Seakeeper Ride
The Only Vessel Attitude Control System
Seakeeper Ride is the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) that eliminates up to 70% of pitch and roll underway.
About The
Company
Seakeeper is the world leader in marine motion control technology. Founded in 2003, Seakeeper invested in five years of R&D before introducing its first gyrostabilizer to the marketplace in 2008. Since then, Seakeeper has grown from a start-up operation to the worldwide leader in stabilization with products for boats as small as 23 ft. With annual growth and investment in new technologies, the company continues to expand its product offering, pioneering motion control and stabilization both at rest and underway for boats of all sizes. Seakeeper Ride, a Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) and the first product deviation from its line of gyrostabilizers, launched in 2022 for boats up to 35 ft.
Key Benefits
Pitch and Roll Elimination
Seakeeper Ride eliminates up to 70% of underway pitch and roll motions that often cause uncomfortable pounding or slamming. The elimination of these motions contributes to increased safety and provides comfort, control, and confidence to all on board.
Hole Shot Control
Auto Trim
Seakeeper Ride uses a customized Trim Command Curve to automatically adjust the boat to match the optimal running angle at any given speed.
List/Level Control
Seakeeper Ride never allows vessel list from movement onboard, wind, uneven load while underway, and/or prop torque.
Coordinated Turn
Seakeeper Ride automatically adjusts the heeling angle of your boat during turns for more comfort, increased safety, and better performance.
How does it Work?
Seakeeper Ride controllers are mounted to your boat’s transom, below the waterline. Using custom, proprietary inertial sensing hardware and software, the system understands how the boat is behaving in all three axes and commands deployment of the rotary blades to counteract pitch, roll, and yaw. As the blades are deployed, they create lift at the transom, managing the vessel’s motion instantaneously.
Why is it Better?
Wave motions can happen consistently or inconsistently, they can be big or small, and can come from any direction. Often, these motions occur in just milliseconds. Thanks to expert control software and hardware, Seakeeper Ride’s proprietary, rapid-deployment rotary blades make 100 adjustments every second to combat wave motions.
