2011 Yamaha Boats 242 Limited S

Yamaha has always been at the forefront of innovation, and when they launched the 240 Series it was no different. The Yamaha 242 Limited S was produced for five years with the compact family jet boat soaring in front of the competition when it came to an exceptional ride, smooth handling, and speed.

At just over 21 feet in length, the 242 Limited S is an easily trailerable and lightweight fiberglass bowrider, but it’s still able to accommodate 10 passengers for watersports, family fun, and cruising on coastal and inland waters. It’s also packed with features to make the day enjoyable - from the removable dinette to the swim platform, the wakeboard tower, and the Bimini top. 

Yamaha made some big changes when they produced the 242. One of the most noticeable is the reduced noise. While jet boats were known to be noisier, significant engineering changes along with sound-deadening materials resulted in a much quieter ride, although noise levels are still above those on a sterndrive. The entirely new hull and deck design pushed the boundaries of jet boating innovation, resulting in a smooth and responsive ride. 

Jam-packed with features, this Yamaha 242 Limited S is turn-key ready and made for days on the water with the whole gang. Entertainment is provided by a Polk marine stereo with Bluetooth capabilities, and flush-mounted speakers (and jazzy LED lights) in the wakeboard tower. There’s the portside entertainment area and a removable integrated cooler box for refreshments for the day.

This series is primed for watersports - with both a tow point between the stern seats for towables, and another on the easy-to-fold watersports tower (which also has a Bimini). Combine that with the watersports locker by the low, spacious swim platform, and the ability to set the “no wake mode” control, and you’ve got an impressively high-performance wake boat. 

On the helm, with its comfortable captain’s and co-pilot swiveling bucket seats, is a 7” touch screen Connext control system, which gives easy and intuitive control over everything from the engine functions to the broad menu. 

The 242 Limited S carries up to 10 comfortably, thanks to its spacious aft seating, removable dinette table, and stern seats by the swim platform.
