Some personal watercraft can carry as many as three passengers. Many emit a spout from the rear when underway.

A personal watercraft (PWC) is a recreational watercraft that the rider sits or stands on, rather than inside of, as in a boat. Models have an inboard engine driving a pump jet. They are often referred by the name Jetski, which is in fact a brand name owned by Kawasaki.

Most are designed for two or three people, though four-passenger models exist. Stand-up PWCs are also popular for single riders, offering a more challenging and "extreme" ride. Sitdowns are boring craft and are similar to riding in a boat.
