2026 Yamaha Boats 252SD

The 2026 Yamaha 252SD is a 24.5-foot fiberglass jet boat powered by three 1,898cc gasoline engines. The hull is finished in black. At the helm, a 12.3-inch Connext touchscreen with mapping integrates Yamaha's drive-by-wire technology and E-Series features. The standout innovation is DRiVE X, Yamaha's advanced maneuvering system that allows independent forward, backward, and lateral movement, rotation, and hold positioning—all controlled from the steering wheel.

Cockpit layout includes an adjustable captain's chair with flip-up bolster, a passenger-side captain's chair, tilt steering, and multiple seating options via bow filler inserts. The helm features blue LED-lit switch panels and wireless charging. A walk-through bow door opens to accommodation space with a head compartment, wardrobe storage, and upholstered interior, plus a galley with stow-in-place table and storage. The stern cockpit offers a portside entertainment area and lockable glove box, with teak-style matting throughout.

The stern features an integrated swim platform with upholstered cushioned seating and backrests, a stainless steel telescopic reboarding ladder, and a freshwater shower. A removable dinette table mounts at the stern, and a swim-up seat accessory bracket is factory-installed. The extended Bimini top covers the cockpit, with a premium windshield frame and integrated docking and courtesy lighting.

Engine displacement is 1,898cc per unit with a 75-gallon fuel capacity. The boat includes seven Hertz marine speakers with stern stereo remote, quiet cruise technology, and a 3-position "No Wake Mode" control. Standard equipment comprises stainless steel bow rails, seven pop-up cleats, a tow hook, and an aluminum folding wakeboard tower. The boat comes with a painted trailer featuring a swing-away tongue and spare tire.
