Seakeeper Ride Levels Up

Since its debut in 2022, Seakeeper Ride—the latest innovation from Seakeeper, the company renowned for its gyrostabilizers—has been redefining what comfort and control look like on the water. Designed to tackle pitch, roll, and yaw with aerospace-inspired precision, the Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) has helped countless boaters experience smoother, safer, and more enjoyable outings. Now, with a major product line expansion, Seakeeper Ride is making waves again—this time for vessels up to 55 feet.
The core technology remains a game-changer: sensors that take 1,000 measurements per second, rotary actuators capable of 100 adjustments per second, and intelligent software that eliminates up to 70% of underway pitch and roll. From hole shot control to automatic trim and coordinated turns, Seakeeper Ride continues to deliver a seamless ride without any manual intervention. Just turn the key and enjoy the ride.
What’s new is the scale. Seakeeper recently unveiled five new models—Seakeeper Ride 900, 1050, 1125, 1275, and 1500—engineered to bring complete underway stabilization to larger boats between ~43-55 feet. These systems feature four controllers per system and aluminum construction, purpose-built for the greater demands of larger hulls. Whether you’re running a luxury cruiser or a serious sportfish, the same performance-enhancing, fatigue-reducing benefits are now available in a wider class range.

“The demand for Seakeeper Ride is growing rapidly. With standardizations on more than 125 models across 25 builders, plus 111% refit growth from Q1 2024 to Q1 2025, it’s clear that customers are demanding the performance that only Seakeeper Ride can provide,” said Seakeeper President and CEO Andrew Semprevivo. “Owners of boats in the 55-ft size range know Seakeeper better than most, as we’ve offered the Seakeeper gyro in that size range the longest. They expect excellence from us, and we know we can deliver.”
Whether installed as OEM equipment or added aftermarket via Seakeeper Ride’s global dealer network, more boaters can now enjoy the smoothest ride on the water—say goodbye to pounding and slamming!
With pricing for the larger systems starting at $23,500, the expanded Seakeeper Ride line offers a compelling upgrade for boaters who demand the highest level of comfort—especially those whose vessels are already equipped with Seakeeper gyros. Together, these technologies deliver unmatched stability at rest and underway. At the other end of the spectrum, the Seakeeper Ride 450 starts at just $4,500, making state-of-the-art motion control more accessible for smaller boats as well.
So, whether you’re punching through large Great Lakes chop or just looking to make a smooth, coordinated turn with a cocktail in hand, Seakeeper Ride is now more available—and more versatile—than ever.
