I’ve honestly always been a little surprised that there are not more pirate sightings within the PWC culture – after all, it is such a fitting and logical tie-in. There are few sport/recreation based activities or “hobbies” where the swashbuckling soul and daring bravado of the pirates of old blend right in with a sport’s lifestyle and culture the way they do with the PWC world.
However, if you don’t count race purses and championship cups – there’s not been much in the way of booty to be found on the high seas (or lakes and rivers) these days. However, that’s no longer true. Now, thanks to Sea-Doo and BPR GO!, there is Sea-Stash up for grabs August 20-26.
Whether you fancy yourself as Indiana Jones, tracking down valuable treasures, Captain Jack Sparrow seeking the heart of Davey Jones (and some rum!), or a young Jim Hawkins, on a quest for Captain Flint’s buried treasure, The Sea-Stash contest — getting set to launch on Aug. 20 — could be just the adventure you seek, and the treasure you want!
And like Hawkins, you will have the assistance of a treasure map — and without having to unearth a deceased pirate’s sea chest to find the it!
BRP GO – Bombardier’s Mobile App, which you can download here, is the key to finding one of the GPS-tagged treasure stashes. Each Sea-Stash, which includes PA&A (Parts, Accessories & Apparel), and a pre-papid Visa card totaling up to $2,000, also includes a chance to win a new 2026 Sea-Doo RXP-X 325.
Once you download BRP Go — which, as described in previous WCJ articles, provides water navigation, including detailed maps and the ability to download maps for offline use, and allows users to record their rides, track ride statistics, and share ride information — head to the “WATER” playground and select the Navigation tile to access the Sea-Doo map, which you will need to search for the Sea-Stash when the drop goes live.
Every day from August 20 – 26, Sea-Doo will release the location of a different stash, accessible by PWC or pontoon – and the first to arrive at the stash location will win the prize.
But don’t wait until the 20th, or the date of the location drop closest to you!
While the drop locations are a secret up until the drop time, the BRP GO stash map is live now, and you can use the BRP Go Ap leading up to the drop times to explore the approximate location of the stash, and up your odds of being the first one there!
Then, when the stash drops, open BRP GO!, ensure you are in the “WATER” playground, and search “Sea-Stash” or spot the SS icon on your map. Hit the water and head to the stash, which is hosted by Sea-Doo crew members and packed with Sea-Doo rewards waiting to be claimed.
