2026 Yamaha WaveRunner Crosswave

The 2026 Yamaha WaveRunner Crosswave is a hybrid personal watercraft that bridges jet ski performance with boat-like stability and space. Measuring 13 feet long and nearly 5.6 feet wide, it accommodates up to four riders on a modular split-seating configuration across a full walkaround deck with non-skid surfaces. The lightweight SMC hull and deck weigh approximately 1,000 pounds dry, contributing to its responsive handling.

Power comes from a 1.9-liter high-output 4-cylinder Yamaha Marine engine producing 180 horsepower, capable of reaching around 55 mph. The electronic fuel injection system supports efficient operation, while the 13.7-gallon fuel tank extends range for full-day outings. A patented jet pump system with cleanout port simplifies maintenance across varied water conditions.

Storage totals 82 gallons across dedicated compartments, including an anchor locker, stern storage, and quick-access bow areas. A 55-quart cooler, integrated rod holders, and a full walkaround marine-matted deck make the boat equally suited to fishing, cruising, or family recreation. The RiDE throttle control system enables intuitive forward, neutral, and reverse operation for precise maneuvering.

A pair of 7-inch Connext and Simrad displays manage navigation and fishfinding functions, with pre-wiring for deep-cycle battery and 8-inch Bluetooth speakers. Electric trim and cruise control enhance handling, while the wide hull design provides stability in choppy conditions. A removable seating module allows reconfiguration of deck space to suit different activities.
