Sea-Doo is the market leader when it comes to out-on-the-water fun. Their range of units is unbeatable: whether you’re a thrill-seeker with a love for making waves, keen to seek out that hard-to-access fishing spot, or new to personal watercraft, chasing fun and freedom, there’s a Sea-Doo for you.

Showcasing at Hutchwilco Boat Show in New Zealand on 18th May 2023, there’s no better time to think about all that Sea-Doo can offer you, and see why they’re the number one PWC choice. Sea-Doo brings the most adventure on the water, featuring the all-new Adventure category and Pontoon (boat) segment. The lifestyle options are endless, and at Hutchwilco you’ll be able to get a taste of all that’s available: from the entry-level Spark to the top of the food chain RXP-X RS, your Sea-Doo Life is just around the corner.

Check out site 252 at Hutchwilco 2023.

EXCLUSIVE TO HUTCHWILCO: SEA-DOO RISE

Get your first glimpse of the new Sea-Doo Rise at Hutchwilco boat show. The Rise is a major innovation in the foil board industry: an all-electric hydrofoil unit, complete with a board. This is an easy-to-use and accessible machine that is also easy to charge. With launch scheduled for 2024, this is your chance to see the unit in the flesh for the first time in New Zealand. We know that Sea-Doo pushes the boundaries of innovation, redefining just what a PWC is; the Rise is going to blow you out of the water.

REC LITE – Spark and Spark Trixx

These entry-level units are perfect for someone who’s getting their first taste of the Sea-Doo Life. The Spark range lets you maximise your on-water fun with flashy looks, and nimble and peppy handling. In terms of value, the Spark family is light on the wallet without having to compromise on fun. It’s lightweight and easy to tow and the base Spark unit comes with a fast and fuel-efficient 900 ACE – 60 hp engine–from here, the fun only increases.

RECREATION – GTI and GTI SE

The GTI platform sets the standard on the water for family fun–and the bar is high. Whether your ideal day out on the water consists of spirited riding, tow sports, fishing or just cruising, the GTI is the unit for you. Both the GTI and GTI SE models have unmatched stability, versatility and style. With engines starting at the Rotax 1630 ACE – 130, the GTI platforms are built to let you decide how wild or mild you want each ride to be.

TOURING – GTX and GTX Limited

The perfect blend of comfort, performance and attitude come together to make the GTX and GTX Limited PWCs. Spacious and confident, the GTX delivers comfort and convenience in a range of features, giving you the ultimate unforgettable experience. Three Rotax engines are on offer for this platform, letting you customise your ride and finetuning it to be just to your taste. You won’t want the ride to end.

PERFORMANCE – GTR, RXT-X RS and RXP-X RS

When we say ‘performance’, we mean it. This range is not for the faint of heart: with power, speed and a need to push the limit, the Sea-Doo Performance range lets you experience high-octane fun. The GTR is designed to give you this speed (230hp to be exact), and with a nimble, predictable hull you can keep acceleration pinpointed. The RXP-X RS is the pinnacle of PWC racing performance, with a 300hp Rotax engine. It’s not hard to see why Daniel Ricciardo is a fan.

ADVENTURE – Explorer Pro 170

The Sea-Doo Explorer Pro is made for those who want to explore. This unit comes with a 170hp engine, giving you plenty of torque for towing all while still being fuel efficient. The Explorer Pro is the first unit truly built for adventure: it’s designed to give you more space for some of that

extra gear you want to bring along on your next expedition, incredible stability, and comfortable adventure-focused features. The Sea-Doo Explorer Pro is also the first ever PWC to come with a windshield especially for adventure and distance riding.

SPORT FISHING – FishPro Scout, FishPro Sport and FishPro Trophy

The FishPro family is the ideal blend of affordable fishing and family fun. Designed in conjunction with homegrown talent, Andrew Hill, you can trust that this unit is truly purpose-built for the avid fisher. It’s unmatched in versatility, allowing you to take all the gear you need on any given day or go out a bit more bare bones. Designed with a passion for fishing at heart, this range encapsulates what it means to eat, sleep and breathe fishing.

TOW SPORTS – Wake Pro

The Sea-Doo Wake Pro gives you the most stable ride for tow sports. With that extra power and extra room, you’ll have a watersports experience like no other. The Wake Pro’s ingenious design means that you’ll get perfectly balanced power and acceleration for towing. There’s a range of features too, like a spring-loaded boarding ladder and swim platform, which gives that added ease of use.
