Sea-Doo Just Gave the Personal Watercraft World Its Biggest Touchscreen
Personal watercraft technology has been quietly getting serious. If you've been on the water recently or shopping for a new PWC, you may have noticed that the riding experience is increasingly digital — connected displays, app integration, ride mode selection. Sea-Doo's 2026 lineup takes that evolution to its logical next step with the largest touchscreen ever put on a production personal watercraft.
10.25 inches. On a PWC. That's not a small incremental update — that's a genuine rethinking of how riders interact with their machine on the water.
The Full 2026 Sea-Doo Lineup Breakdown
The 10.25-inch display is coming to four units in the 2026 Sea-Doo range, covering the premium end of the lineup. Alongside the screen upgrade, Sea-Doo is expanding their iDF (intelligent Debris-Free) pump system across the GTI SE — a feature that removes debris from the jet pump intake automatically, which anyone who's done a boat mechanic visit for wrapped seaweed or plastic bags will immediately appreciate.
And then there's the pricing move that surprises me the most: the base Spark is now starting at $9,999 RRP. The entry point to the Sea-Doo lineup has come down, at the same time the premium end has gone up in technology. That's a smart dual-strategy for capturing both first-time buyers and experienced riders looking to upgrade.
What This Means for the PWC Market
Sea-Doo is essentially doing what the SXS market is doing — raising the technology floor while expanding accessibility at the entry level. A 10.25-inch touchscreen on a personal watercraft isn't a gimmick; it's the marine equivalent of what premium infotainment did for cars. Riders will expect it now.
If you're in the market for a new PWC this season, the 2026 Sea-Doo lineup is worth a serious look. The Spark at $9,999 is the most accessible entry to a brand-new PWC from a major manufacturer, and the premium units with the full touchscreen setup represent a genuinely new in-water experience.
