As your local Yamaha boat dealer, Jet Ski of Miami is proud to detail a little of the history behind jet boats and how Yamaha has innovated in this arena.
The History Of Jet Boats
Jet boats were developed during the 1950s in New Zealand to solve the problem of boating in the very shallow, fast rivers that proliferate there. With rocks constantly damaging and destroying boat propellers, boating enthusiasts needed a new solution, and Sir William Hamilton came up with it in 1954 with his waterjet invention.
The new propulsion system made jet boats faster and more nimble than traditional motorboats, able to stop very suddenly and turn quickly. These features all led to jet boats becoming wildly popular both in and out of New Zealand within a few years. Jet boats have seen use as patrol boats, passenger ferries, supply boats and rescue crafts due to their versatility and ease of handling, but they’re also amazing entertainment and relaxation craft for recreational boaters.
Yamaha’s Acclaimed Internal Propulsion System
In 1991, Yamaha made waves (pun intended) with their unique jet-propulsion system that they initially had developed for their WaveRunner® watercraft. Designers recognized the system’s potential to make boating more enjoyable by coupling power with a shallow draft, letting the boats skim over the surface of very shallow water without running aground. Worrying about propeller damage became a thing of the past when Yamaha began to construct their jet boats around this feature.
Yamaha Jet Boat Models
Yamaha offers a wide range of jet boats, from 19 to 24 feet in length, including wake boats and center console styles. With features ranging from Bimini™ tops over sturdy aluminum towers to wide swim platforms, Yamaha jet boats are geared towards making you comfortable and content out on the water.
