Abstract

A watercraft includes a hull, a wave detector to detect wave conditions on a water surface, a trim adjuster to adjust a trim angle of the watercraft, and a controller. The controller is configured or programmed to determine, based on a detection value of the wave detector, whether or not the water surface is smooth and, if it is determined that the water surface is not smooth, control the trim adjuster to increase the trim angle.
