jetboat
Water-jet powered vessel
A jetboat is a watercraft propelled by a jet of water expelled from the stern rather than by a propeller.
The design allows operation in shallow water where conventional boats would run aground: We took a jetboat through the canyon rapids.
Jetboats are popular for river tours and thrill rides.
