Seakeeper, a leading marine stabilization company, is broadening its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partnerships by including its advanced stabilization systems as a standard feature on a larger selection of boat models from Parker Offshore, Regulator Marine, and SeaHunter Boats.
Effective immediately, Seakeeper Ride will be incorporated into 11 additional models from these brands.
"Mid-model year updates by these builders underscore the exceptional performance of Seakeeper Ride and its growing demand as an essential addition," stated Andrew Semprevivo, President and CEO of Seakeeper.
"Following the successful initial implementations, these three manufacturers are now fully committed to integrating our technology," Semprevivo added.
Designed for boats ranging from 19 to 42 feet, Seakeeper Ride can be installed on various hull types, including stepped or non-stepped, and made from fiberglass or aluminum. Suitable for boats with cruising speeds over 20 mph, the system requires a compatible Multi-Function Display (MFD).
The system's controllers are mounted on the transom below the waterline, employing proprietary inertial sensing technology that captures 1,000 data points per second to analyze the boat's motion in three dimensions.
Seakeeper Ride utilizes custom rotary blades, adjusting 100 times per second to generate lift and automatically stabilize the vessel's movement.
Parker Offshore, based in Beaufort, North Carolina, began standardizing Seakeeper Ride on its 2400 CC model in mid-2024 and is now extending this feature to six additional models.
"Incorporating Seakeeper Ride enhances our boat's performance, offering increased stability and comfort," commented Scott Bauer, President of Parker Boats. "This partnership is poised to redefine industry standards."
Regulator Marine, operating out of Edenton, North Carolina, has expanded its Seakeeper Ride-equipped offerings to include the new Regulator 35, beyond the initial three models already featuring the system.
Meanwhile, SeaHunter Boats, from Princeton, Florida, is also advancing its commitment by standardizing Seakeeper Ride on four more of its models.
"Making Seakeeper Ride a standard feature aligns with our dedication to customer satisfaction and represents a significant advancement in vessel control technologies," explained Chris Conard, Vice President of SeaHunter Boats.
This strategic expansion of Seakeeper's OEM partnerships highlights the industry's growing recognition of the value in advanced stabilization systems for enhancing the boating experience.
