Why You Want a Personal Watercraft
If you love zooming around on the water but aren’t sure a boat is the right call for you, then good news—a personal watercraft, or PWC, might be the right call! These compact but powerful marine vehicles are affordable, versatile, good for you, and can go places boats can’t.
We here at East Bay Motorsports want to help you find the perfect ride, so we’ve gone into some of the benefits of PWCs below to see if one might be right for you. To learn more, or to see the PWCs we have for sale, contact our store in Hayward, California, today!
Affordable
Anyone whose primary goal is to just hit the water at high speeds will appreciate the price point on the average PWC. Even a brand new personal watercraft might come in at around $5,000, which is nothing when compared to most boat prices—especially if you want to really get wind and spray in your face! They’re also more fuel efficient, so where a full day of boating might cost you $150 in fuel, that same time on a personal watercraft might only cost $30.
Versatile
There are many shapes, sizes, and specialties in the personal watercraft family, and each model is flexible in how and where it’s used. Larger ones can hold up to three passengers and can easily tow watersports enthusiasts, and all of them are great for performing tricks, racing, and just getting your adrenaline rush for the day.
Health Benefits
These machines aren’t just a fun toy—they’re a full-body workout! Steering and staying balanced on a PWC activates your core, arm, and leg muscles, and it can also improve your sense of balance, coordination, and heart health. Even just riding one for 30 minutes can help you burn up to 250 calories! And that doesn’t even go into the mental health benefits of endorphin rushes, time spent outside, and physical activity.
Exploration
Last but not least, PWCs are much, much smaller and lighter than most boats. This means that they don’t sink as far down into the water, which combined with their smaller footprint means you can access waterways you previously might not have been able to. Explore rivers and tributaries, find new and remote swimming, fishing, and snorkeling spots, or just new places to play around in!
Easy Storage
As an added bonus, the low size and weight of a personal watercraft means they’re far easier to store and transport to and from the water. Tuck it away in your garage or shed when you’re not using it and use smaller, more convenient trailers to get it where you need it. You won’t even need an overly-powerful tow vehicle!
