SMOKY MOUNTAIN JET BOATS
One of the newest and hottest watersports
adventure attractions is the “jet boat ride.”
An adrenaline-pumping combination of roller coaster
and whitewater rafting, highly maneuverable jet boats
skim across the water, zig and zag in exciting turns,
and even spin full 360s. The “Wow!” factor entices
spectators to join the fun, and best of all, jet boating
is suitable for all ages!
Smoky Mountain Jet Boats is a leading manufacturer
of New Zealand-style jet boats. We pride ourselves
on the quality of the craftsmanship, ease of
maintenance, and simplicity of design.
We provide total support, enabling a profitable water
sports business using our jet boats and requiring
minimal capital, staffing and insurance costs.

We offer 12 and 25-passenger boats in varying
lengths and dead rise for variable conditions,
enabling you to choose the design that bests suits
your venue.
12-PASSENGER BOATS
20 feet long, these boats can be built with an
8-degree or 12-degree rise. We recommend the
12-degree to comfortably handle waves and chop
less than 1.5’. The 8-degree boat will spin a full 360
degrees but requires completely flat water.
25-PASSENGER BOATS
We manufacture two 25-passenger boats.
25’ GAS OR DIESEL
These boats spin with ease, have a shorter nose,
smaller engine bay, and a 10-degree or 15-degree
bottom. There are two options for the jet unit:
l Hamilton 212 - mechanical reverse and needs to
be taken out of the water every day.
l HJ 213 – hydraulic reverse, higher grade
stainless drive shaft, and can be left in the water.
Top speed 40 knots loaded, operational at 30 knots.
The performance with the Steyr diesel (see Engines
below) is an excellent package and will prove to be
very economical.
30’ DIESEL
These boats have a longer bow and bigger engine
bay. This boat is very seaworthy and provides an
exciting ride – spinning 270 degrees. Powered by
your choice of diesel engines with a Hamilton 241 jet
creates great results. Top speed of 40+ knots loaded,
operational at 30 knots.
Choose from a variety of engines.
GAS: We use a LS 3 GM base Corvette Motor that
delivers 415 hp in a lightweight package.
Diesel: We recommend the Steyr SE306 which
produces a whopping 300 hp at 4300 rpm. It can be
coupled with the HJ212 or HJ213 and is proven to
work well in either the 12-passenger or the 25-seater,
drastically reducing operating and fuel costs.
Combining our skills and craftsmanship with marine
grade 5000 series aluminum results in a good
looking, strong, light and long-lasting boat.
Shallow Draft - Once on plane our 12-seaters only
require a 4” draft, the 25-seaters only 6”; the boats
need 18” to 24” respectively to get up on plane.
We have done all the leg work to make sure our
boats meet USCG standards – the most stringent in
the maritime world.
Our excellent designers include Maxwell & Hall out
of New Zealand and Rob Norton, PE from
Swiftwater Consultants in Tampa, Florida.
We utilize American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)
international standards for Naval High Speed Craft
of 65’ specifications: therefore meeting/exceeding
all international standards.
Designs are reviewed and approved by the USCG.
In the USA we deliver you a boat with a Certificate
of Inspection from Sector North Carolina and will
assist with your local USCG and “New to Zone”
inspection, including liasion with the Local Officer in
Charge of Marine Inspection (OCMI).
Captains requirements:
l 25-ton Masters license
l Complete a training program
l Write an operations and safety management
system for your ride. Assistance and templates are
provided with purchase.
Boats come with 1 color Awl Grip 2000 paint. A full
graphic design package for both the boat as well
as your operations (website, rack cards, business
cards, etc.) is available. Contact: Maria Noakes at
