Personal Watercraft & Jet Ski Maintenance and Repair
Personal watercrafts (PWC), particularly jet skis, have become a quintessential part of a complete yachting experience. These water toys and popular power sport vehicles can get the adrenaline running and keep a whole family entertained while on a cruise. When it comes to zooming through the waves on a "personal" sized watercraft, nothing beats riding a jet ski.
That is just one of the reasons why many yacht owners choose to equip their vessels with at least a couple of personal watercrafts. And just like accompanying yacht tenders and other secondary vessels, personal watercraft maintenance and repair should be included in your regular yacht maintenance schedule for optimal performance and safety. Our certified yacht technicians offer comprehensive PWC and jet ski maintenance and repair services at our Fort Lauderdale marina and boatyard.
What is Considered a Personal Watercraft?
Historically, the term "personal watercraft" referred to a small single-passenger, stand-up recreational vessel. According to the United States Coast Guard, a personal watercraft is a vessel, under 16 feet in length, propelled by an inboard engine and pump-jet. Throughout the years, especially within the last decade, the personal watercraft market has not only grown exponentially, but it has also broadened.
Single-passenger jet skis, also known as wave runners or water scooters, remain the personal watercraft of choice for the majority of yacht owners. However, the umbrella term now encompasses multi-passenger jet skis, wetbikes, flyboards, underwater jet skis, and other kinds of jet-drive recreational watercraft. There seems to be a new model of personal watercraft being released every season. While keeping up with the latest marine technology is fun, proper personal watercraft maintenance and repair work ensures your water toys last longer and perform at their best.

Consistent maintenance of your PWC ensures the vessel maintains optimum performance and sticks to top safety standards. Our certified yacht technicians are experts at maintaining and repairing a personal watercraft's 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine, electrical wiring, pump area, flush and exhaust system, fiberglass body, and exteriors.
Jet ski maintenance after saltwater is particularly important to prevent corrosion. After some time, you may need to schedule a complete cleaning or painting job.
