I would like to see this blast out of Haulover Inlet and see how it responds.

I really like this thing, it is so versatile. Fishing, tubing, cruising, whatever. And considering what pontoon boats go for and the engine costs... this is a really nice price point.

Yeah, every boat review is always on a nice day, but if I was gonna buy this thing to take my family out, I’d be way more interested on how it handles when that unexpected storm pops up.

Sea Doo is the Apple iPhone of the water sports industry!

We are picking up our 21' Cruise 230 this weekend. Super excited. Thanks for the full review.

Excellent innovation by Sea Doo! Really looking after the recreation community with the jet propulsion system and the modular seating. Excited to try one out!

To add a little regarding the 3 sizes, each one, adding on a 3' section. - the 13 has no swim platform. The 18 is really a 16 with a 2' swim platform, and the 21 is really a 19 with a 2' swim platform. A swim platform could be added to the 13, (making it a 15) by buying the parts and installing it yourself. SeaDoo, according to Watercraft Journal, won't sell it that way because if it is over 13' it requires more mandated features (emissions? I can't remember specifically what he said) and would jack the cost up.

This looks fun and versatile, I would hope the price simmers down a bit as supply increases.

Everything has its pros and cons, it’s about finding what fits your style best.

Sure plastic is more fragile, but can be formed for better manoeuvring than the traditional logs. I’d like to see under the deck how everything’s attached, and if there’s some strength/stress support.

I would think with the higher HP and somewhat light weight that it planes quick and “hopefully” handles chop well.

With the ability to move chairs and benches around the deck, I can understand the lack of flooring options that some are complaining about. I mean… carpet doesn’t belong on a boat anyways, it’s only good for catching sand, mold, and fishhooks… but I’m curious how “non slip” the current deck is.

In due time I hope they catch up with other options like, pedestal tables and bbq’s, lighting, sound system, seating upgrades etc. And maybe even add a sport-fish version with livewell, rod holders, swivel pedestal seats etc.

I can’t imagine these are great on fuel, but what boat with enough power is? Every boat costs to fuel and maintain… hell, that’s what BOAT stands for: Bring Out Another Thousand.

I’m near a lot of wide open shallow salt water… and something like this definitely has my attention. Thanks for the review!

I have taken my 2022 Sea Doo Switch Cruise 21footer up to 53 mph on the lake with 3 adult males and 3 teenagers and also got it up to 50 mph with 5 adults and 2 teenagers and 2 dogs and we have a blast!!! 💯 Oh yah, it's the 230 supercharged motor tho 💨💨💨💨

Would love to see a duck hubting special edition. Make it camo with higher sides for attaching vegetation and some kind of flip back top cover with bench seats. Could make a cool duck boat.

[nickdawn]

I'm so getting it next year, it's so versatile it's like owning 3 boats.

[Mickocarbomb]

That would be the most badass fishing rig for real.

[richardharker]

Excellent presentation. I looked out of curiosity but your voice, method of presentation and the enthusiasm in the tone of your voice has me interested. Well done.

[michaellong]

I took delivery of a 2024 switch exactly like this one. I only have 3 hours on it. It's still slow..😢😢 I can't wait to take it out tomorrow morning and break her in!!!!
And part of the reason I bought this particular model is because of videos like this one...

[haciendadad]

I remember when SUVs first came out and they were for people that needed the practicality of a larger vehicle but buying a Mom's Minivan was out of the question!

I'm looking for a smaller fishing boat, I do mostly lakes but have properties on the FL coast too, so this seems like the cool toy! Seems like SeaDoo thought of everything and evolved with the times too. The only thing I could think of adding is a bait live well, and maybe spot lock but those can be added on from other manufacturers.

[ryankoehler]

Dude the versatility and ease of putting that thing into water for either cruising or fishing would be money

[ferociouspinkbunnywarrior]

As I read these comments I see people who rather than admire the Sea Doo Switch for having the speed &maneuverability of a pwc combined with the capacity and stability of a tritoon (or pontoon), criticize it because it doesn't also have the looks of a traditional boat, the durability of Old Ironsides, and the price of a bass boat.

[kylestewart]

If you could buy that boat as testsd for 30k. Id have one. But for 45k. There are a ton of other options especially in the used boat market. I thinknthe 13ft version will be a big seller. Cause its basically a big jet ski and i could see it being fun to jump around on. But tgese bigger models are priced up there with other quality boats that offer real comfort and utility

[rashick]

Our 21/230 Switch Cruse tops out at 43. We posted a few runs at 42 on You tube.

[marcobaez]

45MPH! First time I’ve seen that. How many hours were on this boat? Great video, nice touch on adding the Canadian currency and km/h.
