A personal watercraft comprising:

• a ship body including a deck and a hull;
• an impeller that generates a jet water flow;
• an impeller passage in which the impeller is disposed, the impeller passage having a first water intake opening and a first discharge opening;
• and
• a recovery water passage in the hull, the recovery water passage being independent from and unconnected with the impeller passage, the recovery water passage having a second water intake opening through which water can be taken in when the ship body planes on a water surface and a second discharge opening through which taken water is discharged,
• wherein:
• the recovery water passage includes a filter accommodation space that accommodates a filter that traps foreign matters which are 10 mm or less in size contained in water flowing through the recovery water passage, and
• the impeller passage pressurizes water taken in from the first water intake opening and ejects the water from the first discharge opening.
