About Seakeeper

Founded in 2008, we have grown from a start-up operation to the worldwide leader in marine motion control. The journey began with our gyrostabilization technology, which eliminates up to 90% of boat roll and creates a land-like experience on the water. This technology went from an unknown commodity to a must-have boating requirement in the first decade. In 2022, we added another jaw-dropping technology to our portfolio with the launch of Seakeeper Ride, a first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System which eliminates underway pitch and roll, making time on the water safer and more comfortable for everyone onboard.

We have long runways with both of our technologies with new addressable markets on the horizon and drive to push the boundaries of what our technologies can do. With dedicated focus to each segment, in addition to shared leadership of each vertical, we can balance the different demands of each segment while providing a consistent overall vision and direction of the company.

Ready for a new challenge in a fast-paced environment? Want to help us disrupt an industry? Come on and apply, we are ready for you!
