water vehicle /watercraft


Explanation:
Water Vehicle is Yamaha's name for its versions of the sit-down personal watercraft that became popular in North America in the 1970s for their motorcycle-like ride. Unlike outboard motors that use propeller for propulsion, the propulsion system on a Water Vehicle draws in water from intakes on the hull bottom, pressurizes it and shoots it out the stern to provide a kind of jet propulsion. Water Vehicles and Yamaha's larger jet boats can be used for a wide range of marine recreation, from fun riding to towing skiers, and they are also being used increasingly today as a rescue craft for life guards in many countries.

fluvial (transport) vehicle


Explanation:
fluvial (transport) vehicle x maritime (transport) vehicle

If we were talking about boats, I'd rather say river boats, but in this case I believe fluvial (transport) vehicle is better.

river transport


Explanation:
I wouldn't use "vehicle" used for transport on water. To me, the word vehicle suggests a wheeled form of transport for use on land. I would translate this phrase as "land, river and maritime (or seagoing) transport (or means of transportation).

Sorry, ignore the word "used" after "vehicle". I meant to delete it before submitting.
