Jet boats bring a different kind of confidence to East Tennessee boating. Without an exposed propeller beneath the hull, families with young swimmers and tubers gain a meaningful layer of safety — a priority that resonates with the Knoxville lake crowd gathering at Fort Loudoun's busy swimming coves every summer weekend. Jet propulsion also means shallower draft, so you can explore the upper reaches of Tellico Lake and navigate the occasional low-water stretches on Melton Hill without worrying about prop strikes. Handling is where jet boats truly stand apart. The responsive, almost sports-car-like steering makes docking at crowded Knoxville-area marinas less stressful and turns tight cove navigation into something genuinely fun. Several models in our lineup combine jet power with bowrider-style seating, giving you the open-air experience of a traditional runabout with the added maneuverability and safety of jet drive. Premier Watersports' West Knoxville showroom stocks jet boats from Yamaha and other leading builders, ranging from compact 19-foot models perfect for a couple to 25-foot platforms built for full-family days on the water. Our sales staff can explain the differences between single and twin jet configurations and help you select the horsepower and layout that match your primary lake and passenger count.
