Definitions
A humorous and rarely heard slang term for a jet ski — the personal watercraft you ride sitting or standing, roaring across the water at speed. The joke in the word is obvious: a jet ski is kind of like a motorcycle for the water, so 'boatercycle' mashes 'boat' and 'motorcycle' together. It's the sort of word someone invents in the moment to get a laugh and occasionally sticks. Jet ski enthusiasts won't use it straight, but it captures the wild, reckless energy of personal watercraft culture.
He spent half the afternoon doing doughnuts on his boatercycle and getting thoroughly soaked by his own wake.
