Featuring the 2026 Scarab Lineup

South Florida’s sandbars are a staple for weekend boaters. Whether you’re cruising the New River or anchoring at Lake Boca, your boat needs to be agile, shallow-draft, and packed with features that make sandbar life effortless. The 2026 Scarab Jet Boats deliver just that—designed for comfort, performance, and versatility.

Let’s take a closer look at the new 235 and 285 LX series and why they’re perfect for Fort Lauderdale’s boating scene.

Why Jet Boats Are Ideal for Sandbar Use

• Shallow Draft: Jet propulsion allows for navigation in much shallower water than outboards, giving you front-row access to tight anchor spots.
  
  

• Propeller-Free Safety: With no exposed props, you can safely swim around the boat or beach it without worry.
  
  

• Superior Maneuverability: Ideal for weaving through crowded areas, turning quickly, and docking with precision.
  
  

• Easy Beaching: Jet boats are perfect for parking right on the sandbar and stepping out comfortably.
