Meet the 2027 Yamaha WaveRunner® VX® Deluxe in —a personal watercraft that’s basically an invitation to turn an ordinary day on the water into a full-on recreation session for up to three passengers.

At the heart of the fun is Yamaha’s TR-1 powerplant: a longitudinal in-line, 3-cylinder, 4-stroke setup with 12 valves in a DOHC configuration. It’s fuel injected, sips regular gas, and fires up with an electric starter, so the vibe stays “let’s go” instead of “let’s fiddle.” With a speed governor on board, the ride stays confidently controlled when you want it to, and the direct drive delivery keeps things feeling immediate and connected.

Slip into the two-piece vinyl seat (driver and passenger positions) and you’ll notice how naturally everything is laid out—right down to the finger throttle and handlebar steering. Yamaha’s RIDE™ steering system teams up with steering assist to make tight maneuvers and busy docks feel less intimidating and more intuitive. Need to back out cleanly? You’ve got reverse, ready when you are.

The hull is a V-hull built from lightweight NanoXcel™ (body and hull material), and it’s paired with an axial flow jet pump spinning a stainless steel impeller inside a 6.1-inch pump—an efficient recipe for smooth, confident movement through changing water. Underfoot, the skid-resistant flooring (for both driver and passenger areas) helps you feel planted when the water gets lively.

Practical touches keep the day easy: 4.7 cu ft of storage for essentials, a generous 18.5-gallon fuel capacity for longer runs, plus clear at-a-glance info from the fuel level gauge and trim indicator gauge. There’s also a temperature warning light, and the bilge is handled by an automatic siphon / electric pump system.

Sized at 132 inches long, 48 inches wide, and 45 inches tall, this VX® Deluxe looks sharp sitting still—and even better slicing across the water in .
