Yamaha Boats for Sale at Norris Lake, TN

Yamaha's reputation for bulletproof reliability extends from their motorcycles and outboard engines to their jet boat lineup — and on a destination lake like Norris Lake, reliability is not a luxury; it is a requirement. When you haul a boat thirty miles from Knoxville or drive hours from out of state for a long weekend on the clearest water in Tennessee, the last thing you want is a mechanical issue cutting your trip short. Yamaha jet boats deliver the peace of mind that lets you focus on the water. Yamaha's marine jet drive system eliminates the exposed propeller found on sterndrive and outboard boats. For Norris Lake families who spend hours swimming, floating, and jumping off the back platform, that design provides a meaningful safety advantage. The jet drive also means shallower draft, which opens up the back reaches of Norris Lake's narrow coves — places where the clearest, calmest water often hides. The current Yamaha boat lineup ranges from the compact 19-foot AR195 to the flagship 25-foot 275 Series, with single and twin-engine configurations available. All models feature Yamaha's swim platform integration, intuitive no-wake mode, and the kind of fit and finish you expect from a brand that builds everything in-house. At Premier Watersports in Jacksboro, we carry the full Yamaha boat range and our technicians are Yamaha-certified. Visit our showroom to see which model matches your Norris Lake plans.

General

Yamaha jet boats combine legendary reliability with a no-exposed-propeller design that is safer for swimmers. On Norris Lake, where families spend extensive time in the water enjoying the crystal-clear conditions, that safety advantage matters. The jet drive's shallow draft also lets you explore Norris Lake's tightest coves.

Yes. Yamaha jet boats have no outdrive, no propeller, and no gear oil — the three most common maintenance pain points on sterndrive boats. Routine care focuses on engine oil changes and impeller inspections. Total annual maintenance costs are typically lower than comparable sterndrive boats.

We carry the full Yamaha jet boat lineup, from the entry-level AR195 and SX195 to the twin-engine 252 and 275 Series. The 252 and 275 models offer premium features, larger seating capacities, and the power for watersports on Norris Lake.

The twin-engine models — the 252 and 275 Series — are more than capable on Norris Lake's open water. They produce strong thrust, handle chop well, and offer confident performance at cruising speeds. Single-engine models are better suited for cove exploration and shorter crossings.

Twin-engine Yamaha jet boats can reach speeds in the high 40s to low 50s mph, while single-engine models top out around 35 to 40 mph. Both configurations provide plenty of speed for Norris Lake tubing, cruising, and general watersports.
