Only 1,991 units, a 350 CV engine, just under 40,000 euros, and a design inspired by the legacy of the three-time F1 champion: Now available in Spain: the Sea-Doo RXP-X Senna 350 personal watercraft, a special limited-edition model created in collaboration with Senna Brand to pay tribute to the legacy of Ayrton Senna, the three-time Brazilian Formula 1 champion who died at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.

The number of units is no coincidence: exactly 1,991 will be manufactured worldwide, in reference to the year Senna won his third and final world title. The rest of his championship wins (1988, 1990, and 1991) are also incorporated into the motorcycle’s design, along with his laser-engraved signature and the phrases “Seek your truth” and “Born to win” featured in various places on the bodywork. Each unit also includes a numbered commemorative plaque.

The chosen base model is the RXP-X, the brand’s high-performance model. It is powered by the new Rotax 1630 ACE engine with 350 CV and reaches a top speed of nearly 113 km/h. Its features include the T3-R fiberglass hull, the Ergolock R racing system, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth connectivity via BRP Connect, a hydraulic steering damper, launch control, and BRP’s Platinum audio system with two 80 W speakers. It has a dry weight of 353 kg and a storage capacity of 153.7 liters.

The finish features a color combination of Racing Yellow and Amazon Green, inspired by Ayrton Senna’s iconic helmet. Each unit also includes a matching passenger seat and a custom cover featuring Senna’s logo.

The international launch took place in Orlando, Florida, and was attended by Bruno Senna—the driver’s nephew and a jet ski enthusiast himself—who worked alongside Sea-Doo’s chief designer, Curt Wilson, on the model’s development for several years. “When I took it out for the first time, I started in normal mode, which is a little smoother. Then, in sport mode, the acceleration was incredible, but what really surprised me was the grip in the turns,” Bruno explained after testing it in the Florida Keys.

Regarding his uncle’s legacy, Bruno summed up his philosophy this way: “He believed that everyone was born with similar potential. He had opportunities, of course, and he wanted to give others that same chance. He donated a lot of money to charitable causes, especially those dedicated to children.”

The RXP-X Senna 350 is now available in Spain, where its starting price is €39,899 (including 14.75% VAT and IEDMT, depending on the autonomous community).
