Any modern PWC is also far more maneuverable than any powerboat or sailboat I have ever owned.

Like any sport or hobby, maybe a few jerks can give a lasting impression, but PWC have come a long way....even old cranky people ride them now.
I own a 3-seat PWC, and can say I have been thrown off a couple times. I can also say that in all cases, I was "asking" for it. No, I wasn't trying, but I sure deserved it. Early this spring (yes, it was on that warm day in April), I got thrown off, mainly due to a sharp turn, and a brand new bathing suit, which was very slippery. But I still deserved it.

Sea Doo makes a 4-seat PWC called the LRV. I am not sure they still make it though. I think Yamaha had a 4-seat model as well.
