The 2027 Yamaha WaveBlaster brings a dirt-bike-inspired ride to the water, built for short, high-energy sessions where the rider drives the action.
Who the WaveBlaster is for
Thrill-seekers who want a playful, aggressive PWC and love the original WaveBlaster.
What stands out
- 1,049cc TR-1 HO marine engine. Aggressive acceleration and a target top speed in the mid-50 mph range.
- Lean-in hull design. A VARTM composite hull, 144mm jet pump and no sponsons.
- Learner mode (L-mode). Helps new riders build confidence.
- ’90s heritage. Deep navy hull, neon yellow seat and hand-lettered WaveBlaster script.
WaveBlaster vs. SuperJet
Both are performance-oriented. The SuperJet is the stand-up race-heritage craft; the WaveBlaster is the lean-in, dirt-bike-inspired ride.
