Abstract
A watercraft includes a vessel body, a marine propulsion device and a guide. The marine propulsion device is attached to the vessel body and includes a water stream generator that propels the vessel body. The guide is provided on the vessel body and extends astern of the vessel body and toward a center of the vessel body in a width direction of the vessel body from a position located sideward of the water stream generator. The guide inwardly directs water flowing on one lateral side of the vessel body such that confluent timing of the water flowing on the one lateral side of the vessel body and water flowing on the other lateral side of the vessel body is caused to occur earlier than when the guide is not provided on the vessel body.
