The 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited has arrived in Australia – now with 325 horsepower, up from the previous 300hp output – blending the best of the brand’s luxury and performance features in one ski.
As one of the most expensive models on the market, the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 comes fully loaded.
In addition to the performance boost, it’s the first Sea-Doo with a touchscreen – now a massive 10.25-inch display, the largest ever fitted to a Sea-Doo (or any personal watercraft for that matter).
This model is expected to carry into 2026 largely unchanged, except for colour and trim updates, so the information in this review should be valid into next year.
In this review we will go through the prices in Australian and US dollars, cover the key features as well as the pros and cons, tell you what it’s like to ride, and do acceleration and top speed tests using our precision VBox timing equipment.
2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 Feature Highlights
Sea-Doo’s luxury flagship, the GTX Limited, is now available with the same 325hp supercharged engine from the RXT-X and RXP-X performance skis.
These other models received a 325hp boost in 2024 but, from 2025, the same high output supercharged 1630cc three-cylinder engine is available in the GTX Limited.
It means there are now three models in the Sea-Doo line-up with 325hp – the highest factory output in the Jet Ski market to date.
- Sea-Doo RXP-X 325
- Sea-Doo RXT-X 325
- Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325
The GTX Limited 325 also marks the first time Sea-Doo’s reverse thrust debris removal system (known as IDF) has been fitted to the 325hp version of the 1630cc engine.
Previously IDF was only available on less powerful Sea-Doo models – up to a maximum of 300hp, on the GTX Limited.
For now, while IDF has been applied to the 325hp version of the GTX Limited – it is still not available on the RXP-X and RXT-X 325 performance skis.
The GTX Limited 325 also gains the adjustable steering damper set-up fitted to the RXP-X performance ski – among other models for 2025.
Another highlight: the GTX Limited 325 comes with the largest touchscreen in the Jet Ski world to date.
It is the same 10.25-inch touchscreen used on CanAm off-road buggies and CanAm Spider three-wheel motorcycles which, as with Sea-Doo, are all part of the BRP Powersports group.
Sea-Doo has developed a new shroud to house the larger touchscreen – plus there are new fingertip controls on the handlebars.
This is designed to give riders the option of touching the screen, or using their fingertips to change or view the various modes.
It is the first time Sea-Doo has had a touchscreen.
Yamaha’s current generation FX WaveRunner has had a variety of 5-inch and 7-inch touchscreens since 2019.
Kawasaki’s latest Ultra series has a digital display, but it is not a touchscreen and is controlled via a dial and buttons on the console.
While Apple CarPlay is available on this screen in BRP’s three-wheel motorcycle range, Sea-Doo is not expected to get Apple CarPlay on its skis because Apple has, for now, restricted the technology to road-registered vehicles.
It’s the same reason Apple CarPlay isn’t expected on any BRP CanAm off-road buggies any time soon.
As for accessories, because the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 is based on the same full-size, three-seater platform as the Fish Pro and Explorer Pro, you can fit the same accessories, via the clever LINQ accessory attachment points on the rear deck.
2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 Pricing and Warranty
The sweeping changes to the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 have driven a price rise of $3235 in Australia – to $AU35,299 excluding trailer and registration, which typically adds about $3000.
In the US the price has risen by $US2300 – to $US21,999 excluding trailer and registration.
In Australia the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 has a two-year warranty, however Sea-Doo occasionally offers three-year coverage during special promotions.
This compares to five-year warranty coverage for Kawasaki Jet Skis and two-plus-one year warranty coverage for Yamaha WaveRunners in Australia (with the third year only applying to craft serviced within the Yamaha WaveRunner dealer network).
In the US, the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 has one-year warranty coverage, the same as Kawasaki Jet Ski and Yamaha WaveRunner.

Although the white colour scheme of the GTX Limited carries over from 2024 into 2025, there is now the option of a new metallic teal colour.
The GTX Limited is based on the same ST3 platform that underpins the Sea-Doo Fish Pro and Explorer Pro, and GTX 170.
This means the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 has the same easy access front storage compartment as other ST3-based models, where the handlebars and console lid lift up as one, so you’re not leaning precariously over the handlebars trying to access the bow storage area when you’re on the water.
It’s a genius design and Sea-Doo remains the only ski on the market to offer this convenience.
The only setback is that the Sea-Doo has less bow storage – and a smaller glovebox – than equivalent Yamaha and Kawasaki models.
And the bow can only hold a maximum load of 14kg, so just enough for a small anchor and a couple of beach towels.
2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 320 bow storage comparison
- 2025 Sea-Doo GTX 325: 25.3 US gallons/96 litres
- 2025 Yamaha FX series: 34.3 US gallons/130 litres
- 2025 Kawasaki Ultra: 32.7 US gallons/124 litres
- Previous generation Kawasaki Ultra: 56 US gallons/212 litres
Meanwhile, the centre console in the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 has a small waterproof pocket and charge port to store a phone.
However it can be a bit of a tight squeeze for large phones in waterproof cases. You also want to make sure you have a short charging cable because the USB port is a snug fit.
What’s the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 like to ride?
The seat design on the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 is narrow so there is less risk of chafing the inside of your legs – unlike the wide seat and exposed stitching on Yamaha FX models.
And the footwells are huge, so there’s plenty of room to make sure you don’t get your feet stuck if you have a moment in a tight turn and are about to fall overboard.
The rubber mats in the footwells are slippery when wet compared to the better grip offered by the material on Yamaha and Kawasaki skis, so we recommend good footwear such as marine shoes or similar.
In terms of riding, as we’ve said with other reviews of ST3-based models, the steep and concave shape of the bow means you get a pretty dry ride, with the water deflecting away from the craft.
However the downside of this is that the bow tends to bounce around in choppy conditions.
With a belly full of fuel – 70 litres or 18.5 US gallons – the bow of the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 can track pretty well in rough water.
But as soon as you start to lose a bit of weight over the nose, say once the fuel tank dips to about two-thirds full, you can feel the bow start to get pushed around by choppy waves.
It means the craft doesn’t go exactly where you want it to go in such conditions, as the water catches the front end and pushes it around.
In the Sea-Doo range we prefer the bow design of the RXP-X performance ski, which has a less aggressive shape that carves through the water better.
We also find the Yamaha FX and Kawasaki Ultra hulls more stable in rough conditions.
Here’s hoping when Sea-Doo eventually updates its ST3 based models in the years ahead, they will adopt the front end from the RXP-X and the length of the today’s ST3 for added stability.
With all that said, in smooth water conditions, such as rivers and lakes, the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 rides with ease, and we would be more comfortable with this craft in these conditions.
We point out these differences because river and lake riding seems to be more popular in the US.
But in Australia, with various exclusion zones for Jet Skis in certain states, many riders need to venture out in the ocean or on the coast line, which is a lot rougher than calm waters.
How fast is the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325?
The 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 is one of the fastest supercharged skis we’ve tested, but it’s pipped at the post by its performance sibling, the Sea-Doo RXP-X 325 RS.
As always, our acceleration times are an average of four runs – two in each direction – in this instance with a rider weighing 100kg or 220 pounds.
We tested in flat water conditions – not ocean chop – to ensure we could extract the best performance.
Wind speed, wind direction, air temperature and the water current can affect the results, which is why we took an average of two directions rather than taking advantage of a tailwind or a favourable current.
Our VBox timer was programmed to start from 5kmh or 3mph, rather than zero, because the slightest movement triggers the device.
Unlike the Sea-Doo RXP-X 325, the GTX Limited does not have launch control, so we just grabbed a handful of throttle.
We launched the craft with the trim in the neutral setting and with a full tank of fuel, as we do with all skis – to keep the test procedure consistent.
However, out of curiosity we also tested with the trim up (cutting the time to 100km/h by 0.2 sec) and with the trim down (no difference to the neutral trim setting).
Here are the results with the trim in neutral.

2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 speed compared
- 2024 Sea-Doo RXP-X 325 RS
5 to 100kmh/ 62mph: 4.70 seconds - 2024 Sea-Doo GTR-X 300
5 to 100kmh/ 62mph: 5.14 seconds - 2024 Kawasaki Ultra 310X
5 to 100kmh/ 62mph: 5.23 seconds - 2024 Yamaha FX SVHO
5 to 100kmh/ 62mph: 5.33 seconds
As a comparison, in previous testing, the Sea-Doo RXP-X 325 RS hit 100kmh or 62mph in 4.7 seconds – and had a top speed average of 118.5kmh or 73.6mph.
We’re told the speed limiter is more effective in the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 because the software in the new digital display runs faster, which triggers the speed limiter more quickly.
This could explain the slightly lower top speed. The hull and weight also make a difference between the GTX 325 and the RXP-X 325.
Either way, there is no denying this is an incredibly fast machine, especially for a luxury cruiser.
When we tested the Kawasaki Ultra 310X – powered by a supercharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine – it hit 100kmh or 62mph in 5.23 seconds (on the way to an average top speed of 107kmh or 66.5mph).
The Yamaha FX SVHO – powered by a supercharged 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine – hit 100kmh or 62mph in 5.33 seconds (on the way to a top speed of 109kmh or 68mph) in our testing.
As always, we test watercraft in showroom standard condition.
Your results may vary based on modifications to the craft, or differences in air temperature, water conditions, fuel load and rider weight.
But these are the numbers we recorded using our test equipment.
How much fuel does the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 use?
As you might expect, supercharged skis are thirsty, which is understandable given the performance.
Moving this fast through the water requires a certain amount of energy.
Our testing showed the 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 consumed fuel at a rate of 65L/100km (or about 3.6 miles per gallon).
This makes it as thirsty as the supercharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder Kawasaki Ultra 310 in our testing.
And about 10 per cent thirstier than the Yamaha FX SVHO.
Your results may vary based on average speed, wind direction, water current, and how often you pin the throttle or accelerate quickly from a standing start.
Our fuel consumption figures are a guide only.
2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 verdict
The 2025 Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 is an epic machine and brings a new level of performance to Sea-Doo’s luxury flagship, with power to spare.
We love the new touchscreen, the new handlebar control buttons, Sea-Doo’s epic audio system – which has plenty of volume and bass.
The comfortable riding position, large footwells, large rear deck for accessories, and the best bow storage access in the Jet Ski market today are also competitive advantages.
If you want supercharged performance will all the trimmings, the Sea-Doo GTX Limited 325 is worth a closer look.
Watercraft Zone would like to extend a huge thanks to the guys at Lake And Valley Powersports on the Central Coast just north of Sydney, one of the biggest Sea-Doo dealers in Australia, who loaned us this craft to test over two weekends in June 2025.
