Based on 10 reviews from across the web
The 222 FSH Sport occupies a genuinely useful middle ground between a dedicated fishing boat and a family day boat. Our owners take it out fishing, island hopping, and just cruising with the kids, and it handles all of those roles without feeling like a compromise. The jet-drive setup means no exposed propeller, very little bow rise on acceleration, and the kind of shallow draft that opens up water a conventional outboard boat can't reach.
On the water, reviewers note the 222 gets onto plane quickly, tracks well through turns, and delivers its best fuel efficiency at higher cruising speeds. The fishing layout is well thought out, with a 26-gallon livewell, a T-top with rod holders, flush-mount gunwale rod holders, and a removable bow table that doubles as a casting platform. The stern lounge area works just as well for relaxing as it does for fighting a fish.
A few owners have flagged some finish inconsistencies from the factory, including gel coat and interior trim details that could use tighter attention. One owner had a gel coat warranty repair completed, which Yamaha handled, though the approval process took a couple of weeks. Overall, the consensus from our owners and outside reviewers is that this boat punches well above its category, and there is genuinely nothing else quite like it in the jet center-console space.
It is a real fishing setup. Our owners and outside reviewers point to the 26-gallon livewell, flush-mount and gunwale rod holders, T-top rocket launchers, raw water washdown, and a removable bow table that converts to a casting platform as features that actually get used, not just listed.
There is no exposed propeller, which makes the stern area safer for swimmers and easier to fish around. The jet drive also gives very shallow draft and minimal bow rise on acceleration, though it does draw water through internal impellers rather than a traditional lower unit, so the maintenance routine is a bit different.
Our owners and reviewers consistently find best efficiency at higher cruising speeds, in the low-to-mid 30 mph range, where the boat returns around 2.2 to 2.5 mpg. Backing down to a mid-range cruise does not improve economy much, and wide-open throttle brings consumption up significantly.
That is exactly what our owners use it for. The stern lounge, sound system, and comfortable helm make it a solid family boat, and we regularly hear from owners who use it for island hopping, dolphin watching, and lake days as well as fishing.
A small number of our owners have found minor finish issues, including gel coat inconsistencies and interior trim details that were not perfectly aligned from the factory. Most are cosmetic, and Yamaha has resolved warranty claims, though approval can take a couple of weeks.
Owners who have the Sport E consistently call out the fly-by-wire controls and push-button start as meaningful upgrades, not just convenience features. If you are deciding between the two, that feedback is worth taking seriously.
