Yamaha VX Cruiser HO: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Yamaha VX Cruiser HO is a new addition to the VX series, featuring a race-proven 1.8-liter engine combined with advanced ride technology. This model aims to deliver a blend of adrenaline-pumping performance and comfortable cruising, making it a notable option in the personal watercraft category.

Technology and Controls

The VX Cruiser HO incorporates several innovative technological features starting at the handlebars. On the right side, three buttons control cruise functions: the lower button sets cruise mode, allowing the rider to maintain a chosen speed by squeezing the throttle trigger fully; the two buttons above enable incremental speed adjustments. A blue button activates no wake mode, setting a slow cruise speed suitable for restricted areas. On the left handlebar, the red engine stop button is positioned alongside the trigger for ride technology. Squeezing the left trigger engages reverse, and at full throttle, it slows the watercraft before deploying the reverse bucket, effectively acting as an anti-lock braking system for watercraft. This system provides controlled stopping power without abrupt rider displacement. Steering is responsive in reverse due to the thrust being directed out the side by the bucket. The instrument panel features dual fixed mirrors flanking a digital display for clear visibility.

Engine and Hull

Powering the VX Cruiser HO is Yamaha's 1812cc, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke high-output marine engine. This engine is well integrated into the watercraft, with ample space on either side for maintenance access and conveniently located checkpoints. Complementing the powertrain is the new Nano XL hull, designed to be lighter, stronger, and more responsive. This hull enhances speed and maneuverability while maintaining structural integrity.

Storage and Exterior Features

The VX Cruiser HO offers a total of 24.6 gallons of storage distributed across three compartments. The largest compartment is located at the front, accessible via a latch above the instrument panel, and includes a fire extinguisher. Additional storage is found ahead of the driver and in a watertight, removable compartment beneath the seat. The rear deck is a full-size reboarding platform ideal for towing activities, featuring a flip-down step and covered with hydro-turf non-skid material that remains cool under direct sunlight. The cruiser seat accommodates three passengers comfortably, with the rear seat designed to hold an aft-facing observer during towing.

Performance and Handling

The VX Cruiser HO measures 131.5 inches in length and 48 inches in width, with a fuel capacity of 18.5 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline. During testing with an estimated weight of 999 pounds (including half fuel and one rider), the watercraft achieved a top speed of 65 miles per hour at 7,500 rpm, consuming fuel at 13.5 gallons per hour and offering a range of approximately 73 miles at that speed. At a reduced speed of 24.2 miles per hour (4,000 rpm), fuel efficiency improved significantly, extending endurance to five hours and a range of 110 miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. The VX Cruiser HO accelerates rapidly, reaching 30 miles per hour in just 1.8 seconds. Handling is described as extremely responsive and maneuverable, with a solid, stable feel attributed to its weight and hull design. The ride quality combines speed with a luxury-like comfort, providing confidence and ease of control even at higher speeds.

Conclusion

Yamaha's VX Cruiser HO successfully merges high-performance engineering with advanced ride technology to deliver a personal watercraft that is both thrilling and comfortable. Its thoughtful design, from the responsive controls to the durable hull and ample storage, makes it a versatile choice for riders seeking speed without sacrificing ease of use or comfort. The test results highlight its impressive acceleration, handling, and fuel efficiency, confirming Yamaha's achievement in creating a fast yet refined watercraft experience.
