We know that the WaveBlaster might be the talk of the town, but Yamaha’s 2027 WaveRunner lineup is not about one new machine. It’s about giving riders a remarkably broad array of ways to use a personal watercraft.
Putting the WaveBlaster aside—we have a whole story dedicated to it if you want to learn more—the range of new models stretches from lightweight, affordable JetBlasters to luxury FX models, race-focused GPs and the decidedly unconventional CrossWave. In between are the VX models, which are the workhorses of the lineup, and the stand-up SuperJet for riders who want something that feels more like a waterborne dirt bike than a family runabout. Here’s how the 2027 Yamaha range breaks down, what’s new, and what hasn’t changed at all. And while most of the changes are minors, you’ll find big differences in the bold, blue colors throughout the lineup.c
The JetBlaster
The JetBlaster remains Yamaha’s lightweight, playful entry point for 2027. The basic formula hasn’t changed: a compact platform, Yamaha’s 1,049cc TR-1 High Output engine and a focus on lightweight, playful riding. What has changed, however, is the way that it’s now a mainstay; not a one-off.
The 2026 range already included the JetBlaster, DLX 2-Up, DLX 3-Up, PRO 2-Up, PRO 3-Up and LTD. For 2027, Yamaha continues that broad JetBlaster strategy, with the current lineup listing the JetBlaster, DLX 2-Up, DLX 3-Up, PRO 2-Up and PRO 3-Up. Yamaha’s current 2027 pricing starts at $8,999 for the base JetBlaster and reaches $12,899 for the PRO 3-Up and LTD.
What’s different from 2026: The important distinction for 2027 isn’t a radically different engine or hull. It’s that Yamaha continues to offer multiple versions of essentially the same lightweight concept, allowing buyers to choose between simplicity, two-up riding, three-person capacity and the more freestyle-oriented PRO models.
The VX Line
The VX is where Yamaha’s 2027 lineup starts to get interesting because the basic family remains familiar, but the engine split tells you more about what Yamaha wants buyers to spend their money on.
The 2026 VX lineup consisted of the VX-C, VX, VX Deluxe, VX Cruiser, VX Cruiser HO, VX Limited and VX Limited HO. The naturally aspirated 1.9-liter High Output four-cylinder was already available in the VX Cruiser HO and VX Limited HO, while the less expensive models used Yamaha’s three-cylinder TR-1 or TR-1 HO engines.
That same basic hierarchy carries into 2027. Yamaha isn’t trying to make every VX faster; instead, it’s maintaining a clear ladder: buy the less expensive VX models for recreational versatility, or step into an HO model when performance becomes a priority. The 2027 lineup starts at $11,599 for the VX-C and reaches $17,399 for the VX Limited HO.
What’s different from 2026: There isn’t a major new VX hull or engine announcement to dominate the story. Instead, Yamaha is refining an already-established lineup, with the 1.9L HO continuing to distinguish the higher-performance versions.
The FX Family
The FX family is perhaps the clearest example of Yamaha taking an established platform into another model year rather than starting over.
The 2026 FX range already consisted of five models: FX HO, FX Cruiser HO, FX SVHO, FX Cruiser SVHO and FX Limited SVHO. The 2027 lineup retains that same five-model structure. The major 2027 story isn’t a new FX hull. Rather, Yamaha is continuing to offer two distinct engine philosophies within the flagship family: the naturally aspirated 1.9L HO and the supercharged 1.8L SVHO. Yamaha’s 2027 lineup describes both engines as available across the FX range. The pricing also moves upward for 2027, with the FX HO starting at $17,899 and the FX Limited SVHO topping the range at $22,999.
What’s different from 2026: The overall FX recipe remains remarkably similar. The 2027 range is an evolution of the existing luxury platform rather than a new-generation FX. So if you already own a recent FX, there isn’t an obvious reason to upgrade simply because the calendar changed. For a new buyer, however, the FX remains Yamaha’s answer for riders who prioritize comfort, technology, storage and long days on the water.
The GP
We’re going to be honest: The GP has very little changes.There are still two versions: the naturally aspirated GP HO and supercharged GP SVHO. Yamaha lists them at $17,499 and $19,999 respectively. The interesting part is that Yamaha hasn’t diluted the GP formula by turning it into another broad recreational family. It remains a relatively focused performance offering. The 1.9L HO gives riders a naturally aspirated route into the GP, while the SVHO provides the supercharged option for riders who want Yamaha’s maximum performance-oriented engine.
What’s different from 2026: Very little fundamentally changes. The GP continues into 2027 with the same two-model strategy and the same HO/SVHO engine choice. Yamaha seems comfortable with the GP exactly where it is. If you were hoping for a dramatically revised race platform for 2027, this isn’t that year. It’s about refinement rather than reinvention.
The StandUp SuperJet
The SuperJet is another model where the lack of major change is relevant to the story. The SuperJet is fundamentally different from everything else in Yamaha’s sit-down lineup, so its continued presence is significant even without a major redesign. Yamaha continues to position the SuperJet as its stand-up machine, and the 2027 model remains at $11,999.
What’s different from 2026: Again, there’s no obvious ground-up mechanical change announced. The SuperJet carries into 2027 as Yamaha’s dedicated stand-up option.
The CrossWave
This is arguably the biggest non-WaveBlaster change when you look at 2027 through the lens of 2026: the CrossWave is now a member of the Yamaha line-up.
The CrossWave was new for 2026, with Yamaha announcing it for Spring 2026. It brought an entirely different concept to the WaveRunner family: walkaround deck access, enormous storage, fishing capability and a 26.4-gallon fuel tank. Yamaha lists the CrossWave at $32,499 and continues to position it as a machine built around storage, distance, utility and freedom rather than conventional PWC performance.
Its specifications remain remarkable for a machine wearing a WaveRunner badge: 82 gallons of storage, seating for up to four, a full walkaround deck, a 26.4-gallon fuel tank and Yamaha’s 1.9L HO engine.
What’s different from 2026: The CrossWave isn’t new anymore. That’s important. 2026 introduced the concept; 2027 establishes it as a permanent part of Yamaha’s product strategy.
