Yamaha has a rich history of innovations—and the trophy case to prove it. But it’s not about awards—or even staying ahead of the competition. Rather, we continue to push outboard technology further to create a better boating experience for our customers. Our innovations lower ownership and operational costs. They increase reliability, fuel efficiency and ease of boating. Ultimately, they give boaters more uninterrupted hours on the water. For us, that’s what it’s always been about. We just happen to have received a bit of recognition along the way:
Yamaha is the only outboard manufacturer in history to receive 10 consecutive Marine Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Awards.
