I bought a 2007 Yamaha 3 seater brand new on close out in 2008. Used it for two years to teach my kids and a bunch of their friends, and as a way to get to interesting kite launches. It was a great investment in learning, safety and piece of mind for me. Sold it to a friend who did the same. I did a lot of research and most roads pointed to Yamaha.

Really consider the advice offered already. The responses are right on. We had a ski too while learning. It can work if others in your family can run the ski too. It can get real crazy out in the rough water trying to haul someone in. The bigger the craft, the better. The small jet boats mentioned are good. Anything big enough costs a lot of money, time and organization. If you have several people in your family/group that can trade off the driving and kiting it could really be a nice way to go. It is a lot more cost effective to spend the money on lessons. Things got a lot more simple after we sold the jet ski. I could just go and sign up for a lesson by myself. Then go whenever I wanted. Just throw in the kites and gear and go. Simple. That is what I like about kiting.
