Sea-Doo Boats: 2026 Models, Prices & Buyer Guide

Sea-Doo currently sells two very different kinds of watercraft: personal watercraft (PWCs) and Switch jet-powered pontoon boats. It does not offer a current line of conventional fiberglass Sea-Doo Sport Boats. Those older jet boats belong to a discontinued product era, while the present boat lineup is the modular Switch pontoon family.

What counts as a Sea-Doo boat in 2026?

Searchers use “Sea-Doo boat” to mean several things. The brand’s own catalog separates them into personal watercraft and Switch pontoons. That distinction affects capacity, trailering, storage, price and the type of day each machine supports.

A PWC is not simply a small pontoon, and a Switch is not a larger Jet Ski. They share Sea-Doo’s Rotax and jet-propulsion approach, but the hull, controls, passenger layout and intended use are different. Our guide to what a PWC is explains the legal and practical category distinction.

Sea-Doo personal watercraft models

The 2026 PWC range is organized by use rather than by one “best” model:

• Spark and Spark Trixx: lightweight Rec Lite models focused on affordability and playful handling.
• GTI and GTI SE: recreation models intended to balance stability, storage and family use.
• GTX, GTX Limited and Explorer Pro: touring models with more comfort, storage and long-distance features.
• GTR, GTR-X, RXP-X and RXT-X: performance models for riders who prioritize acceleration and handling.
• Wake and Wake Pro: tow-sports models with a ski pylon, board rack and Ski Mode.
• FishPro Scout, Sport and Trophy: fishing-focused PWCs with model-specific coolers, rod holders and electronics.

Sea-Doo Switch pontoon models

Switch models use a modular deck with configurable tiles, an inboard Rotax engine and jet propulsion. The absence of an outboard motor opens the stern area, while Sea-Doo’s iBR system provides braking and reverse control. Available length, horsepower, capacity and equipment vary by configuration.

• Switch: the entry family-cruising line, including a compact five-person configuration and a larger eight-person version.
• Switch Sport: adds tow-sports equipment and sport-lounge features.
• Switch Cruise: emphasizes comfort, audio, swim-platform access and cruising equipment.
• Switch Cruise Limited: packages premium displays, audio, trim and higher-output configurations.
• Switch Fish: adds fishing layouts, rod storage, electronics and model-specific livewell or trolling equipment.

These are pontoons, but their jet drive changes low-speed behavior, maintenance and shallow-water decisions compared with an outboard pontoon. See our jet-drive boat guide for the tradeoffs.

2026 Sea-Doo prices at a glance

The figures below are U.S. starting MSRPs displayed by Sea-Doo on July 31, 2026. They are useful comparison points, not dealer quotes. Transport, preparation, tax, registration, options and local fees may change the delivered price.

Sea-Doo lists the trailer as included in Switch MSRP, but buyers should still verify the exact trailer, freight, setup and destination costs on the written dealer quote.

Which Sea-Doo should you choose?

Choose a PWC when:

• one to three riders is sufficient;
• easy towing and compact storage matter;
• you want a specialized performance, touring, tow-sports or fishing platform;
• your priority is the ride rather than a large social deck.

Choose a Switch when:

• you routinely carry a family or group;
• seating, deck space and reconfigurable layouts matter;
• you want pontoon utility with jet propulsion;
• you need a dedicated cruise, sport or fishing package.

Do not select only by maximum horsepower. Compare real passenger load, towing vehicle capacity, storage dimensions, water conditions, dealer access and the activities you will actually do. A demo ride is especially valuable because jet steering and throttle-based low-speed control feel different from an outboard boat.

Jet propulsion: advantages and limits

A Sea-Doo water jet has no exposed propeller, provides responsive acceleration and packages the propulsion system inside the hull. On Switch models, that also preserves more usable stern space. The iBR system is designed to add braking and reverse control.

It is not permission to operate anywhere shallow. The intake needs clear water flow and can draw in weeds, rope, sand or stones. Operators must shut down the engine and follow the owner’s guide before approaching the intake or jet pump. Riders and passengers should remain clear of the jet outlet, and every person needs an approved personal flotation device appropriate to the activity and local law.

Maintenance and used-buying checks

Follow the maintenance schedule for the exact model and engine rather than a generic online interval. Saltwater operation normally increases the importance of rinsing, flushing and corrosion prevention. Storage preparation, battery care, oil requirements and winterization also depend on the model and climate. Sea-Doo’s official maintenance resources and owner’s guide should control.

For a used PWC or Switch, inspect service records, hull and intake damage, hours, corrosion, electronics, trailer condition and outstanding recalls. Ask an authorized dealer to check the vehicle identification number when service or recall history is uncertain. Our boat winterization guide covers the planning questions, but the Sea-Doo manual remains model-specific.

Legacy Sea-Doo Sport Boats deserve extra diligence because the current Switch network and parts catalog do not make an older fiberglass model current again. Confirm parts availability and find a shop willing to service that exact engine and jet system before purchase.

Sea-Doo boats FAQ

Does Sea-Doo still make boats?

Yes. Sea-Doo currently makes Switch jet-powered pontoon boats. It also makes personal watercraft. Its older fiberglass Sport Boat line is not part of the current lineup.

Is a Sea-Doo a Jet Ski?

Sea-Doo is a BRP brand, while Jet Ski is Kawasaki’s brand name. Both sell personal watercraft, so “PWC” is the accurate generic term.

How many people fit on a Sea-Doo Switch?

Current configurations range from compact models rated for up to five people to larger models rated for up to ten. Capacity depends on the exact length, model and configuration; use the capacity label on the boat.

Can a Sea-Doo Switch pull a tube or wakeboarder?

Appropriately equipped Switch models are marketed for tow sports, especially the Switch Sport range. Follow the model’s capacity limits, observer requirements and local towing rules.

Are Sea-Doo boats good in shallow water?

A jet drive has no lower unit or propeller extending below the hull, but the intake can ingest debris or contact the bottom. Always maintain the minimum depth and operating clearance specified in the owner’s guide.

Bottom line: “Sea-Doo boats” now means the Switch pontoon line for groups and the broader PWC line for one-to-three-rider recreation. Decide which category fits first, then compare the current model, capacity and delivered dealer price.

If a Switch pontoon is not the layout you need, Scarab offers fiberglass jet runabouts and center consoles. Compare them in our 2026 Scarab boats guide.
