When you picture a perfect day on the water, chances are it doesn’t include slamming into waves, passengers bracing for balance, or cutting a trip short because the ride is just too uncomfortable. For years, traditional trim tabs and hull designs were the only way to combat rough water. But now, a groundbreaking technology is changing the way boats handle chop and motion.
Introducing Seakeeper Ride™ — the world’s first active ride control system for recreational boats. More than just a rigging upgrade, it’s a complete transformation in how your vessel performs, handles, and feels on the water.
What is Seakeeper Ride™?
Seakeeper Ride™ is an innovative system mounted to the transom of your boat, designed to instantly control vessel motion. Using smart sensors and processors, it detects pitch, roll, and yaw up to 100 times per second. Then, with lightning-fast precision, it deploys small blades, called interceptors, to correct your boat’s motion before you even realize it’s happening.
Unlike trim tabs, which require manual adjustment, Seakeeper Ride™ is fully automatic. There’s no learning curve, no buttons to press, and no guesswork. The result is an effortless improvement in ride quality every time you get on the water.
The Technology Behind the Ride
What makes Seakeeper Ride™ so revolutionary is its speed. In the time it takes you to blink, the system has already adjusted multiple times to keep your boat steady. This proactive correction means it doesn’t just react to waves — it anticipates them and smooths them out before they impact your ride.
For boaters, this translates to a more predictable, controlled, and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re running offshore in sporty seas, navigating a busy channel, or simply taking the family out for a sunset cruise, Seakeeper Ride™ adapts instantly to keep your boat level and stable.
Benefits That Go Beyond Comfort
A Smoother, Drier Ride
By minimizing bow rise, spray, and pounding, Seakeeper Ride™ ensures passengers stay comfortable and dry. This is especially important for families with kids or guests who may not be seasoned boaters.
Reduced Seasickness and Fatigue
Constant rolling and slamming can lead to motion sickness and early fatigue. With Seakeeper Ride™, those issues are dramatically reduced, meaning you can stay on the water longer and enjoy your time instead of fighting discomfort.
Enhanced Safety and Control
A boat that stays level is a boat that’s easier to control. By stabilizing pitch and roll, Seakeeper Ride™ helps reduce dangerous maneuvers, improves turning performance, and gives you more confidence at the helm.
Better Fuel Efficiency and Performance
When your boat doesn’t fight against unnecessary drag and resistance, it runs more efficiently. Seakeeper Ride™ helps your boat accelerate quicker, plane faster, and use less energy to maintain speed. That means fewer fuel stops and more time on the water.
Who Can Benefit from Seakeeper Ride™?
This isn’t just for luxury yachts. Seakeeper Ride™ was designed for everyday recreational boaters who want to maximize their time on the water. Whether you own a center console for offshore fishing, a dual console for family cruising, or a sport boat for watersports, this system can completely transform the ride.
It’s also ideal for boaters who often bring guests aboard. If you’ve ever had a friend or family member cut their day short because of rough seas or seasickness, Seakeeper Ride™ is a game-changing solution.
Why It’s More Than an Accessory
Plenty of boating accessories improve your experience — upgraded audio systems, luxury seating, or custom lighting. But Seakeeper Ride™ goes further. It changes the way your boat interacts with the water itself, turning unpredictable seas into smooth, manageable rides. That makes it one of the most valuable rigging upgrades you can invest in today.
