About This Yacht
The 2026 Yamaha 222XE is a 22-foot ski and wake boat built for both high-performance watersports and relaxed cruising. Powered by a single 1898cc engine with regular unleaded fuel and a 70-gallon capacity, the boat features Yamaha's E-Series drive-by-wire technology, an integrated electric wake booster, and an articulating keel system. The hull is designed to enhance wake quality, and the boat includes an integrated ballast system with toe-in jet nozzle positioning for tuning. Other performance features include cruise assist, quiet cruise technology, and a three-position no-wake mode control.
The layout centers on versatile seating and storage. The helm has a tilt steering wheel, adjustable captain's chair with flip-up bolster, and a passenger-side captain's chair. The cockpit includes snap-in marine-grade mats, bow filler inserts for flexible seating, hinged seat cushions, and a removable dinette table with pedestal mounts. A walk-through bow door leads to a dedicated anchor and rope locker. The stern features an integrated swim platform with upholstered cushioned seats and backrests that incorporate storage, plus a stainless steel telescopic reboarding ladder.
Technology and convenience features include a 12.3-inch Connext screen with maps, seven marine speakers plus two tower speakers and stern speakers, a stern stereo remote, and two wireless charging points. Lighting throughout comprises docking lights, courtesy deck and tower lighting, and LED accent lighting. The boat also has a dual battery setup, integrated removable cooler, lockable glove box, and a dedicated ski locker.
The 222XE comes with a painted trailer featuring a swing-away tongue and spare tire mount. Other exterior details include stainless steel bow rails, six pop-up cleats, a bimini top, aluminum folding wakeboard tower with tow hook, wakeboard racks, and a windshield mirror.
