Hola ana,
Un poco eufemístico, pero parece no ser otra cosa:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_watercraft
Aunque las que se conducen de pie suelen llamarse como te pongo entre paréntesis, suelen meterse en el mismo saco que las motos.
Suerte,
Álvaro :O)

Por ampliar la referencia:
A personal water craft (PWC) is a recreational watercraft that the rider sits or stands on, rather than inside of, as in a boat. Models have an inboard engine driving a pump jet that has a screw-shaped impeller to create thrust for propulsion and steering. They are often referred by the names WaveRunner, Jet Ski, or Sea-Doo, which are brand names owned by Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Bombardier, respectively.

De acuerdo al comentario de Álvaro sugiero, entonces, EQUIPOS ACUATICOS (ya que puede referirse a cualquier clase de equipo)
Good luck!

: Favor de ver: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_watercraft // Claro Mónica. Normalmente no creo que hubiese ido poniendo ese comentario a todos - el caso es que el término resulta muy engañoso, precisamente porque parece decir otra cosa. :O)
