Side by Side Jet Ski's and
Side by Side PWC's


Where are the side by side jet ski's? Back in the 1990's, there were numerous side by side pwc models released. The side by sides were attractive, comfortable, and definitely quite agile. The side by side jet ski did not however catch on in the same manner as the forward reverse (or inline) seating arrangement. It may have been an issue with balance and center of gravity or it could have simply been styling. If it's side by side seating and only one person were on the pwc it is possible it would list to one side. This is also a possibility with two passengers of unequal weights.for example one child and one adult. As for rider safety, the jury is still out on this one.

Kawasaki produced side by side jet skis's back in the 1990's. Some models were the Sport Cruiser and the JC550. They were briefly popular and are now revered as classics. We are currently accepting side by side jet ski pictures into our gallery. There's no question, there were a wonderful concept, but to this day there are still difference of opinion regarding their feasibility out on the open water.

What are your thoughts on side by side pwc's?

Is it true that side by side jet skis had steering problems with only one rider.

I'd like to go for a cruise on a side by side jet ski. They pretty much seem like a novelty but I think it would be interesting.

Was Kawasaki the only company to make side by side jets skis? I can't seem to find much info on side by side pwc's. Were they just a flash in the pan??

The side by side pwc's went the way of the wooden wheel. They are definitely a cool piece of watercraft history but I don't think they were practical. Ultimately they didn't sell well... and that's why no one makes them anymore. Personally I never rode one but i would love to take a side by side for a spin around the lake. They do look like fun.

Has Yamaha ever produced any kind of side by side Waverunner? I feel Yamaha is the leader in personal watercraft, it would be nice to see some kind of Yamaha side by side pwc.....
