How the Yamaha AR195 Sport Boat Provides the Ultimate Family Fun and Safety on the Water

​The Yamaha AR195 Sport Boat is a true beauty on the water. This boat featured a striking red tow tower with an integrated Bimini top that folds easily for storage. As you step aboard, you'll appreciate the classic layout of the two-tiered swim platform with integrated seats - a design that Yamaha has wisely kept intact. The aft-facing seats on the well-padded swim platform are perfect for enjoying the view, and the wet storage space and easy-to-access pump cleanout access port make maintenance a breeze. With a centreline swim ladder that pulls out from underneath the platform, you can be sure that the deck remains unencumbered and safe for little ones.

As you step into the cockpit, you'll find an L-shaped bench across the stern and up the port side, with a smartly added aft-facing spotter seat with a padded seat-back in the companion seat position. The removable table is mounted to the starboard side of the cockpit liner, creating a dinette when you swivel the captain's chair around. The in-floor locker is massive, as is the storage area under the companion-side windshield. The snap-out carpet allows you to enjoy the water all day and then add the dry carpeting back in for a nice evening cruise.

​Moving up to the bow area, you'll find great space thanks in part to the side beam that is carried forward almost all the way to the bow. This creates a great open space with two forward-facing seats, and a centre aft-facing seat with a nicely padded backrest, grab handles, cupholders, and two speakers so everyone can hear the tunes.

​The engine produces a pleasing harmonic sound at all speeds. The feel behind the wheel is very predictable at any speed thanks to Yamaha's patented Articulating Keel, which also makes this jet boat easy to maneuver, especially in No Wake Mode/Cruise Assist or around the dock, the locks, or in close quarters.

The Yamaha AR195 offers two color options: a black hull with red and white graphics and a red tow tower, or a gray hull with red and black graphics and a gray tow tower. Both options come with a painted trailer with swing-away tongue.
