In 1986, Yamaha introduced its first ever sit-down watercraft. This sit-down personal watercraft ignited many other companies to create their own. While stand-up watercraft are still popular, some have turned to sit-down style watercraft for racing and many have bought sit-downs for recreational use. Whatever your riding style is, Yamaha builds some of the most dependable and recognizable sit-down and stand-up machines.
Yamaha personal watercraft are all built in the USA. They have always been and always will. With the recent advancements in technology, Yamaha has invested $250 million in the past 15 years to keep up-to-date on new cutting-edge technology, rigorous testing and building an intelligent staff, all while staying in the state of Georgia. When Sea-Doo moved their watercraft production to Juarez, Mexico, Yamaha stayed and revamped it’s Newnan, GA production facility (Atlanta Business Chronicle).
Yamaha has been the number one choice for rental companies because of their dependable engines and extreme fun. This is a bold statement that Yamaha holds true because they listen to their customers and each year they enhance their products. Handling has always been a huge deal when providing products to fit all types of riders of all ages.
With the new Yamaha 2017 lineup it offers a family affordable entry-level craft, watersports enthusiast craft and a speed demon craft along with many others so that whatever riding preference you prefer, Yamaha will suit your needs. With many updates to Yamaha’s factory, this 1.3 million-square-foot plant has been the place that provides the world with the watercraft worthy of the trusted Yamaha name.
Actually, Sea-Doo plant was moved to Queretaro City in Mexico, not Juarez. they only make Can-Am’s at Juarez city! 🙂
We understand that there are three BRP plants in Mexico, correct?
Yes, two Can-Am assembly plants at Juarez city, and one Sea-Doo & Rotax assembly plant at Queretaro city, both in Mexico of course.
