceleration & speed:

  • Base: ~90 HP delivers lively acceleration

  • PRO: catches up to 110 HP—tested top speeds ~51 mph Stability: Generally nimble but more challenging in chop or when ridden heavy. Experienced riders report initial flipping and recommend mastering throttle for steady balance

• “They’re pretty light and sporty so stability isn’t its strong suit… you just need more time to acclimate.”

• Performance edge: PRO model’s enhanced pump and trim increase freestyle control

The JetBlaster is perfect for riders who want:

• A playful, freestyle PWC experience with stand-up trick capabilities

• A lightweight and agile platform that’s easy to manhandle

• High fun-factor, sporty acceleration and control

Not a great fit if you’re looking for:

• A stable ride in rough water or for towing multiple passengers

• Lots of storage or long-distance cruising features

• A comfortable, luxurious family jet ski

The 2023 JetBlaster reshapes lightweight sit-down PWCs with freestyle features, trick-enhancing controls, and engaging performance. Optimized for solo and thrill-focused riders, it’s a blast in calm waters—though beginners and big passenger loads may find it a challenge.
