Seakeeper RideTM
Eliminates up to 70% of underway pitch & Roll providing Comfort, Control, & Confidence.
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.

Why Seakeeper Ride is 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.
Nothing compares to the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System, Seakeeper Ride, which can eliminate up to 70% pitch and roll underway.

How it works
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.
RUNNING ANGLE PERFECTION
Excuse us for getting a little techy, but our Trim Command CurveTM is something to geek-out over. This handy preset automatically sets your boat to your optimal running angle at any given speed. What does that mean for you?: The ideal trim, every time.
ELIMINATE UNDERWAY MOTION
We've conquered the motion of the ocean. Seakeeper Ride can eliminate up to 70% of underway pitch and roll. Your guests (and your knees) will thank you.
TURN OF THE CENTURY
Seakeeper Ride automatically adjusts the heeling angle of your boat during turns for a more comfortable feeling and better performance.
AUTO LEVELING
Seakeeper Ride’s automatic list control keeps the deck level regardless of uneven or moving weight distribution. And when we say automatic, we mean it. With Seakeeper Ride, you aren’t getting a finger workout making constant adjustments to combat list or heel. Think of it as your personal psychic, predicting motion and stopping it before it starts. So when your buddy crosses the deck to open the cooler (again), we’ve got you both covered.
YOU GET ONE SHOT
Nailing your hole shot is important for safety, performance, and fuel efficiency. Seakeeper Ride gives you a faster acceleration to get you on a plane faster without ever losing sight of the horizon.
FAQs
What is a Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS)?
Attitude Control Systems (ACS) are used in air and space crafts to control pitch, roll, and yaw underway. The introduction of Seakeeper Ride paved the way for the attitude control in the marine industry. We call it a Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS).
How is Seakeeper Ride different from conventional trim tabs?
Seakeeper Ride’s controllers create lift, much like conventional trim tabs, by creating a high-pressure wedge of water under the transom, in front of the controllers. This water wedge acts like trim tabs to lift the transom of the boat, but thanks to its proprietary software and rotary design, the Seakeeper Ride system moves significantly faster, creating the same force in a fraction of the time. Since Seakeeper Ride is fully automatic, the forces created by the controllers are used precisely and correctly on every wave, before it’s felt onboard, making Seakeeper Ride the only complete underway stabilization system available today.
Is there a benefit to having both Seakeeper and Seakeeper Ride?
For the most stabilized vessel both at rest and underway, and the greatest performance available in boating today, you want both Seakeeper and Seakeeper Ride. The addition of a Seakeeper enhances the underway performance of Seakeeper Ride by an additional ~10-20% from our tests, so we suggest you go for both if you can!
You can see performance reports for both Seakeeper and Seakeeper Ride installations, but keep in mind that each site only shows results for that product. Performance reports on both sites don’t include both Seakeeper and Seakeeper Ride together.
Where is Seakeeper Ride installed?
Seakeeper Ride’s controllers are mounted to both sides of the transom below the waterline. Additional components are installed inside a console and are wired to the controllers.
Does Seakeeper Ride come with a standard warranty?
Seakeeper Ride comes with a standard warranty covering 2 years from the date of delivery.
How do I choose between the Seakeeper Ride 750 (two controllers) and the Seakeeper Ride 750 Quad (four controllers) systems?
Most ~37-42’ boats will be able to fit the two controllers in the Seakeeper Ride 750 system. We recommend the Seakeeper Ride 750 system if the transom geometry allows for it. If there are obstructions or elements of the hull design that restrict the available space for the use of two larger controllers, the Seakeeper Ride 750 Quad system is an alternative that may make a Seakeeper Ride installation possible.
Why do the Seakeeper Ride 750 and Seakeeper Ride 750 Quad systems have aluminum blades instead of plastic blades?
To stabilize a larger boat, we needed to provide more span, or controller width, and operate the controllers at a high rate of speed and precision. To handle the increased loads generated as a result, we opted for a stronger material.
