Sea-Doo will be adding a suite of new innovative connectivity features and improvements to the entire Sea-Doo lineup for 2026.

The popular Sea-Doo Switch pontoon will see significant changes for next year, including the addition of a 300 hp supercharged Rotax 1630 ACE engine offering.

“Every year, we push to elevate the Sea-Doo experience for our new and loyal customers alike, who are looking to live their best Sea-Doo Life. We listen carefully to their feedback and respond through continuous improvements to our products featuring innovative and industry-leading technologies with the goal of making our communities feel closer than ever before,” said James Heintz, Global Product Strategy Director, Sea-Doo and Vehicle Connectivity, in a press release.

2026 PWC Connectivity Upgrades

For 2026, more models across the Sea-Doo lineup will be getting the intuitive 10.25’’ Touchscreen Display. Customizable with smart connectivity functions, it shows driving stats, compass, marine navigation with the BRP GO! App which can be enhanced with a Navionics subscription, music, and more.

First introduced on the 2025 GTX Limited 325, the larger screen was a hit with Sea-Doo riders and is now standard equipment on the 2026 RXT-X, FishPro Trophy, Wake Pro and Explorer Pro, and available as an option on the RXP-X.

The larger screen not only provides more information at a glance, but also allows riders to track each other on water as well as plan and create itineraries. It also creates some unique features for specific models. For example, on the RXP-X, it adds one more high-performance feature to the mix with Launch Mode managed directly from the gauge for holeshots, giving riders a jump on the competition. On the FishPro Trophy, it provides anglers the opportunity to follow a detailed marine navigation map on the main screen using the BRP GO! Mobile App and then use the Garmin GPS exclusively in fish finder mode to improve the odds of catching the big one. Additionally, on the Wake Pro, the Ski Mode is now controlled directly through the touchscreen offering 5 different ramps that provide unique speed and acceleration to improve rider safety based on a variety of rider skill levels.

Sea-Doo Switch 2026 Upgrades

2026 Sea-Doo Switch Cruise and Cruise Limited

Since its debut in 2022, the Switch family has seen regular updates every year to elevate the overall customer experience. For 2026, those improvements will include the availability of a 300 hp Rotax 1630 ACE engine on certain 18’ and 21’ Switch models. Going hand in hand with the new higher output engine is a 60% larger fuel tank.

In addition, for 2026, all Switch models featuring 230 and 300 hp engines now have a tilting handlebar for better ergonomics and more flexibility for the captain. Additionally, all models now allow depth finder access directly on the dash display, regardless of whether it's the 4.5’ or 10.25” display.

A new optional Tech Package for the Switch Cruise and Sport 18’ and 21’ comes straight from the factory adding two corner tables with two speakers along with an amplifier, subwoofer, and the 10.25’’ Touchscreen Display.

Rear corner doors will also be a welcome addition to the Switch Cruise and Cruise Limited models, allowing easier accessibility to the rear swim platform. The new doors will be handy for family and friends looking to dive off the back of the swim platform or cruise around the lake on an inflatable tube. The Switch Cruise Limited line now includes an 18’ model featuring the new 300 hp engine and a new bimini gas shock system that makes bimini top deployment and storage both easier and quicker. The Switch Cruise Limited 21’ is equipped with the same 300 hp engine and bimini gas shock system, but now features a new optional double bimini from the factory that provides 45% more sun coverage and includes 2 sunroof panels should a little more sunlight be needed.

For 2026, the Switch family will also include the launch of a new Switch Fish Compact 170 hp model featuring most of the fishing technology that made the Switch Fish a successful debut last year, but in a smaller package.

Accessories will also play an important role in the Sea-Doo Switch lineup changes in 2026. A front Dodger increases captain comfort during inclement weather, a BBQ Table with LinQ Lite turns the Switch into a floating diner, a Pop-Up Changing Room and Emergency Toilet allow for some privacy, and a LinQ Rear Floating Mat Holder makes relaxing on a float mat behind the Switch easier than ever.
