2026 Yamaha Boats 252SD

The 2026 Yamaha 252SD is a 24.5-foot fiberglass jet boat powered by three Yamaha marine engines. The boat is equipped with DRiVE X technology, an advanced maneuvering system that allows intuitive control—moving forward and backward, shifting laterally, rotating on axis, or holding position—all from the steering wheel. The setup includes drive-by-wire technology, dual battery configuration, and Quiet Cruise Technology for refined operation.

The cockpit centers on a 12.3-inch Helm Connext multifunction display with integrated navigation and Yamaha E-Series features. A tilt steering wheel, upgraded upholstery, and articulating seat backrests define the helm area. Seating includes captain's chairs with flip-up bolsters at both helm and passenger side, plus a portside entertainment area. The removable dinette table with pedestal mount and bow filler inserts allow flexible deck configurations. Seven Hertz marine speakers with a stern stereo remote provide audio throughout, and wireless charging points are integrated.

Accommodations include a galley with stow-in-place table and storage, a head compartment with wardrobe storage, and freshwater shower. Bow and stern storage areas serve different purposes—a dedicated anchor and rope locker forward, and wet storage aft. The integrated swim platform features a factory-installed swim-up seat bracket and reboardng ladder. An extended Bimini top and premium windshield frame provide weather protection, while underwater lighting, docking lights, and LED accent lighting enhance functionality and aesthetics. The boat comes on a painted trailer with swing-away tongue.
