On a bright Florida morning the Sea‑Doo GTI SE 130 slips from the dock with a low, purposeful shove: a 1,630 cc Rotax engine producing 130 hp, a roomy touring seat, and sealed storage that makes a day on the water feel deliberately easy. FL Shoreline Adventures offers rentals of this 2025 model in Bradenton, a family‑focused personal watercraft built for steady handling, confident braking and enough space for a couple and a child or three light riders.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MACHINE

130 horsepower and modern control systems

The GTI SE 130 is driven by a Rotax 1630 ACE 130 engine and pairs that power with intelligent systems — iTC throttle control, the industry‑leading iBR electronic brake and reverse, and a Variable Trim System — for predictable acceleration, confident stopping and tuned handling on varied water.

THE RIDE

Comfort that stretches a short trip into a long‑day option

An Ergolock two‑piece touring seat, wide‑angle mirrors and a large swim platform make the GTI SE 130 comfortable for extended outings; the hull and trim controls help maintain stability whether you’re cruising or towing a tube.

THE PRACTICALITY

Storage, sound and family logistics

With roughly 40.3 gallons of sealed storage (including a 38‑gal front bin), a watertight phone compartment, LinQ attachment points and a waterproof premium audio system, this model is set up to carry gear, keep electronics dry and play tunes while underway.

What the day feels like

What the rental feels like

The rental experience centers on a compact, user‑friendly craft that accelerates cleanly and settles into a steady plane. Controls are deliberately modern — digital display for speed and ride mode, iBR for confident stopping and VTS trim for on‑the‑fly attitude adjustments — so riders move from dock handling to open water with minimal fuss while enjoying a roomy seat, swim platform for reboarding and accessible storage for essentials.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should consider alternatives.

1
Active FamiliesA strong match: the GTI SE 130 accommodates a small family (two adults or two adults plus a child under 90 lbs) and offers sealed storage and a swim platform for shore breaks and short beach stops.
2
Experienced RidersWell suited — the craft’s 130 hp engine, iBR braking and VTS trim let skilled riders extract confident handling and responsive performance.
3
New Riders or TeensAppropriate when supervised: drivers must be 18 to rent, while 14‑year‑olds may drive only with a guardian present, so younger riders can get hands‑on experience under adult supervision.
4
Large Groups or Heavy LoadsNot ideal for large parties — passenger capacity is limited to three riders and total weight capacity is roughly 600 lb (272 kg), so plan multiple crafts for bigger groups or lots of gear.
