Seakeeper, Inc. has unified its two flagship stabilisation technologies into a single intelligent platform, and the result is more than the sum of its parts. The integration delivers an average performance gain of around 20% beyond what the two products achieved when running alongside each other independently, with the combined system continuously adapting in real time to reduce pitch, roll, and yaw while a vessel is underway.
"We now have more than 50,000 customers on the water using one or both of our products, and builders continue to pair Seakeeper and Seakeeper Ride because nothing else delivers this level of stabilization," said Seakeeper President & CEO Andrew Semprevivo. "The products performed great together before, but this integration takes their performance to new heights, pushing our marketplace lead even further and reflecting our ongoing commitment to elevate the experience for the people who trust our technology and our brand."
Where previously the gyrostabiliser and Seakeeper Ride functioned as two parallel but separate systems, boaters with both installed now interact with a complete ecosystem covering all three axes of stabilisation. The U.S. Patent Pending integration comes at no cost to owners, delivered via a software update available to download from Seakeeper Ride's website from 1 April.
More than 40 boat builders already offer both technologies across their model ranges, and that level of commercial uptake has drawn strong endorsement from the manufacturing side of the industry.
"At Sportsman, we are always looking for ways to bring the latest technology together in a way that truly improves our customers' experience on the water," said Tommy Hancock, CEO of Sportsman Boats. "The deep integration of Seakeeper systems that work seamlessly together delivers real benefits our customers can feel right away. From greater comfort to a smoother, more controlled ride, it gives them added confidence every time they leave the dock and reflects the kind of thoughtful performance and innovation today's buyers are looking for."
Seakeeper says the integration also establishes a foundation for continued refinement and future feature releases, with the performance gains available at launch expected to grow over time.
The two technologies behind the platform have distinct origins. Seakeeper Ride, launched in 2022 and based in Fort Myers, Florida, is the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System, capable of eliminating up to 70% of pitch and roll on vessels up to around 55 ft while underway. The gyrostabiliser arm of the business has a longer history, founded in 2003 and brought to market in 2008. Manufactured in Leesport, Pennsylvania, it covers boats of 23 ft and greater and is credited with eliminating up to 95% of boat roll.
