A personal watercraft capable of preventing sea water or other water from remaining in intake system components. A personal watercraft is configured such that a saddle-type seat is disposed at approximately a central portion of a body. An engine is mounted under the seat with an axial line of the engine extending in the longitudinal direction of the body with cylinders provided in the engine extending along the longitudinal direction of the body. First to fourth intake pipes communicate with the cylinders and extend from a side surface of the engine. An air box for containing the first to fourth intake pipes is disposed in a space between the engine and a left side wall. The air box includes, at its portion in front of or behind the first to fourth intake pipes, a swelled portion swelled inwardly of the body in the width direction. An air suction port is formed in a lower portion of the swelled portion. |
