A WetBike is a planing motorised personal water craft that is often described as cross between a motorcycle and a jet ski. The original Wetbike was introduced in 1978 by Spirit Marine, a subsidiary of Arctic Enterprises (now known as Arctic Cat).

The original Wetbike was designed by Nelson Tyler, who became well known for his film industry camera mounts known as the "Tyler Mount". It was based on a motorcycle, replacing the wheels with skis and using a pump-jet for propulsion. It debuted in 1978, a few years after the Kawasaki Jet Ski, by Spirit Marine, a subsidiary of what is now Arctic Cat.
