Seakeeper Ride Adoption Accelerates Across Additional Boat Lineups
Record Model Year 2027 expansion adds 148 integrated and standard models across 37 boat brands
FORT MYERS, Fla. (August 6, 2026) – Seakeeper, Inc., the global leader in marine motion control, announced today the largest model year integration expansion in Seakeeper Ride history. For Model Year 2027 (MY2027), Seakeeper Ride is now offered on an additional 148 boat models across 37 brands as factory-integrated equipment, marking a major milestone in the industry’s adoption of complete underway stabilization technology.
Seakeeper Ride is now offered on more than 600 boat models across 120 OEMs worldwide, with nearly 300 models featuring the system as standard equipment. The continued growth reflects a broader shift in consumer expectations and builder adoption globally.
“Consumer demand continues to grow as more boaters experience Seakeeper Ride,” said Will Cimino, Chief Commercial Officer at Seakeeper. “Builders are responding by expanding integrations and making Seakeeper Ride standard across more models. Adding 148 new integrations and having shipped more than 15,000 systems to date are powerful indicators of where the market is headed. Eliminating up to 70% of pitch and roll underway is no longer an option, it’s today’s boaters’ expectation.”
The new integrations span a broad range of vessel types, from center consoles and bay boats to cruisers, trawlers, dual consoles, sportfishing vessels, catamarans and pontoons. Seakeeper Ride continues to gain traction with both new partners and those expanding their lineup of standard integrations. Brands integrating or standardizing Seakeeper Ride for MY2027 include: Caymas Boats, Cobia Boats, Costa Custom Boats, Intrepid Powerboats, Invincible Boats, Maritimo, MJM Yachts, Nor-Tech Boats, Pathfinder Boats, Princess Yachts, Pursuit Boats, Ranger Tugs, Sailfish Boats, Scout Boats, SeaVee Boats, SeaPro Boats, Starcraft Marine, Sylvan Marine, and Tidewater Boats.
“Seakeeper Ride aligns with our commitment to continuously improve the ownership experience through thoughtful, purpose-driven innovation,” said Dan Freer, General Manager of Maverick Boat Group. “By expanding Seakeeper Ride’s integration across more of our Cobia and Pathfinder model lineup, and standardizing it on most models, we’re able to deliver a more confident ride for our customers while continuing to elevate the usability of our boats.”
The record-setting model year integration builds on the rapid momentum Seakeeper Ride has achieved since launching just four years ago. The growth has been further fueled by continued product line expansions and broadened compatibility across a wider range of boat sizes, hull configurations, and applications.
“Sailfish has always been focused on building boats that inspire confidence, whether you’re heading offshore, fishing with friends, or spending the day with family,” said Rob Parmentier, President & CEO of Sailfish Boats. “The Seakeeper Ride system makes operating the boat easier, safer, more accommodating, comfortable and further enhances the incredible ride characteristics of a Sailfish VDS hull. Integrating Seakeeper Ride across more of our lineup allows us to deliver greater comfort, control, and confidence on every trip.”
Seakeeper Ride offers systems for boats up to ~55 feet and is available for stepped or non-stepped, fiberglass or aluminum, multihull or monohull vessels equipped with a compatible MFD. Seakeeper Ride controllers mount to the boat’s transom below the waterline. Using proprietary inertial sensing hardware and software, the system takes 1,000 measurements per second to understand the boat’s behavior in all three axes. It then commands deployment of custom-designed rotary blades below the boat’s running surface, making 100 adjustments per second to create lift that automatically manages the vessel’s motions. Seakeeper Ride is also available for aftermarket installation through a global dealer network.
