XO Boats is taking pioneering strides in the European boat market – “For the consumer who demands professional boats.”
XO Boats and Seakeeper, known for their innovative gyro stabilizers, are starting a collaboration with their newest product, Seakeeper Ride.
“We are among the first in Europe to bring Seakeeper’s newest product within reach of boaters,” says XO’s Erkki Talvela.
XO is thus a pioneer, offering Seakeeper’s new stabilization system, Seakeeper Ride, as standard equipment for all XO boat models.
The XO technical team has tested Seakeeper Ride’s suitability for various XO boats.
“Seakeeper Ride gives the deep V-hull, typical of XO boat models, excellent lateral balance,” says Talvela.
Seakeeper Ride is the first-of-its-kind Vessel Attitude Control System (VACS) that stabilizes the boat while underway.
Seakeeper Ride outperforms other self-leveling systems on the market and is completely automatic, providing increased safety, control, and comfort. It is installed outside the boat, below the waterline, replacing traditional trim tabs.
Customized, proprietary sensing hardware and sophisticated software understand how the boat behaves across all three axes and deploy rotary blades to counteract pitch, roll, and yaw.
The result is a considerably smoother driving experience, making boating in rough conditions more pleasant.
Seakeeper Ride perfectly aligns with XO’s ideology: XO Boats keep going when others stay in port.
“XO Boats is at the forefront of innovation, and by adding the only complete underway stabilization system available, they are providing their customers with the best possible boating experience,” says Harry Heasman, EMEA Sales Manager.
Whether you’re a new or seasoned boater, the improved ride, predictability, and handling of a boat equipped with Seakeeper Ride is incomparable.
“This partnership combines great boat building and design with unparalleled stabilization technology.”
Will Cimino, Chief Commercial Officer of Seakeeper Ride, states that by standardizing Seakeeper Ride across their entire model line-up, XO Boats is setting the bar for comfort and innovation.
“Seakeeper Ride is quickly becoming must-have technology for boaters globally. Furthermore, XO’s integration across their entire line-up 8-13m highlights the value of the product to boaters across all size ranges,” Cimino concludes.
For XO customers, cooperation with Seakeeper Ride means the most effective stabilization on the market, further enhancing the superior driving experience, says Talvela.
“We have always been pioneers, striving to build professional-level boats for the demanding consumer. Cooperation with Seakeeper Ride takes this vision even further.”
