Abstract: An auxiliary seat attachable to the hull of a personal water craft to provide additional seat space for the passenger. In a preferred embodiment, the seat is a retractable and is foldable to an out-of-the-way position against the aft portion of the hull to allow riders to board from the rear of the water craft. The seat is pivotally secured to the rear of the hull in a deployed position supported by brace means pivotally secured at one end to the seat frame at the other end slidable in a track having a detent which is engaged by the braces when the seat is raised to the deployed use-position. The seat may also be fixed to the hull by a rearwardly extending cantilever support.
