11 reviews from owner forums, marine magazines and boating sites
Our owners describe the 252S as a lively, quiet boat that handles a full group well. Those moving up from a smaller boat mention a noticeably smoother ride through chop and wake, and owners with a full load of passengers, coolers and fuel say it keeps its pace. Reviewers add that Yamaha set out to raise the standard for a 25-foot boat and largely achieved it.
The way it gets going is different from a conventional hull. With very little bow rise, it lifts almost level as speed builds. Our owners also like the paddle-style shifters and the twin engines for close-quarters work, since both keep the driver in control around the dock.
There is some adjusting to do. First-time owners say docking takes practice, and in wind the boat needs a bit more steering input to hold a straight line. Even with those notes, the owners we hear from are happy with the boat, including families who bought it as their first.

- Owners stepping up from a smaller boat notice a smoother ride in chop and wake.

Worth knowing
- In windy conditions, the boat needs more steering input to track straight.
- Docking takes some practice for first-time owners.
- Running into a headwind can make the bow feel heavy and tilted forward.
- Minimal bow rise on acceleration feels different from conventional hulls and takes some getting accustomed to.
Common questions
Our owners report it keeps its pace with a boat full of passengers, coolers and a full tank of fuel. Acceleration out of the hole is a commonly mentioned strength.
Owners moving up from a smaller boat say the ride through chop and wake is much smoother. In windy conditions, expect to apply a bit more steering to hold a straight line.
Yes, our owners often mention how quiet it is underway. Guests accustomed to outboard and I/O boats have commented on it.
The 252S has very little bow rise, so it lifts almost level as speed builds instead of climbing out bow first. Some owners also notice a heavy-feeling bow, especially running into the wind.
Docking takes some practice, as one first-time owner told us. Paddle-style shifters keep your hands on the wheel, and using both engines to spin the boat helps in tight spaces.
Our owners include families who bought it as their first boat and enjoy it. Plan on some time to learn docking and wind handling, and many find it comes together quickly.
