Most personal watercraft transactions are local affairs. A buyer nearby sees the listing, comes to look, and the deal is done within days. The sale of this 2023 Yamaha FX Cruiser HO through Miami Yachting was a different story entirely: five countries. Five separate buyer inquiries originating from across the world, all focused on a single, well-positioned WaveRunner listed in South Florida.
The Yamaha FX Cruiser HO is the top tier of Yamaha's personal watercraft lineup. Powered by a high-output 1.8-liter naturally aspirated four-stroke engine, it delivers strong performance, responsive handling, and a cruise-oriented riding position that appeals to both performance enthusiasts and touring-style riders. The 2023 model benefits from Yamaha's latest RiDE dual throttle system and premium comfort seating, positioning it well above entry-level watercraft in both capability and resale appeal.
Miami Yachting's listings reach an audience well beyond South Florida. Through international marine platforms and a global network of co-brokers, premium personal watercraft and smaller vessels regularly attract attention from buyers in Central America, the Caribbean, South America, and Europe, where import logistics from a Florida-based seller are often more favorable than sourcing locally. This WaveRunner was no exception.
Miami Yachting managed all five international inquiries professionally, qualifying each buyer and coordinating communication across time zones. The successful buyer was ultimately a local South Florida purchaser who moved quickly once the listing's strong interest became apparent.
The Yamaha FX Cruiser HO sold for $14,500 USD within 54 days of listing, achieving 97% of the asking price. A first offer arrived within 13 days of the listing going live. Miami Yachting handled all documentation and ensured a smooth, fully compliant transfer of ownership.
