The 2024 Sea-Doo lineup will feature a 325-horsepower high-performance PWC, redesigned Spark and Spark Trixx models, and an all-new Switch Cruise Limited pontoon.


Sea-Doo and Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) have revealed their 2024 lineup, including an all-new new PWC model, a new addition to the Switch pontoon series, redesigned Spark and Trixx PWC's, a new 325 hp Rotax engine, a major power upgrade to select Manitou pontoons, and a host of new features and tech.


The Switch pontoon made a huge splash when it launched in 2021 and has seen steady demand from dealers across the industry. The versatile platform uses handlebar steering, unique customization hardware, and the ability to purchase it as a 'package' with trailer, all at attractive pricing. 2024 will see the addition of the Switch Cruise Limited with a host of upgraded standard technology.


The ultra-popular Spark and Spark Trixx models have been completely overhauled designed for 2024 and will now be dubbed 'Gen 2' versions of the platform. The PWC's will feature a completely new hull and body design, as well as multiple new features.


The new 1630 ACE Rotax engine will boast a massive 325 hp thanks to a redesigned intake grate, a large diameter intake hose, and a max RPM increase from 8000 to 8250. The new motor will push Sea-Doo PWC's from 0-60 mph in as little as 3.4 seconds. The new motor will be available exclusively on the RXP-X 325 for 2024.


The new PWC model for 2024 will be the GTR-X 300, which will feature a similar 1630 ACE Rotax engine at 300 horsepower, plus an ergonomic and adjustable cockpit, a variable trim system (VTS), and a large swim platform. According to Sea-Doo, the new GTR-X 300 will offer the "lowest $ to hp" ratio in the industry, beating out competitors from Yamaha and Kawasaki with higher speeds and performance at a lower MSRP.


With respect to Manitou Pontoons, the Manitou Explore MAX Dual Engine models will come with twice the power, thanks to twin Rotax S150 outboard engines producing 300 horsepower. For model year 2024, the Manitou Explore MAX Dual Engine will be offered in 24 and 26-foot lengths. The MAX Deck has been elevated and increased in size to now give more than 6 feet of usable, unobstructed space at the stern. The Manitou Explore MAX Dual Engine will be rigged with twin Rotax S150’s, rather than a single Rotax S engine, to produce better fuel economy, less emissions, reduced noise, and easy maintenance compared to traditional outboards.


“Our commitment to relentless innovation, continued refinement and creating industry leading experiences has been our guiding light to deliver the most comprehensive lineup of personal watercraft and pontoons in the industry,” says James Heintz, Director of Global Product Strategy, Sea-Doo & Marine Group at BRP.


“In addition to revolutionary watercraft, we also know that owners look to personalize their experience. Our accessory teams have worked hand in hand with our vehicle engineers to launch 25 new on-water accessories for our entire lineup that cater to unparalleled days on the water.”


Here's a breakdown by model:


2024 Sea-Doo Spark & Spark Trixx

The next generation 2024 Sea-Doo Spark represents the evolution of a model that transformed the industry, featuring multiple new refinements that add to the classic Spark style.

A variety of seat options ensure the Spark and Spark Trixx are a perfect option for 1, 2 or 3 riders. Sea-Doo’s Intelligent Brake and Reverse (iBR) system is now standard across all Spark models, providing improved control and maneuverability to riders.


Spark Trixx has a new "Trixx mode" that helps unlock more tricks while the 1-up Freestyle seat and integrated footwell wedges provide side-to-side and front-to-rear movement, making it easier for stand-up riding and trying fresh freestyle maneuvers.
