A jetski on the Solent off Southsea, Portsmouth.
Jet Ski is the brand name of personal watercraft manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The name, however, has become a genericized trademark for any type of personal watercraft. Jet Ski (or JetSki) can also refer to versions of PWCs with pivoting handlepoles known as "stand-ups." Although Jet Skis are often referred to as WaveRunners, WaveRunner is actually the term referring to the Yamaha line of PWC, whereas Jet Ski refers to the Kawasaki line.
This craft looks like a Kawasaki Ultra 250X which delivers “the pinnacle of PWC performance” with its 1498cc 250hp supercharged engine derived from Kawasaki’s 1200 four-cylinder engine found in their ZX14 motorcycle, which claims to be the world’s fastest production bike. The Ultra 250X has a USBA championship race winning V-shaped hull that has a high back angle allowing for “motorcycle-like turning performance.” “The quickest and most powerful production PWC in history” comes in sunbean red, valiant blue, jet white, or lime green for a price of £10,495.
