Perhaps the phrase “what a jet boat always wanted to be” sums it up best. Crafted with the exceptional design, engineering and quality for which Sea Ray has become so well known, the all-new 21 Jet is a true “boat” and not just a “jet boat.”
It starts with a substantial 21-foot, 6-inch length and 8-foot, 6-inch beam, boasting exterior lines, sculpting and styling that embraces the sporty, yet sophisticated, Sea Ray DNA. Six (not four) stainless-steel cleats are thru-bolted at precisely the right places for easy use when tying off. And unlike many jet boats, which come in only one or two colors, the 21 Jet is available in five choices of two-tone gel coat, in addition to a black hull bottom option and graphics upgrades.
The new Sea Ray’s generous dimensions translate into a spacious cockpit with seating for up to 10 people. The bow area has full wraparound benches and padded bolsters, allowing for nearly 360-degree utilization (an optional filler cushion creates a full-width sun pad). Stainless-steel grab handles replace the plastic ones found on many competitive models. At the nose is an anchor locker; it and the gel-coated storage compartments under the seats are molded into the finished fiberglass floor and liner system. This quality construction feature provides added moisture protection, helps in cleanup and maintenance, and creates a stronger and more solid overall design.
On the other side of the tempered/tinted glass windshield, a convertible lounger faces forward for comfort while under way, or can lie flat for stretching out. The rest of the cockpit seating consists of a big, U-shaped bench topped by marine-grade vinyl with mildew and UV protection. The portside console houses a standard Sony® stereo with CD-player and MP3 port; 12-volt accessory outlet; beverage holder and wakeboard storage inside. A cockpit floor locker, with gas assists, opens wide, so owners can easily access the interior with its full rubberized liner. A 25-quart, carry-on cooler comes with the boat and has its own dedicated storage.
Clean and compact, the helm of the new 21 Jet is reminiscent of a modern, luxury sports car. Stainless-steel hardware and bezels, along with lighted chrome toggle switches, impart a premium feel consistent with the Sea Ray aesthetic. Custom backlit gauges come with low-glare blue night-lighting and glass lenses that are more resilient than plastic ones. The tilt wheel has leathery custom padding, and the helm bucket seat swivels and slides for optimum adjustability. Different from competitive models, a single binnacle controls both of the twin engines evenly for easier operation than with dual binnacles.
