Yamaha VX: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Yamaha VX Cruiser represents a completely new design in Yamaha's lineup, featuring a redesigned hull, deck, and liner. This three-rider watercraft is engineered to deliver ride comfort, advanced features, and powerful performance typical of a premium model, while maintaining an accessible price point. The VX Cruiser incorporates innovative technology such as the Ride system, enhancing maneuverability and control.

Exterior Design and Rider Position

The VX Cruiser's seating arrangement is thoughtfully designed to accommodate three riders comfortably. The driver's seat offers excellent support and grip, with ample room for two additional passengers. A bolster at the rear provides secure support for a third rider, who can sit facing forward or aft. Well-positioned handholds serve both rider positions effectively, ensuring safety and comfort. The aft deck is spacious and covered with hydro-turf decking, providing superior traction and comfort for bare feet during water activities. Storage solutions include a compartment under the rear seat with a removable watertight container for dry storage, a quick-access box beneath the handlebars ideal for small items, and a large forward storage compartment capable of holding multiple personal flotation devices, towels, and other essentials. The fuel cap is conveniently accessible on the deck.

Control Systems and Technology

The VX Cruiser introduces a new digital control system on the left-hand side, featuring a ride throttle that enables seamless transitions between reverse, neutral, and forward with progressive deceleration. This system allows instantaneous switching between forward and reverse without lag or shifting, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces like marinas. The Boat Control Unit (BCU) responds to handlebar movements during deceleration, providing regulated thrust for precise directional control. The helm is equipped with a digital dash featuring a multifunction display, complemented by wide-view mirrors on both sides for improved visibility. Ergonomic grips enhance rider comfort compared to traditional round grips. Additional features include Cruise Assist, which maintains a set speed above 3,000 RPM with adjustable thumb controls, and a no-wake mode that limits speed to approximately five miles per hour without throttle input. Yamaha's security system uses a fob to lock and unlock the ignition remotely and includes a low-mode setting that restricts engine RPM for less experienced riders.

Power and Performance

At the core of the VX Cruiser is Yamaha's reliable 1052cc four-cylinder fuel-injected marine engine paired with a 155-millimeter jet pump. The watercraft is constructed using Yamaha's Nano XL, an advanced sheet-molded composite material that offers high strength and reduced weight through an ultra-strong molecular structure. Measuring 131.9 inches in length overall, with a 48-inch beam and standing 46.9 inches from keel to handlebar, the VX Cruiser has a dry weight of 730 pounds and carries 18.5 gallons of fuel. Performance testing demonstrated the VX Cruiser's ample power and excellent handling characteristics, with stable and solid ride dynamics. The ride system contributes to exceptional maneuverability and nimbleness, aided by a reverse bucket design that allows quick and accurate directional control. The watercraft achieved an average top speed of 53.1 miles per hour at 8,000 RPM while consuming 7.4 gallons per hour. Acceleration from 0 to 30 miles per hour was recorded at 2.3 seconds, underscoring its responsive performance.

Conclusion

The Yamaha VX Cruiser successfully balances ride comfort, advanced features, and powerful performance in a watercraft that remains affordable. Its innovative control systems, thoughtful design, and reliable engine make it a compelling choice for riders seeking a premium experience without a premium price. The VX Cruiser's exceptional maneuverability, stability, and user-friendly technology position it as a versatile and enjoyable watercraft for a variety of riders.
