Ride Better: Why Seakeeper Ride Is the Perfect Match for Your Regulator

Regulator has always offered an unbeatable ride…and now it’s enhanced by Seakeeper Ride, the latest innovation from Seakeeper, the global leader in marine motion control. Known for revolutionizing stability with their gyrostabilizers, Seakeeper is once again redefining the standard for smooth performance on the water.

You may ask, Seakeeper Ride vs. Seakeeper Gyro: What’s the Difference?

Seakeeper is a gyrostabilizer, typically installed below deck, that eliminates up to 95% of side-to-side boat roll. It’s ideal for staying stable at rest or while drifting offshore at slower speeds.

Seakeeper Ride is a transom-mounted Vessel Attitude Control SystemTM (VACS) that offers complete underway stabilization. Seakeeper Ride corrects motion before you even feel it—eliminating pitch, roll, and yaw. 

 

Let’s dive into Seakeeper Ride some more and talk about how it works.

Seakeeper Ride controllers are mounted to your boat’s transom, below the waterline. Using custom, proprietary inertial sensing hardware and software, the system understands how the boat is behaving in all three axes and commands deployment of the rotary blades (up to 100 times per second) to counteract pitch, roll, and yaw. As the blades are deployed, they create lift at the transom, managing the vessel’s motion instantaneously.

And it's fully automatic: no controls to adjust, no input required. Just turn it on and enjoy the ride.

With Seakeeper Ride, your Regulator stays steady, smooth, and responsive, giving you confidence no matter what conditions you’re running in.

Seakeeper Ride is quickly becoming a must-have for serious center console boats and boaters - here’s why:

1. Dramatic Reduction in Pitch, Roll and Yaw
   Seakeeper Ride reacts before your boat does, flattening the impact of waves and choppy conditions. The result? Smoother, more enjoyable trips, even when the forecast isn’t perfect.

2. Hands-Free Operation
   Forget constant trim tab adjustments. Seakeeper Ride is fully automatic and constantly adapting. No captain can adjust the trim tabs 100 times in a single second – the speed needed to eliminate motions before they’re felt.

3. Better Handling and Visibility
   With less bow rise during acceleration, you’ll have better visibility from the helm—especially helpful during tight maneuvers or when cruising in low-light conditions or heavy boat traffic.

4. Enhanced Comfort for Everyone Onboard
   A more stable ride means less fatigue and more comfortable passengers. Whether you’re fishing offshore or cruising with family.

5. Increased Resale Value
   Ride stabilization is quickly becoming a major selling point in today’s market. Adding Seakeeper Ride to your Regulator center console boat increases appeal and long-term value.
