Seakeeper Ride: Transforming Your Experience on the Water
Here at Starling Marine, we are always looking for ways to improve your time on the water. That’s why we are proud to offer installation of the Seakeeper Ride system, one of the most impressive upgrades we've seen yet. Designed to eliminate unnecessary pitch, roll, and yaw in real time, Seakeeper Ride is changing the game in boat handling and comfort.
We recently installed Seakeeper Ride systems on two 28’ Regulator boats for existing customers, and the results have been incredible. According to David Starling from Starling Marine, “The difference in the operation of the boat and the way it handles with the Ride system is tremendous.” From smoother acceleration, tighter turns, and a noticeably more level ride in choppy waters, Ride takes boating performance to a new level.
What Is Seakeeper Ride?
Seakeeper Ride is the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System™ (VACS) that uses custom-designed rotary actuators to automatically adjust the running angle of your boat up to 100 times per second. Unlike traditional trim tabs, Ride works instantly and continuously to counteract pitch and roll motions without any user input.
