A novel rotatable seating arrangement for a motorized watercraft has an integral console with instrumentation and watercraft controls thereon to allow the watercraft's operator to control operation of the watercraft from one location, and to perform other functions, such as fishing, without obstruction from the console and from the same position while retaining the ability to control the watercraft. The seating arrangement has a generally upright pedestal fixed to the watercraft's deck and a platform pivotally mounted atop the pedestal. A seat is fixed to the platform for supporting the operator in an upright seated position, the seat and platform being rotatable about a longitudinal axis of said pedestal to make available to the operator a 360 degree viewing area while operating the watercraft from the seated position. A locking system on the platform engages the pedestal for controlling rotation of the seat. A control console for carrying watercraft instrumentation and controls is fixed to the rotateable platform adjacent the seat within reach and view of the operator to allow operation of the watercraft while seated. The control console includes a left side portion to the left side of a seated operator and a right side portion to the right side of a seated operator, which side portions are located just above the height of the base of the seat to avoid interfering with the seated operator's use of hand-held equipment. An engine throttle and shift controller is located on the left or right side portion, and a steering controller is located on the other side portion, to allow the operator to operate the watercraft in the seated position regardless of the rotation of the seat.
