WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT HERE It's true that we make extraordinary products, but our favorite part about Seakeeper is our people!

We believe in participative leadership.

That means you have the freedom to make a difference and contribute to the larger goal, regardless of your position.

Great ideas can strike at any moment, and when you have one, you're empowered to speak up!

We are constantly pushing (or crushing) boundaries.

Stagnant or bored are about as opposite from Seakeeper as you can get!

We move quickly and if there is something that can be improved upon, we jump on it.

WHO WE ARE 71% of our Earth is covered by water and we want everyone to make the most of it.

That's why we are committed to creating products that transform the boating experience with an organization that employees want to work for, customers want to buy from, and vendors want to partner with.

Our gyro stabilizers eliminate boat roll and create a land-like experience on the water.

We defy gravity and completely change the way people spend time on the water.

We started the company 12 years ago, and now 50% of the boats built annually in our core market are Seakeeper equipped.

With our recent introduction of smaller units that are ideal for boats as small as 23 feet, there is a long road of growth ahead!
