The best...personal watercraft

A stand-up paddleboard, a sea kayak, a jet ski, and more

Delta 15.5 Expedition
The Expedition is the “minivan” of sea kayaks—with plenty of space for knees and cargo. But its lightweight and shallow hull also makes it surprisingly quick and stable.

Kawasaki Ultra 300X
The Ultra is once again the most powerful jet ski available: The latest model can “generate dizzying acceleration.” But more impressive still is the craft’s “newfound handling prowess.”

Wave Sport Project X
This towable kayak is roomy inside but trim outside for greater control and maneuverability. A “radical play machine,” it pops off loops and other aerial stunts as if by instinct.

Rave Tirade
Two kids can enjoy a “sports-car-like ride” together while cruising waves in this inflatable towable. Even when passengers catch air, the low center of gravity helps keep them upright.
