2018 Yamaha FX Cruiser Ho

Slide into the saddle of this FX Cruiser HO and you’ll notice right away how much thought went into making full days on the water easy. The tiered cruiser seat gives the driver a slightly higher, more commanding view, while your crew settles into well-contoured spots behind you. Deep, soft traction mats underfoot stay grippy when wet, and the reboarding step makes climbs back on after a swim feel effortless. Adjustable tilt steering lets you dial in a relaxed, arms-down posture for long runs. There’s also plenty of room up front to stretch your legs, and the wide swim platform feels almost like a mini deck for lounging, gearing up, or helping kids in and out of the water.

This FX Cruiser HO is a smart pick for local waters where conditions can change from glassy mornings to choppy afternoons. The longer hull and planted stance help it track straight through boat wakes and afternoon wind chop, while still feeling playful in sheltered coves. With three real seats and a generous rear platform, it doubles nicely as a tow rig for tubes or a comfortable cruiser for family sandbar days. The naturally aspirated 1.8L engine delivers strong pull without the fuel thirst of a supercharged unit, which pays off on longer exploratory rides between launch ramps, marinas, and quiet shoreline spots.
