The Yamaha VX Deluxe is something of an all-rounder in the middle segment of the Waverunner range - reliable, well equipped and pleasant to ride without immediately slipping into the top class.

If you are looking for a well-rounded overall package that is suitable for touring, water sports and the occasional brisker ride, you will be well served here. The VX Deluxe is also powered by the tried-and-tested 1.0-litre TR-1 High Output engine, which offers a good mix of efficiency and sufficient power at around 115 hp. The engine is refined, runs smoothly and offers enough thrust to accelerate quickly when required - even with two people on board. This is more than enough for sporty excursions.

Waverunner with plenty of storage space

The hull made from Yamaha's NanoXcel material is light, stable and ensures easy-to-control, predictable handling. With a length of around 3.37 metres and a width of 1.24 metres, the VX Deluxe is stable in the water, but is still pleasantly agile to steer around bends. It remains good-natured, especially in slightly choppy water, which also makes it attractive for beginners. If you do fall off, you can get back on via the access step. There is also plenty of storage space.

Useful extras

The deluxe model offers some useful extras: Cruise Assist for constant speed, No Wake mode for slow driving in sensitive areas and the RiDE system for manoeuvring - all on board. The bench seat is comfortable, designed for up to three people, and even longer journeys can be completed without any problems.
