I rode the 2026 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325, Sea-Doo’s flagship touring ski, and walked away with a clear picture of who it’s for. It was only fitting that we were in Palm Beach, Florida’s billionaires’ vacation destination, driving the most luxe of Sea-Doo’s lineup. And while it’s easy to look at this unit online, read about the bells and whistles, getting to ride it is a whole other story.
Before I dive into the specs and nitty-gritty, here’s the topline notes. It might be the most comfortable PWC I’ve ever sat on. They call it the Cadaillac of PWCs, and for good reason. The seats are ultra-plush, and feature an Ergo-lock two-piece design. It’s wide, it’s stepped, and it stayed comfortable through long stretches without me constantly hunting for a better position.
Stability was also key. We rode through a choppy channel out onto the rough ocean, but the hull held its line and never threw me off. I felt grounded and locked in, even as I caught substantial air. And one thing that really stood out to me was the iDF system. We rode through ample seaweed, but the system cleared the pump in about ten seconds. If you ride lakes with weed beds or coves with floating debris, this will make a big difference.
But there’s a lot more to the GTX Limited 325 than just its comfort, stability, and iDF system. There’s also a few notes I had on what I would change. Let’s get into it.
First, What I Liked
The front storage is what I want every ski to copy. It opens directly in front of the rider, holds 25.3 gallons, and includes a 0.8-gallon glove box plus a separate watertight phone compartment, so the stuff I actually grab mid-ride lives within reach. The 10.25-inch touchscreen worked with wet hands, and toggling between modes (ECO, Sport, Speed Regulator, Slow Speed Mode) was a single tap.
The engine is powerful. It runs the supercharged, intercooled Rotax 1630 ACE producing 325 horsepower. You also get a three-up Ergolock seat, 26.1 gallons of total storage, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with BRP Connect, the iDF debris-clearing system, iBR braking, and the ST3 fiberglass hull. If you ride long days, ride two-up, or run rougher water, this is the Sea-Doo I’d put you on.
What You Give Up
The GTX Limited 325 is heavy at 849 lb dry, and I felt it in tight turns. It’s planted and stable, which is the point of a touring ski, but it isn’t going to carve like a smaller Sea-Doo. The only other qualm I had was that the BRP GO! app (the manufacturer’s connected-rider app) also still needs a USB cord to connect a phone to the dash, with the USB port itself living inside the Limited Package. And of course, I wasn’t thinking ahead so I didn’t bring a USB cord and couldn’t get the app to properly function without it.
Who Is The GTX Limited 325 For?
This is the ski for the rider who wants comfort, stability, and tech over outright agility. It’s also great for newer riders because of its ST3 hull, iTC throttle control, and Slow Speed Mode. It also might be a better fit for families or if you’re riding two- or three-up against the 600-lb weight capacity. A closed-loop cooling system also makes it a smart choice for saltwater owners who want to protect the engine over the long haul.
How It Compares To Other Sea-Doo Touring Skis
Inside the Sea-Doo touring lineup, the GTX Limited 325 is the comfort-and-power flagship.
The RXT-X is the same ST3 hull (Strong, Stable, T-Shape). The differences are the RXT-X has X-package elements that make it a bit more apt for aggressive cornering, narrower seat lumbar support—allowing the rider to move around freer while cornering, the X-Series handlebars, and of course more race styling.
Step down to the GTX 230 if you want supercharged power without the full Limited package. Step down to the GTX 170 if you don’t need a supercharger at all. Move sideways to the RXT-X 325 if you want the same 325-hp engine but on a sportier hull built for performance rather than touring.
My Final Verdict
If you want Sea-Doo’s top-of-the-line PWC and the most powerful factory engine, the 2026 GTX Limited 325 is for you. It delivers comfort and function, blends playfulness with practicality, and has the features that you didn’t even know you needed. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something lighter that cuts, you might want to think about their other models. It really comes down to personal preference. But if I’m buying? I’m getting the GTX Limited 325.
