The Yamaha CrossWave is a new type of WaveRunner built for people who want more than just speed. It combines the fun of riding a WaveRunner with the space and utility you would expect from a small boat. The flat deck lets riders move around the craft safely and comfortably, making it easier to fish, relax, or set up gear.
Up to four people can ride, and seating can be removed or rearranged depending on the quantity of participants and activity to maximize the user experience beyond anything previously available.
Storage is built into the craft in a clean way so items stay organized and out of the way until needed. The universal T-slot rail system allows a wide and ever-growing quantity of accessories to be added, and not only Yamaha accessories at that. The console can support multiple displays at once, giving riders better information and better control.
The CrossWave was designed for adventure, long family days on the water, and flexible trips. Riders can go fishing, go exploring, take family or friends out, or enjoy a quiet solo ride around the bay.
This is the largest and most capable WaveRunner that Yamaha has made to date
