Not the beat-up rentals everyone else hands you. These are 2026 Yamaha FX Cruiser SVHOs, the flagship of the lineup, kept in our own fleet and ready at the harbor.
Most rental operations run the cheapest, most-abused skis they can buy and hope you don't notice. We went the other way. The FX Cruiser SVHO is Yamaha's most powerful and refined personal watercraft, the one enthusiasts buy for themselves. Ours are brand-new 2026 units, meticulously maintained, and the only hands on them before yours are ours.

The benchmark. Supercharged power, a plush three-up cruiser seat, and Yamaha's smoothest, most stable hull, so it handles the lake's chop without beating you up. Connected touchscreen, electric trim, and a ride that feels more grand tourer than rental. Two pristine units, run them side by side.
