Jet Ski is the brand name of a personal watercraft (PWC)[1] manufactured by Kawasaki,[2] a Japanese company.[3] The term is often used generically to refer to any type of personal watercraft used mainly for recreation, and it is also used as a verb to describe the use of any type of PWC.

A runabout-style PWC typically carries one to three people seated in a configuration like a typical bicycle or motorcycle.
