Is the Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 the Ultimate Touring PWC?
The Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 arrives as the brand’s most feature-rich touring personal watercraft to date. Sharing the same 325-horsepower Rotax engine as the RXP-X 325, it’s built not for the racetrack but for distance, comfort, and versatility. We took a closer look at its design, performance, and practicality to see if it’s worth its premium price tag.
Design and Layout
Built on Sea-Doo’s ST3 hull platform, the GTX Limited 325 is shaped for stability and comfort in varying conditions. Its wide stance and lower center of gravity make it suitable for long-distance travel with minimal fatigue. The seat is spacious and supportive, designed for up to three riders.
The layout favors utility: 26.1 gallons of storage across a large front bin and glovebox, a wide rear deck with LinQ attachment points, and standard features like a 10.25-inch full-color touchscreen, USB charging, and a 100W Bluetooth audio system.
Nothing feels excessive, but everything you need is built in.
How It Rides
This watercraft is powered by the new 325 hp Rotax 1630 ACE engine—currently the most powerful in the category. Throttle response is strong, but smoother than the RXP-X, with acceleration tuned for confidence, not aggression. Top speed sits around 65–70 mph depending on conditions.
The ST3 hull tracks well at speed, stays composed in moderate chop, and feels especially solid at idle. The hydraulic steering damper adds adjustability, allowing riders to dial in feel based on water conditions.
It’s clearly optimized for sustained riding over sharp cornering.
Comfort and Usability
Comfort is where the GTX Limited excels. The seating position encourages a natural posture, and there’s ample room to shift, stretch, or ride tandem without feeling cramped. The deck layout supports easy movement and access to gear, and the audio system performs well without distortion.
Functionally, features like the iDF debris-clearing pump system, glovebox phone mount, and responsive touchscreen display enhance the experience without overcomplicating it.
It’s a straightforward, intuitive ride whether you're traveling an hour or an afternoon.
Price and Options
The GTX Limited 325 starts at $22,549 in the U.S., putting it firmly in the premium touring segment. That price includes most of its standout features—touchscreen, audio, storage, and electronic systems—so add-ons are minimal.
Compared to smaller or more specialized models, it’s a more expensive option, but the feature set supports that cost. Riders looking for speed alone might find better value elsewhere. For those prioritizing distance, usability, and comfort, the pricing aligns with its purpose.
Who It’s For
The GTX Limited 325 is ideal for experienced riders who take longer trips, carry gear, or need a reliable platform for open-water exploration. It also fits well as a high-end tender or recreational craft for waterfront property owners and yacht users.
It’s not suited for tight maneuvering, jumping waves, or new riders looking for a lightweight entry point. Transport and launch require planning, and its best qualities come out when given space to ride.
