2026 Yamaha Boats 252SD

The 2026 Yamaha 252SD is a 24.5-foot bowrider built around Yamaha's DRiVE X propulsion system, which enables intuitive boat handling—moving forward, backward, laterally, or rotating in place all from the steering wheel. Power comes from a single 1898cc gasoline engine with drive-by-wire technology, supported by dual battery setup and a 75-gallon fuel capacity. A 12.3-inch Connext touchscreen display with mapping integrates navigation and boat controls, while Cruise Assist and a three-position No Wake Mode provide operator convenience.

The layout combines open bow seating with a full stern entertainment area. The bow features a walk-through door, filler inserts for flexible configurations, an integrated cooler, dedicated anchor locker, and access to the head compartment with wardrobe storage. An aluminum wakeboard tower with tow hook suits water sports. The stern offers a swim platform with upholstered seating, a stainless steel telescoping reboarding ladder, freshwater shower, and a removable dinette table. A galley with stow-in-place table and storage supports overnight or extended outings.

Equipment includes seven Hertz speakers with stern stereo remote, wireless charging, docking and courtesy lighting throughout, LED accents, and an underwater light. Exterior details feature stainless steel bow rails, seven pop-up cleats, an extended Bimini top, and a premium windshield with mirror. An extended Bimini top and aluminum folding wakeboard tower enhance comfort and functionality. A painted trailer with swing-away tongue and spare tire is included.
