A Major Milestone in Marine Stabilization

Seakeeper, Inc., the industry leader in marine motion control, is setting a new benchmark for Model Year 2026 with its largest expansion of Seakeeper Ride standard integrations to date. Forty-three new boat models across fifteen prominent manufacturers will now feature Seakeeper Ride as standard equipment. This milestone reflects the rapidly growing demand for built-in underway stabilization, which is becoming an expected feature rather than a luxury on modern vessels.

“The rapid adoption we’re seeing from our OEM partners shows a clear shift in expectations,” said Seakeeper President and CEO Andrew Semprevivo. “Comfort, control, and confidence are no longer luxury features—they’re becoming standard equipment, and Seakeeper Ride is leading that charge.”

Diverse Integration Across Boat Types

The new integrations span a broad range of vessel categories, including center consoles, dual consoles, sportfishing boats, and wake surf models. Notable brands embracing Seakeeper Ride as standard include Sea Pro Boats, Regulator Boats, and Yellowfin, among others.

Among the new OEM partners, Sea Pro Boats is introducing Seakeeper Ride as standard on seven models: the 225 FLXR, 245 FLXR, 240 DLX, 242 DLX, 265 DLX, 292 DLX, and 322 DLX.

“At Sea Pro, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation to deliver the best technology and features to our customers. That’s why we’ve partnered with Seakeeper Ride,” said Sea Pro Boats President Jimmy Hancock. “Seakeeper Ride takes the concept of trim tabs to the next level—doing it automatically and doing it faster than any human ever could. When it comes to real-time stability and ride control, nothing compares.”

Performance Meets Stability

Contender Boats is also deepening its integration by standardizing Seakeeper Ride on five 2026 models: the 24S, 25T, 28T, 30ST, and 32ST.

“Contender has built its legacy on delivering unmatched performance and fishability—offshore and inshore,” said Joe Neber, President of Contender Boats. “Standardizing Seakeeper Ride on five of our 2026 models is a natural next step. It helps our boats handle the tough stuff—tight runs, big water, heavy loads—and lets our owners stay focused on the chase. This is about running harder, pushing farther, and fishing exactly how, when, and where you want—without compromise.”

Technology That’s Reshaping Boating

This latest expansion builds on Seakeeper Ride’s continued momentum and innovation, including the release of larger systems designed for boats up to 55 feet, as well as the debut of 3D-printed Pocket Fit Kits. These kits simplify aftermarket installation on vessels with recessed trim tab pockets, improving compatibility and installation efficiency across a broader range of hull types.

Now standard on over 175 models from 33 OEM brands, Seakeeper Ride is also available as an aftermarket option. Its advanced technology—compatible with both fiberglass and aluminum hulls, stepped or non-stepped—relies on proprietary inertial sensing to take 1,000 measurements per second. These measurements inform a sophisticated control system that commands custom-designed rotary blades mounted beneath the boat’s running surface. With 100 adjustments per second, the system dynamically manages roll, pitch, and yaw to deliver a smoother, more controlled ride.

As Seakeeper Ride continues to expand its reach, it is not just enhancing boating experiences—it’s redefining what boaters expect from their vessels.
