Strictly speaking, Jet Ski is the trademarked name of a personal water craft (PWC) produced by the Kawasaki Motor Company, but the term "jet ski" has become a generic name for all types of personal watercraft. While Kawasaki first marketed a Jet Ski in 1973, a smaller company called Bombadier actually created a workable personal watercraft in the late 1960s.

Another popular PWC model is called a WaveRunner.
