Top jet skis at 2025 SCIBS

The 2025 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show hit the Gold Coast and it was an extravaganza of on-water luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology.

But amid all the luxury superyachts, fishing boats, and recreational day cruisers, there was plenty for jet-ski fans to feast their eyes on.

The personal watercraft (PWC) market is dominated by three major manufacturers – Yamaha, Sea-Doo, and Kawasaki. Of those three, only Sea-Doo and Kawasaki were at Sanctuary Cove, but both had plenty of new and popular models on display for punters to inspect.

We took a stroll around Sanctuary Cove to check them out and picked out a few of our favourites you can buy right now. Here’s the lowdown:
