Description
The 2026 Yamaha 222 S is the ultimate jet boat for families and watersports enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on power, performance, or fun. Stretching 22 feet with a generous 102-inch beam, this white-hulled beauty offers the space and stability you need whether you're carving wakes on Norris Lake or cruising to your favorite cove up near Jacksboro. Twin Yamaha 1.9L 200HP engines deliver a combined 400 horsepower, giving you the kind of thrust that turns heads and puts smiles on faces — all without a traditional propeller in the water, making it safer for swimmers and more maneuverable in tight spots.

Jet boat technology means no lower unit drag, faster response, and remarkably shallow-water capability — perfect for the varied conditions found throughout the Norris Lake region. The 2026 model brings the latest from Yamaha's engineering team, ensuring you're getting cutting-edge reliability and refinement right out of the box.

What owners & reviewers say
Based on 10 reviews from across the web
Our owners consistently appreciate the 222 S for its practical, no-fuss approach to jet boating. The interior gets real praise, especially from buyers who were initially uncertain about it but changed their minds once they saw it in person. The styling options, including the black and blue exterior with cognac interior, draw a lot of attention. For families who want a capable, spacious boat without a lot of high-tech add-ons, this model fits the bill well.
On the water, the 222 S handles moderately choppy conditions comfortably, and owners who want to run on bigger inland lakes or rougher water appreciate the twin-engine setup and generous fuel capacity over smaller single-engine alternatives. Performance holds up well in calm conditions, though with a full passenger load and gear, top speed comes down noticeably. Noise level is a consideration too: jet drive boats run louder than inboard/outboard setups, so a test ride is worth doing before you commit.
A few owners have noted some early quality concerns, particularly with trailer components. Those issues have generally been addressed through warranty service, though experiences with individual dealers vary. The 222 S is a solid everyday family boat for lakes and moderate open water, and buyers primarily focused on wakesurf-specific features may want to compare it against the XE trim.

Frequently asked questions
How does the 222 S handle rough water?
We hear from owners that it handles moderate chop and light rollers well, and the twin-engine setup gives it an advantage over smaller single-engine boats in bigger water. For frequent heavy-wave or coastal use, a larger 25-foot model would be a better fit.
How does performance change with a full load of passengers?
In calm conditions with one person aboard, owners have reached around 47 mph, but with five people, a full tank, and gear in light chop, top speed comes down to around 42 mph. Plan for that difference if you regularly run with a full crew.
Is the 222 S loud compared to a traditional inboard/outboard boat?
Jet drive engines do run louder than a traditional V8 inboard/outboard, and that applies to this model as well. We always recommend a test ride so you can decide if the noise level works for you before buying.
Are there any common issues to know about before buying?
Some early owners have flagged a few quality concerns with trailer components, particularly the jack and bow roller. These have generally been handled through warranty service, though we encourage buyers to inspect the trailer carefully and work closely with their dealer on any issues.
How does the 222 S compare to the 222 XE for wakesurfing?
The XE trim comes with built-in ballast and a wake booster, which makes it more convenient for wakesurfing right out of the box. The 222 S can be set up for wake sports, but owners say the XE is the more straightforward choice if surfing is a priority.
What is the fuel economy like?
Based on professional testing of the comparable 222 XD, expect roughly 2.1 miles per gallon at cruising speeds, with a fuel burn around 13.7 gallons per hour at that pace. The 222 S carries a 70-gallon tank, which gives you a solid range for a full day out.
