If you’ve ever spent time on a boat, you know the rocking and rolling can go from exhilarating to exhausting pretty quickly. That’s where Seakeeper comes in — a revolutionary marine stabilization system that’s changing the way people experience life on the water.

Whether you’re fishing offshore, entertaining friends on a luxury yacht, or cruising with the family, Seakeeper offers a smoother, safer, and more comfortable ride.

What is a Seakeeper?

Seakeeper is a gyroscopic stabilization system designed to eliminate up to 95% of boat roll — the side-to-side motion that causes seasickness and fatigue. It uses a computer-controlled gyroscope mounted inside a vacuum-sealed sphere that spins at high speed. When your boat rolls, the Seakeeper’s internal flywheel generates torque that counteracts the motion, creating instant stabilization.

How It Works

Spin: Inside the Seakeeper, a flywheel spins at speeds up to 9,000 RPM.
Precession: The sphere tilts fore and aft, producing a powerful gyroscopic force.
Stabilization: That force pushes against the boat's roll, dramatically reducing side-to-side motion.

All of this happens automatically, with quiet, low-maintenance operation — and at the push of a button.

Why Boat Owners Love It

Comfort: Seakeeper nearly eliminates the rocking motion that causes seasickness.
Safety: A more stable platform reduces slip-and-fall accidents onboard.
Performance: With less motion, guests and crew can move more freely, even at anchor.
Value: Adding a Seakeeper can boost your boat’s resale value and market appeal.
Silent Operation: Unlike traditional fins, Seakeeper has no external appendages and runs quietly below deck.

Who Uses Seakeeper?

Seakeeper units are now installed on a wide range of boats, from 30-foot center consoles to 80+ foot yachts. They are a favorite among:

Sportfishermen who want a stable platform while trolling or drifting
Yacht owners entertaining guests in open water
Families with kids or elderly passengers prone to seasickness
Charter captains looking to enhance the guest experience
Really anyone looking for a smooth ride!

Is Seakeeper Right for Your Boat?

Seakeeper offers multiple models sized for vessels ranging from 23 feet to superyachts. The compact Seakeeper 1 is ideal for small center consoles, while the Seakeeper 35 is built for megayachts. Many new boats are now being offered with Seakeepers pre-installed, and retrofits are available for many existing hulls.

Seakeeper has become one of the most talked-about innovations in boating, and for good reason. It brings an entirely new level of comfort and luxury to life on the water. Whether you're spending a few hours offshore or living aboard full-time, once you’ve experienced boating with a Seakeeper — you’ll never want to go without it again.
