7 Jet-Powered Yachts That Bring Speed and Performance to the Water

From a 27-foot runabout to a 165-foot superyacht, these boats show the benefits of jet power: instant acceleration and an impressive top end, not to mention turn-on-a-dime maneuverability., kevin koenig, kevin koenig's most recent stories.

Jet-propelled boats come in all shapes and sizes, carrying several advantages over more traditionally powered vessels. The propulsion units operate much like that of a personal watercraft, pairing an inboard engine to a jet pump that sends a powerful stream of water through the rear to propel and steer the vessel.

Enviable acceleration, instant maneuverability and strong top ends are the pros of jet drives. The prop-less design also benefits vessels navigating in waters with sand bars, rocky bottoms or crab pots that stop boats with propellers.

While not particularly fuel-efficient, the beauty of this specialized, niche propulsion is that it can be scaled to work on everything from jet skis to sportfishing machines to superyachts. Typically, jets appeal to owners who crave performance and perhaps the bragging rights of owning a jet-powered boat.

Our 7 favorites, from the Yamaha 27SDX to the 165-foot Mangusta REV, show the versatility of the jet drive.

Sanlorenzo SP110

Despite sleeping up to eight guests, the Sanlorenzo SP110 has, as its superpower, the ability to convert into a massive dayboat. As such, it has exceptional exterior space, including a long, empty cockpit and bow lounge forward. Both can be filled with guests on sunpads. With 6,000 total horsepower pushing its jet drives, the SP110 can hit a top speed of 40 knots and cruise at 32. This yacht is widely admired for its innovative interior. The 110-footer has a split-level upper and lower salon, both located at the after end of the boat, with unfettered ocean views. One of the beauties of jet drives mated with a hull design like the SP110 is that running on just one engine at low speeds results in exceptional fuel efficiency.

Mangusta 165 REV

There are very few yachts in the world that will turn heads like this beautiful, massive Mangusta. The 165-footer’s exceptionally low profile was inspired by sportscars of the 1930s, but its ridiculously powerful engines are definitely 2023. The 165 REV has four 2,600-horsepower Roll-Royce engines paired to Kongsberg-Kamewa waterjets. That propulsion package delivers a top end of 34 knots, which is extremely fast for a yacht this large. The 165’s interior includes four staterooms, large salon ahd full galley, but the exterior gives off a beachy vibe—most notably at the stern. The beach club, which is part of the opening transom, ends with a large, telescoping ladder that leads directly into the water.

Spencer Yachts ‘Wall Hanger’

The jet-powered 63-foot Wall Hanger from North Carolina-based Spencer Yachts is a true rarity in the sportfishing world. The yacht’s cockpit looks like most pelagic-centered convertibles, with a fighting chair, mezzanine seating, and plenty of fishboxes and other dry stowage. But where Wall Hanger takes a left turn is in the engine compartment. The owner wanted the boat to have an under-four-foot draft to access the dock at his vacation home, so he opted for twin 1,700-horsepower Caterpillar engines matched to waterjets. The engines offer a top speed of 51 knots and a cruise of 40 knots—which make running to distant fishing canyons to hunt billfish easy work.

Seven Seas Hermes Speedster

From Greek builder Seven Seas comes one of the prettiest little boats you’re likely to see anywhere—the Hermes Speedster. The 22-footer has retro styling inspired by the Porsche 356 roadster, a precursor to the 911. That includes eye-grabbing touches like a rearview mirror, a convertible top, stainless analog gauges at the dash, and supple leathers throughout the interior. With its 170-horsepower Bombardier Rotax engine, the Speedster can hit 45 knots. But the compact size, combined with jet propulsion, also means the boat can spin on a dime. Fully equipped, the Hermes Speedster sells for about $250,000.

Hinckley Talaria 57

Few builders know more about jet boats than Hinckley. The Maine-based shipyard is world-famous for Down East vessels inspired by the working lobster boats that patrol the New England coastline—though Hinckley adds a lot more luxe and glam to its designs. Propless jet propulsion, Hinckley decided, would be the best power choice to ensure its Picnic Boats and Talaria could navigate Maine’s rocky coast. The flagship Talaria 57 above comes in both flybridge and coupe versions, boasting a top end of 40-plus knots and cruise speed of 35. With its two staterooms, the 57-footer makes for an excellent weekender.

AB 100 Superfast

Italian builder AB didn’t mince any words naming this 100-foot-long megayacht. With triple 2,600-horsepower MTUs, the AB can top out at a nearly unheard of 60 knots, or a blistering 69 mph. The boat is not just fast, but truly high performance, with excellent acceleration and a deep-V hull that slices rough seas with ease. The four-foot draft also means it can run in shallow harbors that would be inaccessible to other boats its size. This 100-footer has multiple layout options for  accommodations, while the rest of the interior is also customizable.

Yamaha 275SDX

This Yamaha flagship excels both on lakes and coastal waters. At its heart, the 275SDX is all about entertaining, which means it can be packed from the open stern to the open bow with guests. Mirroring lounges in the bow, twin lounge chairs at the transom, and more seating amidships make this a great boat for young families with friends in tow. Twin 225-horsepower engines offer not only quick acceleration but an impressive speed of 53 mph. Yamaha’s Drive Throttle control system also makes docking and maneuvering at slow speeds much easier. The system incorporates a toggle on the steering wheel that can move the boat forward or in reverse, without needing to ever let go of the wheel. This 27-footer is an example of how jet power has gone mainstream in the runabout market.

Meet Paul Spencer

• By Harry R. Hindmarsh
• Updated: February 27, 2019

As one of the world’s most prolific custom boatbuilders, Paul Spencer understands the value of hard work, and the importance of family. A Spencer Yacht can be found in just about every marlin destination in the world, as well as on top of tournament leaderboards from Costa Rica to Cabo San Lucas. Today, his hair is flecked with sawdust as he checks on several new builds in progress, sea-trials a boat nearly ready for delivery, meets with engine manufacturers, and welcomes new customers who are hoping to secure a coveted production slot. It’s just a typical day in the life of this Wanchese, North Carolina-based charter captain turned builder. And he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Q: What misconceptions exist about boatbuilding?

A: It’s not magic, there’s a lot of work involved in making a really wonderful boat. For me personally, the boat has to look good and perform really well. I learned a long time ago that there are some simple principles involved and if you don’t stray too far from those, you can produce a pretty good product; one that your customer will be proud of and love. And a happy customer is really where the magic happens.

Q: Where did you get your love for fishing and boats?

A: My grandfather was a commercial fisherman and I grew up around the water. Our neighbor at the time was rebuilding a boat and when it was complete, I begged him to be a mate. When I saw the tunas, dolphin and marlin in the Gulf Stream, I knew I had found my passion. It was later in life that my father-in-law [boatbuilder Sheldon Midgett] encouraged me to start building. He taught me the fundamentals that helped me in what eventually became my career.

Q: Any hobbies?

A: Fishing really is my passion. I’ve been very blessed to be invited on some very nice boats and I get to fish in some amazing places. I hunt a little bit, but fishing is my real hobby.

Q: What advice would you give yourself 20 years ago?

A: To stick with it and keep going. Twenty years ago, I was naïve enough to think I could build a decent boat. I thought, ‘If someone else can build it, why can’t I?’ I remember my sister-in-law saying, ‘You can’t build a boat,’ — I told her I could, and I did. Many years later, she apologized, and we have a good laugh about it now.

Q: What have you sacrificed along the way?

A: In the beginning, everything. My brothers are lawyers and doctors and have done very well for themselves. Having a wife and kids, along with the dedication to start and build a business from scratch, was not always easy at times but I kept going. When I look back today, this little company has taken me all over the world to places I had only imagined. I’m happy to say I do not have any regrets.

Q: Are there any limitations in the boats you build?

A: Not really. If a customer wants something, we’ll find a way to make it happen. Sometimes we get requests that I never thought of and once we pull it off, we decide to apply it to other boats. So, in some ways, those situations help us grow.

Q: Why do you do it?

A: Because I love it. I love everything about boatbuilding and honestly, I love the boats we build. The hardest part for me is seeing the boat leave. There is a very big part of us in these boats and we take great pride in our builds. I always look forward to seeing them again someday, somewhere in the world.

Q: You just completed Hull No. 100 — any other favorites?

A: My second hull, Anticipation , was a very special boat to me. I loved the owner, I loved the boat, and it really took me to some amazing places. I won the White Marlin Open and the Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament in a boat that we built. It’s hard to explain the feeling of building that boat from a pile of wood then having those great experiences. Not a lot of people get to do that and for me, it’s very special.

Read the Review of Spencer Yacht’s Hull No. 100, Centurion

Q: How does your time as a charter captain affect you as a builder?

A: When I approach building a boat, it’s always with fishing in mind. The way it performs, spins, turns, handles — it must do all those things very well. Our tournament record is very strong, and I’d like to think my lifetime on the water has contributed to that in some way.

Q: Do you have a favorite fishing memory?

A: I’m lucky enough to have several. It’s very rare to catch a grander, and I’ve been lucky enough to catch two, one with each son on different trips. Another favorite was when my son Daniel was 12 years old, he caught a grand slam with two extra blues. But it isn’t the accomplishments I treasure, it’s the time with my family that means the world to me.

Q: Do you remember your first blue marlin?

A: Not really, because I was around so many with my family and as a mate. I do remember my first 425-pounder and thinking that it was as big as a whale. I also remember working with Omie Tillet when we caught 27 blue marlin one summer, which was a lot for Oregon Inlet. It was very magical.

Q: What does the future hold for you personally?

A: There are several things I hope to see and do someday, like the incredible number of striped marlin in Mag Bay — I’d really like to experience that. Today, we have boats that can reach much farther places hundreds of miles offshore for days at a time. I know there is some amazing fishing in the world that is still yet to be discovered.

Q: Is jet propulsion the next big advancement?

A: We are starting to experiment more with water-jet technology, and we see it playing a big role in sport fishing. There are too many benefits to ignore: shallow draft, increased speed and maneuverability, clean trolling water. If it’s not the answer, jets will play a big part as a stepping-stone to the next big thing.

Q: Will we see a sport-fishing boat that cruises at 50 knots any time soon?

A: You won’t be waiting long; in fact, it’s just around the corner for us. Thanks to some new composites and laminates combined with post-curing the boats, we’re taking small steps that make our hulls perform better. Our last jet-propulsion boat hit 50 knots with small six-cylinder engines. The future is going to be very interesting.

Diddy's private jet tracked to caribbean island amid raids in u.s., diddy loveair private jet tracked amid raids down on caribbean island.

Diddy 's homes were raided in the U.S. to kick off the week -- but the guy's own private jet is miles away in a completely different nation ... although it's unclear if he's aboard himself.

TMZ has tracked Diddy's personal LoveAir LLC jet -- the well-known black Gulfstream 5 that Diddy has flaunted and flown for years now -- and it looks like the aircraft is currently on the ground in Antigua ... which is down in the Caribbean.

Based on the flight activity, viewed by TMZ, Diddy's jet has been up and down California between Sunday and Monday -- taking off from Sacramento Executive Airport Sunday evening around 5:30 PM PT and landing at Palm Springs Int'l Airport about an hour later.

An hour after that, around 7:30 PM PT, Diddy's jet took off from Palm Springs yet again and landed at Van Nuys Airport, which is in the L.A. area, about 30 minutes later around 8:00 PM PT. Around 9 AM PT Monday, the jet took off from Van Nuys airport and landed at some point in Antigua.

The plane is currently grounded there, although the flight data has yet to update and register him as having officially landed. In any case, it's definitely Diddy's jet ... no question.

The only thing that remains unanswered is whether Diddy is on the plane -- we don't have any evidence he is at this point ... and we also don't know what's happening on the scene.

As we reported ... two of Diddy's homes, in L.A. and MIami, were swarmed by federal law enforcement agencies Monday -- and armed officials stormed the properties, taking some people into custody ... including his sons Justin and King . Unclear if any arrests took place.

The raids are believed to have stemmed from accusations hurled at Diddy in multiple lawsuits -- which have touched on alleged human and sex trafficking, among other claims ... all of which he's vehemently denied.

We've reached out to Diddy's rep and lawyers ... so far, no word back.
