2024 Yamaha AR250

Slide into the captain’s chair on the AR250 and you’ll notice how everything is laid out to keep you in command without feeling cramped—deep, secure seating, tall backrests, and a surprisingly dry ride for a wide-open bow. The forward-swept tower feels rock-solid and folds when you’re tucking into a low garage or storage rack. Under the seats and in-floor, there’s room for all the wakeboards, inflatables, and lines you can throw at it, so the cockpit stays clean even with a full crew. At the stern, the low, two-tier lounge is where everyone ends up—cushions at the water’s edge, cupholders right where you want them, and the engines tucked safely inside so kids and swimmers aren’t anywhere near a prop.

In waters where sandbars, shallow channels, and shifting bottoms keep you guessing, the AR250’s jet drive really earns its keep—no exposed props to worry about when you nose up close to shore. Its generous beam and deep, secure seating handle afternoon chop with confidence, while still being nimble enough for tight coves and narrow waterways. The wide swim platform and low draft make it perfect for beaching, rafting up, or spending the day at anchor. Add in the easy towability and folding tower, and this is a practical choice for boaters splitting time between different ramps, storage options, and ever-changing local conditions.
