Yamaha 252SD: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Yamaha 252SD is a newly introduced 25-foot model that redefines the capabilities and space utilization of boats in this size category. Designed with a focus on comfort, versatility, and advanced technology, this vessel offers an expansive layout and innovative features that maximize both functionality and performance.

Exterior Design and Cockpit

Despite maintaining an 8-foot 6-inch beam, the Yamaha 252SD extends its dimensions outward to create a surprisingly spacious cockpit area. The cockpit features 37 inches of space between seats and a depth of 37 inches, enhancing both comfort and safety. On the starboard side, a refreshment center equipped with a marine mat surface, beverage holders, and expandable table adds convenience. The upholstery is heavy-duty with multiple tones, bead welting, and robust stitching, designed to endure marine conditions. Additional amenities include grab handles, storage nets, multiple speakers including a subwoofer on the port side, and the option to swivel the forward chairs to increase seating flexibility. The collapsible sport tower provides six feet, six inches of headroom and supports an elevated tow point at six feet, nine inches above the deck.

Bow and Storage Features

The bow area is highly versatile, allowing multiple seating configurations such as dual lounge seats, removal of cushions for open space, conversion into a sun pad, or three-across forward-facing seating. Yamaha extends the beam far forward, providing 35 inches between seats and a cockpit depth of 36 inches. The bow is equipped with integrated grab rails, speakers, beverage holders, and marine matting on steps and hatch covers. The hatch opens with gas assist struts to reveal an anchor locker and a beach reboarding ladder, complemented by a six-inch cleat for secure anchor line management. Storage is abundant throughout the boat, including under the helm console and large deck compartments. The port console serves as a utility storage area with dedicated spaces for the table and pedestal, and can accommodate an aftermarket port-a-potty, effectively creating a functional head with four feet of overhead clearance.

Stern and Additional Amenities

The stern area is designed for socializing and relaxation, featuring two-level out-facing seating with storage beneath the seat backs. Seat backs can slide forward to increase space. The starboard side includes a stereo remote and a fresh water shower, while cushions on the transom enhance comfort when sitting on the swim platform. A pedestal table base is located on the port side, and two seats can be deployed into the water, one of which converts into an in-water table, adding to the boat's versatility.

Helm and Technology

The helm is centered around a floating Connect-to-Touch touchscreen display that offers extensive functionality. It supports multiple operating modes including dual-lever, single-lever, and a drive mode optimized for docking. The home screen displays depth, fuel levels, and electronic controls, with Bluetooth connectivity and water temperature indicators. Additional screens provide GPS moving maps, target speed and acceleration for water sports, electrical system controls including lighting and freshwater pump, and a settings page. The helm features drive-by-wire technology with one-button engine start-stops and joystick control for precise maneuvering. A tilt-mounted steering wheel, comfortable 20-inch wide helm seat with a 17-inch bolster, and multiple armrests contribute to ergonomic operation. The wraparound windshield extends well back to the cockpit while maintaining ventilation.

Power and Performance

Powering the Yamaha 252SD are twin 1.8-liter naturally aspirated high-output Yamaha marine engines, each turning 14.7-millimeter stainless steel impellers within 155-millimeter high-pressure pumps, capable of reaching up to 7,400 RPM. The boat measures 24 feet 6 inches in length overall, with an 8-foot 6-inch beam and a 19-inch draft. During testing with an estimated weight of 5,343 pounds (including 30% fuel and three passengers), the vessel achieved a top speed of 43.8 miles per hour. The optimal cruising speed was 32.2 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM, consuming 13.3 gallons of fuel per hour, which equates to 2.4 miles per gallon and a range of 153 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 70-gallon capacity. The boat accelerates quickly, reaching planing speed in two seconds, 20 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds. Handling is precise and stable, with Yamaha’s engineering eliminating typical jet boat issues such as chine walk and excessive sliding during turns. The engines synchronize automatically when throttles are closely matched, enhancing control.

Docking and Maneuverability

The Yamaha 252SD features advanced drive technology that simplifies docking maneuvers. Controlled via two paddles—right for forward and left for reverse—the system allows incremental throttle adjustments and responsive handling. The boat tends to move straight toward the dock rather than drifting sideways, so effective docking involves steering hard over and applying thrust to initiate turns, alternating sides to position the boat precisely against the dock. This technology provides confident and controlled close-quarters handling.

Conclusion

The Yamaha 252SD successfully reimagines what a 25-foot boat can offer by combining spacious and versatile design, advanced technological features, and strong performance characteristics. Its thoughtful layout, durable materials, and intuitive controls make it a compelling choice for boaters seeking comfort, functionality, and enjoyable handling in a compact package.
