Jet Car Basics
What is the difference between a Jet Car and a Boat / Speedboat?
What is a Jet Car?
A Jet Car is a one-of-a-kind watercraft that combines the thrill of a sports car with the freedom of a jetski. Built for adrenaline junkies and adventure seekers, it delivers high-speed excitement, sleek automotive styling, and head-turning performance—all on the water. Jet Cars are U.S. Coast Guard–approved luxury vessels, powered by reliable Yamaha marine engines: […]
How is the Jet Car classified?
Jet Cars are classified as a small boat, within compliance of the United States Coast Guard (USCG).
What is the difference between a Jet Car and a Jet Ski?
While both are personal watercraft built for fun on the water, Jet Cars and jet skis are in completely different leagues when it comes to power, size, and experience. Jet Cars are larger, more powerful, and designed to look and feel like luxury sports cars on water. They typically seat 2 to 6 passengers, include […]
How many people does a Jet Car fit?
Jet Cars are available in multiple seating configurations, including two-seater, four-seater, and select models that can accommodate up to six passengers. The seating capacity depends on the specific model you choose.
Do Jet Cars have a kill cord?
Yes. Jet Cars are typically equipped with a safety kill cord (engine cut-off lanyard) that shuts the engine off if the driver is separated from the controls. This important safety feature helps reduce the risk of the vessel continuing to move without an operator.
Can a Jet Car pull a wakeboard or a tube?
Yes, Jet Cars have plenty of power and torque to pull a wakeboard or tow a tube—but keep in mind they aren’t equipped with specialized tow mounts or towers. If you plan to tow, use the factory-installed tow hook (usually on the rear transom) and make sure all safety gear and towing ropes are rated […]
Can you use a Jet Car for fishing?
Jet Cars are designed for high-performance fun on the water — think speed, style, and thrill. While you technically could fish from one, they’re not built for it. There’s limited space, no rod holders, and no livewell — so if fishing is your main goal, a traditional fishing boat might be a better fit. But […]
Are Jet Cars available to rent?
Jet Cars are available for purchase only — we do not offer rentals at this time. If you’re looking to experience the thrill of owning one, our team is here to help you customize and purchase your very own Jet Car.
Customization

Shipping & Delivery
Does the Jet Car come with a trailer?
The Jet Car does not include a trailer by default. However, we’ve got you covered — trailers are available for purchase through us to make your experience seamless. Just let us know you need one.
How long does it take to receive my Jet Car?
Upon clearance and receipt of payment, the delivery date depends on the amount of orders in the queue and in production, model, style, engine selection, etc. Your sales rep will discuss the completion time with you and it varies by each customer.
Do you deliver my Jet Car, or am I responsible for shipping?
You handle shipping — we’re not a shipping company. What we do is prep the documentation, coordinate with your carrier, and get everything ready to move. For domestic shipping, most customers book through a third-party carrier like uShip (www.uship.com). International shipments must be handled by the customer directly; we’ll support you as the shipper with […]
Can I just pick up my Jet Car instead of shipping it?
Yes. Pickup at our shop is always an option, and it’s the simplest way to avoid shipping costs and coordination altogether.
Who’s responsible for the Jet Car once it’s in transit?
Once your vessel (and/or trailer) leaves our shop, it’s in the carrier’s hands — we’re not responsible for damage that happens after that point. This is exactly why documentation and coordination matter, and why we help prep everything before it ships.
Do you charge for shipping coordination?
Coordination fees can apply, particularly for international shipments where more documentation and communication are involved. Your sales rep will walk you through any applicable fees before you commit.
What’s involved in shipping internationally?
International shipments must be handled by the customer — we act as the shipper and support you with communication, documentation, and prep, but you’re responsible for arranging the actual transport. Coordination fees may apply given the added complexity.
Can I visit your location?
Yes, you can schedule a visit to our showroom on our website.
Registration, Warranty & Maintenance
How easy is it to register a Jet Car?
Very easy! Depending on your local and state laws, the classification for the Jet Car is a small vessel, not a personal watercraft (PWC).
Do you have warranty?
Warranties are based on the manufacturer. Some have them, and some do not. Please refer to the warranty section of our website, as well as discuss this further with your sales representative.
How is the maintenance on a Jet Car?
Jet Car maintenance is similar to that of a personal watercraft (PWC), with routine service recommended every 50 hours of use. For your convenience, Jet Gang offers complete installation and maintenance services right at our dealership to keep your Jet Car running at its best.
What Jet Car installation & maintenance services do you offer?
At Jet Gang, we provide comprehensive installation and maintenance services to keep your Jet Car in top shape. Our offerings include: Installation Services: Engine placement & alignment Jet drive installation & alignment Steering, brake, and reverse system installation Bilge pump installation GPS tracker installation (includes geofencing, diagnostic/error code readings, fuel economy data, and trip timer) […]
