The Yamaha SuperJet has been a firm favourite in the stand-up jet sector for decades. Who the Waverunner is suitable for and what features it has to offer
Topics in this article

The model has established itself as an uncompromising piece of sports equipment for riders looking for maximum control and manoeuvrability. Unlike the seated Waverunner, the SuperJet has a standing design - this requires technique, balance and experience, but rewards you with a riding experience that is a pure adrenaline rush.

Waverunner with maximum manoeuvrability

The SuperJet is powered by a 1.0-litre high-output engine with around 100 hp. At first glance, this sounds like less power than the large waverunners, but the lightweight construction and minimalist design make the SuperJet an agile, lively sports machine that allows quick changes of direction and impressive tricks. The narrow, aggressive hull profile is designed for maximum manoeuvrability.

The construction method

The compact design and low centre of gravity provide direct feedback and control, which is essential for freestyle, racing or simply riding wild waves. Here you don't just ride on the water, you literally play with it. The cockpit is deliberately kept spartan to save weight and guarantee maximum freedom of movement.

A small digital display provides the most necessary information, and that's all the SuperJet needs. The learning mode is also available and the handlebars are adjustable. The SuperJet is a lot of fun on the water, but also requires a certain amount of balance and sportiness.

Editor Test & Technology

Ole Puls was born in Schleswig in 1999. He quickly swapped the football pitch for the Schlei and grew up sailing a wide variety of dinghies and tall ships. From his grandfather's self-built wooden opti and a Europe to a 49er and an X362 Sport, there was a lot to choose from. After leaving school, Puls decided to train as a boat builder at the high-tech shipyard Knierim Yachtbau in Kiel in 2016. He successfully completed his training in 2020 and stayed at the shipyard as a bachelor. In 2022, he decided not only to build boats, but also to test them. Since then, he has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag in the Test & Technology section of BOOTE magazine. The training he received and the eye for detail and quality of workmanship he acquired help him immensely today. Even though he is a regatta sailor with heart and soul, he feels right at home on motorboats and enjoys separating his professional and private lives and yet combining them. Because we all know one thing: there is simply no better place to be than on the water.
