2026 Yamaha WaveRunner VX Cruiser HO

The 2026 Yamaha WaveRunner VX Cruiser HO is built around a 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, 1.9-liter high-output marine engine—the largest displacement in Yamaha's personal watercraft lineup. A 155 mm axial-flow jet pump provides strong thrust suitable for cruising, towing, and sustained performance under load. The RiDE® throttle control system enables smooth transitions between forward, neutral, and reverse, simplifying handling in confined waters and at low speeds.

Seating accommodates one to three riders with roomy positioning that maintains control and performance. The fuel tank holds 18.5 gallons, supporting extended outings. Storage totals approximately 30.1 gallons of capacity across multiple compartments—bow storage, under-seat lockers, and a watertight glove box—for gear and day-use supplies.

The Connext® helm display is a 4.3-inch color screen presenting real-time data including speed, fuel level, RPM, drive mode, and security status. At approximately 11 feet in length, 4 feet in beam, and weighing around 783 pounds dry, this watercraft balances capacity with maneuverability. This configuration omits a built-in audio system, keeping focus on core performance and essential touring features.
