Looking for a jet ski that balances power, stability, and smart features for South Florida waters? The 2025 Kawasaki Ultra 160 series delivers all that—and more. Whether you're carving wakes near Haulover Sandbar, cruising past Key Biscayne, or fishing around Government Cut, there's an Ultra 160 model that fits your lifestyle.

Ultra 160 Series Overview: Built for Speed, Stability, and Control
All three models in the Ultra 160 lineup are powered by Kawasaki’s proven 1,498cc, 4-stroke inline-four engine. You’ll get crisp throttle response, confident acceleration, and reliable top-end performance—ideal for open-water runs from Miami Beach to the Intracoastal.
These models are efficient for their class, offering great fuel economy for long-distance riders. Each also features:
Deep-V hull design for confident handling in rough water
Kawasaki Smart Reverse with Deceleration (KSRD) for precise docking and slow-speed maneuvering
Spacious storage and a 20.6-gallon fuel tank for extended rides

Ultra 160LX – Premium Comfort and Sound
The Ultra 160LX is the most feature-rich model in the lineup, blending comfort and luxury with Kawasaki’s legendary performance.
Highlights:
LXury heat-resistant seat for three passengers
JETSOUND® Bluetooth audio system with handlebar-mounted controls
Premium deck padding for added comfort and grip
Signature color styling and accents
Best for:
Riders who love long days on the water with music, comfort, and room for friends. Whether you're cruising Biscayne Bay or heading toward the sandbars around Elliott Key, the Ultra 160LX delivers a premium experience.
Ultra 160LX-S – Sporty Utility Without the Extras
Prefer a sportier, no-frills ride? The Ultra 160LX-S gives you all the performance features of the LX but skips the premium trim and sound system to keep the price and weight down.
What’s different:
No audio system
Standard 3-up seat instead of the LXury seat
Simplified styling without premium accents
Slightly lighter build improves agility and responsiveness on the water
Customization tip:
While the LX-S doesn’t come with an audio system, aftermarket options are available. Ask our parts department about retrofitting audio or adding comfort accessories to enhance your ride.
Best for:
Riders focused on agility, speed, and pure jet ski performance. Perfect for weaving through the waters around Virginia Key or tearing up open stretches along the coast.
Ultra 160LX-S Angler – Fishing Meets High-Speed Fun
The Ultra 160LX-S Angler is one of the few personal watercraft built with serious fishing in mind. Based on the LX-S platform, it adds an Angler Package that turns your jet ski into a capable fishing vessel.
Fishing features include:
Rear-mounted rod holders
Cooler mounts and tie-downs
Flat deck space for casting and handling gear
Extended grab handles for securing accessories
Best for:
Anglers who want a nimble alternative to a full-size fishing boat. Drop lines near the flats of Key Biscayne or drift-fish off the edge of the Intracoastal—without sacrificing the fun and speed of a high-performance jet ski.
