Meet the 2027 Yamaha WaveRunner® VX Cruiser® in —a personal watercraft that looks ready for sunshine and acts like it’s been waiting all year to hit the water. Built for 3-passenger fun, it’s the kind of ride that turns a casual lake day into a full-on “one more lap” afternoon, with room to bring friends along and still keep things comfortable.

At the heart of it is Yamaha’s TR-1 powerplant: a 1049cc, 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with DOHC and 12 valves (that’s 4 per cylinder) designed to deliver smooth, confident pull. It starts with an electric starter, runs on regular gas, and uses fuel injection to keep response crisp when you squeeze that finger throttle. Out on the water, the direct drive setup keeps the connection feeling immediate, while the axial flow jet pump (with a 6.1-inch diameter and a stainless steel impeller) helps translate that energy into clean acceleration and lively cruising.

Handling is where the VX Cruiser® really earns its keep. The V-hull—built from lightweight NanoXcel™—feels composed when the water gets choppy, and the RIDE™ manual handlebar steering, paired with steering assist, makes it easy to place the craft exactly where you want it. And when it’s time to slow things down or maneuver near the dock, having reverse onboard adds a welcome dose of control.

Comfort is clearly part of the plan here, too. A two-piece vinyl seat provides a relaxed perch for the driver and passengers, plus a fixed backrest to make longer cruises feel easy. The driver and passenger floorboards are skid resistant, so everyone feels planted, even when the excitement level rises.

Bring snacks, towels, and the “just in case” extras—there’s 4.7 cu ft of storage and an 18.5-gallon fuel capacity to keep the day going. Helpful readouts like a fuel gauge, trim gauge, and a temperature warning light keep you informed, while the automatic siphon/electric pump bilge system helps you stay focused on the fun.
