wave-runner

Personal watercraft vehicle

A wave-runner is a personal watercraft—a small, jet-propelled vehicle ridden like a motorcycle on water.

The term originated as a Yamaha brand name but now applies generically to similar craft from any manufacturer: We rented wave-runners at the lake.

Also spelled as one word: waverunner.
