Sea-Doo Spark vs Yamaha JetBlaster
Entry-Level Jet Skis Compared
If you're shopping for your first personal watercraft and trying to decide between the Sea-Doo Spark and the Yamaha JetBlaster, you're in good company. These two lightweight jet skis are among the most popular choices for riders in South Florida. At Broward Motorsports Treasure Coast, your trusted Jet Ski dealer near Port St. Lucie and Stuart, we carry both models and can help you choose the right ride for your style and budget.
Whether you’re exploring the quiet stretches of the Indian River Lagoon or carving through the Fort Pierce Inlet, both the Spark and JetBlaster offer unique advantages. Here's a breakdown to help you decide.
Sea-Doo Spark: Light, Playful, and Affordable
The Sea-Doo Spark is built for affordability and ease of use. Weighing in under 425 pounds with its lightweight Polytec hull, the Spark is easy to tow, maneuver, and launch—even with a smaller vehicle. Choose between 60 hp and 90 hp Rotax engines, 2-up or 3-up seating, and add Sea-Doo’s iBR (Intelligent Brake and Reverse) system for improved low-speed control.
With a compact footprint and excellent fuel economy, the Spark is a perfect choice for cruising the shallows of the Manatee Pocket, riding with friends, or teaching new riders in calmer waters.
Yamaha JetBlaster: Sporty, Freestyle-Focused Performance
Replacing the EX series, the Yamaha JetBlaster is a playful and more aggressive alternative in the entry-level space. Powered by a 110 hp TR-1 HO engine and built with Yamaha's durable NanoXcel2 hull, the JetBlaster is ideal for riders who want to push the limits.
Designed for agility, it features raised handlebars, foot chocks for extra leverage, and Yamaha’s RiDE system for precise braking and reversing. It thrives in more dynamic conditions—perfect for carving around buoys or catching boat wakes near Jensen Beach Causeway.
Quick Comparison
Which One Is Right for You?
Go with the Sea-Doo Spark if:
If your ideal weekend involves leisurely cruises with a passenger, towing the kids on a tube through the Indian River Lagoon, and easily trailering your jet ski with a compact SUV, the Spark checks all the boxes. It’s fun, affordable, and easy to maintain.
Choose the Yamaha JetBlaster if:
You’re eager to catch air off wakes, carve aggressively around markers in the St. Lucie Inlet, and enjoy the confidence that comes from Yamaha’s RiDE system, the JetBlaster delivers a more active and exhilarating experience. It’s perfect for riders who want to evolve their skills and aren't afraid to lean into turns.
Need to Consider Both?
If you're riding solo most of the time but occasionally take a friend along, both models offer decent flexibility. Storage may be a deciding factor — the JetBlaster has more built-in capacity, while the Spark keeps things minimal. If accessories like audio systems or gear storage matter, check the available upgrade kits for both.
