2019 Yamaha AR240

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Yamaha used every inch of space wisely on this AR240. The deep, secure cockpit sides give a confident ride when the afternoon chop kicks up, while the generous bow seating lets a half-dozen friends stretch out without feeling crowded. Twin jet drives free up the transom for easy boarding, and the clean, open engine bay makes routine checks simple. At the helm, the multi-function touchscreen keeps vital info and entertainment at your fingertips, and the adjustable captain’s chair lets you dial in a comfortable driving position for long runs. Storage is plentiful, with dedicated spots for boards, lines, and fenders so the deck stays clear for play.

This AR240 shines on local waterways where shifting sandbars, tight creeks, and busy channels reward a shallow-draft, jet-powered hull. With no exposed prop, you can nose in close to beaches and sandbars with extra peace of mind, and the boat’s nimble handling makes threading through weekend traffic feel controlled and predictable. The 24-foot length offers a sweet spot: big enough to handle open stretches when the breeze comes up, yet compact enough for smaller ramps and neighborhood marinas. Plenty of shaded seating and the aft lounge-style transom are ideal for long raft-ups, sunset cruises, and full days on the water without sacrificing comfort.
