Popular Types of Personal Watercraft

Personal watercraft (PWC) models are a great option for enjoying the water. They allow riders to sit or stand on the model, rather than inside as they would on a boat, so you can enjoy a thrilling adventure directly on the water. It's no surprise that so many individuals add a PWC to their collection! 

If you are in the market for personal watercraft, the following guide can help you narrow your search and find the best type of model for your lifestyle. When you are ready to explore PWC for sale, head over to Boat Masters Marine. Our dealership is based in Akron, Ohio, and we also serve those in Youngstown and Cleveland.

Beginner Models

These general-purpose models are designed with newbies in mind. A smaller and lighter frame keeps the model easy to handle and easy to control. Beginners can spend their time building their skills and confidence, rather than wrestling a difficult machine. 

These models also tend to be more simple in design and easier to maintain, making ownership less of a commitment. There will be plenty of maintenance tasks that newbies can tackle, rather than needing to enlist a professional.

Touring Models

These personal watercraft models are built with rider comfort as the focus. They are often used for longer endurance rides, so riders can hop aboard and cruise around on the water for hours. The seating and positioning of the controls are designed to reduce muscle strain and fatigue, allowing riders to stay comfortable for longer periods of time. 

They also typically boast great fuel efficiency and durable engines. 

These PWC also offer plenty of storage, making it easy to bring all the supplies for an enjoyable longer ride.

Sport Models

Sport models are all about performance. These PWC models are made for adrenaline rushes and thrill-seekers. They tend to be for more experienced riders who can handle the high power potential. 

Many of these models require riders to stand to operate, which results in faster speeds and tighter turns.
