With over 65 years of marine engineering excellence, Yamaha has built a reputation for reliability, durability, and performance. As a "Kando Creating Company," Yamaha is driven to move people with products that deliver excitement, trust, and lasting satisfaction.
Since 1995 we have been fine-tuning our design and technology to create the gold standard for family fun on the water. And Yamaha is one of the few boat manufacturers in the world that build all major boat components in-house, with the engine, jet pump, and hull optimized to the length and weight of each specific model.
From the beginning, Yamaha founder Genichi Kawakami set the standard: "It isn’t a product if it isn’t world class." Today, that commitment continues—delivering products and experiences that create value, inspire innovation, and enrich lives worldwide.
Take a closer look at how our innovation sets Yamaha apart and creates a Kando experience for our customers.
Yamaha's renowned internal propulsion system is not only reliable and fuel-efficient, it also offers the highest level of freedom achievable on the water.
The concept is simple: Water is pulled through internally housed propellers and pushed out through marine engines with high thrust points.
This technology eliminates the need for an exposed drivetrain, allowing Yamaha boats to plane quicker with less bow rise. The minimal draft makes navigating shallow areas easy.
