Claim:
A personal watercraft comprising: an engine disposed on a lower side of a deck of a hull; a jet propeller disposed on a rear side of the engine; a jet nozzle that ejects jet water, the jet nozzle disposed on a rear side of the jet propeller; a steering nozzle supported on the jet nozzle so as to be movable in a left-right direction for determining a jet direction of jet water ejected from the jet nozzle; and a ride plate, the ride plate being set at an angle relative to a reference line, the reference line being parallel to a horizontal line of the watercraft during planning, such that the ride plate forms an upward gradient toward the rear side of the hull, wherein the axis of the jet propeller is set with a rearwardly downward gradient, and the jet direction of jet water ejected from the steering nozzle coincides with the axis of the jet propeller.
