Meet the Seakeeper Ride KeyPad SKR01—the tactile, purpose-built keypad that puts the Seakeeper Ride Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) in your hands. Engineered for rugged marine environments, this physical, mountable control is designed to work with the Ride system and can be used outside the MFD application, giving you direct, on-deck access to stability at the touch of a button. One Hell of a Ride begins with intuitive control you can trust from the moment you turn the key.

Seakeeper Ride is the pioneering solution for vessel attitude, countering pitch, roll, and yaw underway. The system delivers up to a 70% reduction in underway motion, transforming how you handle chop, wakes, and fast turns. That means a calmer cockpit, less pounding on long crossings, and a more predictable ride for everyone on board.

• Up to 70% pitch and roll reduction underway for a noticeably smoother ride in a variety of sea conditions.
• List control that prevents unwanted vessel list caused by wind, uneven load, or prop torque, keeping your boat tracking true.
• Auto Trim automatically maintains the optimal running angle at any speed, reducing hull drag and improving efficiency.
• Hole Shot Control optimizes acceleration to get you on plane sooner, supporting better fuel economy during the transition to plane.
• Coordinated Turn automatically adjusts the heeling angle during turns for a more comfortable, safer handling experience.

The keypad is designed to complement the Ride system’s automatic nature. Seakeeper Ride is completely automatic, with no manual stabilization input required, so you can focus on navigating and enjoying the ride rather than tuning the controls.

Hardware and installation are optimized for the boat’s layout: the Ride controllers reside on the transom near the engines, with the keypad serving as the primary human interface. This transom-mounted approach keeps controls within easy reach and preserves a clean helm area while delivering instant access to stabilization adjustments when you need them.

Seakeeper Ride and its SKR01 keypad are suitable for a wide range of vessels seeking a more comfortable, confident on-water experience. The Ride family has been demonstrated on boats varying in size and design, offering a powerful upgrade to stability without requiring a complicated, manual stabilization process. For boaters who want better planing, steadier sightlines, and reduced seasickness, this is a compelling upgrade.

Why choose Seakeeper Ride—and why now: Seakeeper’s aerospace-inspired technology targets motion at the source, delivering a smoother ride by actively damping underway pitch and roll. The Seakeeper Ride platform is widely recognized as the leading Vessel Attitude Control System, designed to enhance comfort, control, and confidence on every voyage.
