2026 Yamaha Boats 255XE

The 2026 Yamaha 255XE is a 24.5-foot jet boat built for wakesurf performance and day cruising. Powered by a single 1,812cc Yamaha engine producing 500 combined horsepower, it runs on premium unleaded fuel with a 75-gallon capacity. The boat features drive-by-wire technology, an integrated ballast system, and an electric wakeBooster, all controlled through a 12.3-inch Connext screen display with integrated maps. Its hull is engineered for wake enhancement, and the articulating keel system combined with a toe-in jet nozzle position allows for precise handling and wake shaping.

The cockpit and bow accommodate multiple configurations with hinged seat cushions, bow filler inserts, and an adjustable captain's chair with flip-up bolster. A walk-through bow door provides access to the forward area, which includes a lockable glove box, integrated removable cooler, and ski locker. The stern features an integrated swim platform with upholstered cushioned seating and backrests, a stainless steel telescopic reboarding ladder, and dedicated wet storage. The galley includes a stow-in-place table, and an enclosed head compartment with wardrobe storage completes the cabin amenities.

Equipment throughout the boat reflects attention to comfort and usability. A 12.3-inch touchscreen helm display manages navigation and onboard systems, while dual batteries support the electrical load. Seven premium Hertz speakers, tower speakers, and a stern stereo remote create a full audio system. Courtesy lighting illuminates the deck, tower, and docking areas, and LED accent lighting adds visual interest. The boat includes a tilt steering wheel, aluminum handles and accents, stainless steel bow rails with seven pop-up cleats, and a bimini top for weather protection.

A painted trailer with swing-away tongue and spare tire is included with the boat. Features such as quiet cruise technology, no-wake mode control, and cruise assist round out the technical package designed for both performance and ease of operation.
