What type of motor vessel is a personal watercraft?

A personal watercraft (PWC) is a small, recreational motor vessel designed for one to several passengers, typically propelled by a jet drive system. PWCs are often operated by standing or sitting on them rather than inside a cabin, allowing for agility and maneuverability on the water. Commonly known by brand names like Jet Ski, Sea-Doo, and WaveRunner, they are used for leisure activities such as racing, cruising, and water sports.
