Personal watercraft

A personal watercraft (PWC)—sometimes referred to as a jet ski or jetski, after the product line by Kawasaki, or water scooter—comically referred to as a boater-cycle, is a primarily recreational watercraft that is designed to carry a small number of occupants, who sit or stand on top of the craft, not within the craft as in a boat.
