What Alternative is there to the Seakeeper Gyro Stabilizer?
For boat owners seeking an alternative to Seakeeper stabilization systems, there are several options to consider. Other industry competitors including zero speed stabilizers by Naiad as well as other Technology for vessel control introduced by Imtra, DMS Holland and Humphree boast that their performance is better than Seakeeper Stabilization. While each of these alternatives offers unique features and benefits, catering to different preferences and requirements in boat stabilization, they also simply do not have the same ability to stabilize vessels in any condition. The most important information to note and these stabilizers is that none of them actually work 100% at rest. The Seakeeper stabilizers brings comfort to boating at speed and at rest leaving you and your crew and family happier and safer 100% of the time.
Alternatives to SeAkeeeper?
Does The Seakeeper Gyro have any REAL competition in the yacht and boating stabilization market? We try to answer this question for our readers here.
What are the alternatives to Seakeeper?
Historically, there have been many boat stabilizers on the market such as fin stabilizers, trim tabs and other extrusions, However, Seakeeper’s main industry competition comes in the form or other Gyro stabilizers such as Veem Gyro, Quick Gyro, ARG and the newer Smart Gyro. The blunt truth is that none of these stabilizers hold a candle to the support and technology that the Seakeeper standard provides.
Why Does the Seakeeper have No competition?
As we compare the products below, you will come to see why the Seakeeper Stabilizer truly has no other competition in the boat stabilizer market. Seakeeper, inc has worked hard to stay on top of the boat and yacht stabilization market by providing the best and most up to date technology and service in the Marine Industry. Their commitment to making their product better, year after year, is unparalleled.
Seakeeper VS Competition: Unit WeighT
One issue with other Gyro Stabilizer’s on the market is the massive weight of the competitor units. Most all of the other boat and yacht stabilizers on the market come up to 50% larger and heaver, for the vessel they are stabilizing, than the Seakeeper. A larger and heavier Gyro’s give less options to work with during a stabilization refit as well as cause other issues with a vessel such as ride, fuel and energy usage, and capacity. See all of our unit specifications on our Seakeeper Price and Info Page.
Seakeeper VS Competition: Unit POWER
Adding to the list of defects on other Yacht stabilizers on the market is the excess power draw of the Seakeeper competition. Most of the other Gyro stabilizers on the market require upwards of double or more of the power draw as the Seakeeper Gyro. Often times the electrical requirements alone, of these other gyro’s, make them an impossible option for specific vessels.
Seakeeper VS Competition: UNIT PERFORMANCE
The Seakeeper active control system comes with the smartest stabilization software on the market. The Seakeeper Stabilizer’s built in software provides technology to read the sea conditions as they are happening and communicates with the unit to recover and respond quicker to the wave action.
Also, compared to most Yacht and Boat Stabilization systems the Seakeeper performs at rest and underway. With Seakeeper you can be safe and comfortable on the water in any condition.
Seakeeper VS Competition: UNIT COOLING
Many other Gyro Stabilizers on the market encounter issues such as overheating due to overworking or being air cooled in a hot environment. The Seakeeper Stabilization system will never have this issue. The Seakeeper is cooled with their patented cooling system which removes heat by utilizing a heat exchanger through a glycol/seawater exchange. Due to the fact that the sphere itself is vacuum encapsulated in helium there is very little heat created so most of the Seakeeper units only pull water on demand.
SEAKEEPER VS COMPETITION: Service AND HISTORY
Seakeeper provides a network over 300 dealerships globally, to offer Seakeeper Service and support when needed. No other Gyro Stabilizer can even come close to have that many dealers providing stabilizers service and maintenance.
Why is Seakeeper the best in the industry?
In summary, The Engineers behind Seakeeper spare no time nor expense in their persistence to continue to be the best of the best in boat and yacht stabilization. Their innovative technology and consistant forward thinking towards newer and better products as well as support, is the biggest difference between Seakeeper and it’s competitor’s.
Tri Sea Stabilizers is the best and largest Seakeeper Service and Seakeeper installation world wide. We offer Seakeeper service and Seakeeper installations on the East Coast and have Brick and Morter locations in Florida and North Carolina in the following locations: Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Pensacola, Islamorada, Miami and Wilmington.

WE ARE COMBINING THE JULY AND AUGUST NEWSLETTER BECAUSE THERE ARE NO ANNIVERSARY’S AND ONLY ONE BIRTHDAY IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST.
BLUE MARLIN GRAND CHAMPIONSHIPS
Tim, Mario and John traveled to meet up with Luke this month to support the Annual Blue Marlin Grand Championship in Orange Beach, Alabama. A large percentage of the boats in the tournament are current and past service clients through their own accord or via Galati Yacht Sales and Pensacola Marine Center. It was nice to run into so many of them at the tournament and be there to offer support if needed. As you can see from the photo to the left, the winner was a monster.
Tim, John, Luke and Mario sweat their butts off again, walking all the docks and jumping in engine rooms to inspect units before they launched into the 3 day tournament.
COMING NEWS
We have some exciting news coming regarding a tooling assistance program we are putting into place within the company but we have not finalized all of the details yet. We hope to have the news live and in detail in the August Newsletter. Stay Tuned!

WES - Seakeeper Installation Technician for Tri Sea Stabilizers
WESLEY MCCOOL 4 Years / FORT LAUDERDALE, FL
It is hard to believe it has been 4 years since this wonderful young man stepped into the Tri Sea family. He started with us with no real knowledge of Seakeeper or boats in general. The amount of industry knowledge he has learned and conquered in the last 4 years is amazing and admirable.
Everyone knows that Wes shows up every day with a smile and works his Butt off not matter the conditions, no matter the weather, no matter the boat, no matter the location and no matter Seakeeper task and he leaves smiling every day.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Evidently Wes is the man to go to if you need a “Dilly Bean” fix. It is also rumored he loves XBOX, the Beach, his family and softball. So, if you are craving Dilly Beans, you are welcome!
STEVE TEJEDA 2 Years / FORT LAUDERDALE, FL
Because Steve is not much for and Social Media (do not start him on Tik Tok lol) It was difficult to find a fitting photo to use. But I think he would be happiest having his bestest friend who he adores pictured in his stead.
Steve’s arrival at Tri Sea brought with it Intelligence, charm and many hours of comedy relief. Steve came to us knowing one thing, that he loved the Seakeeper product. Steve is not only on of the hardest working employees I have ever met, he is quite literally our biggest cheerleader. He is proud to be a part of our team and we are proud to have him.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Steve Love Love Love Loves his Country and is proud to live in the greatest country in the world. He also loves to homestead on his property in “Homestead” with his animals and vegetable garden.
CONNOR BARNES 1 Year / NC
Many of you may not know that the man behind the computer came to us from the UK after he married the love of his life; who happens to live in NC. (OK well if you have spoken with him on the phone you may have guessed from the accent:)
Most of you know he works very hard on one of the most annoyingly frustrating jobs in the company - keeping our technology straight. What many of you may not know is that he also runs all of our google adwords and business listing SEO as well as works together with our parts department to keep the back end of Gyroparts.com running smooth.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Connor works remote from his Wife’s hometown of Brevard NC. He and his wife love gaming and hanging out with their new baby girl and family.

GYRO SHENANIGANS
Most of you have met Gyro and are aware that he is used to being an only fur child! A few weeks ago a dopey, smiling, starving and dehydrated hound dog followed Tim 2 miles home on a run. After nursing her to health and checking with everyone in the county, the shelters, the vet hospitals etc, our neighbor told us “Congratulations, you are the proud new parents of an Appalachian Bonus Dog”. So, although a bit hesitant about sharing, it appears that Gyro has accepted an adopted sister into the household. Everyone welcome “Honey” to the Tri Sea family!

June 1. 2024
Apologies for the tardy Seakeeper news this month. We had a very busy month of Seakeeper Events as well as we were waiting for confirmation on a few things prior to release. We are announcing 1 this month and 1 next month because we were not able to finalize all the plans.
MaJOR ANNIVERSARY’s
Before we mention anything we want to mention a huge milestone hit by 2 employees this month. Eric Fromen and Joe Mann hit 6 years with Tri Sea Stabilizers this year. It has not been an easy 6 years with an up and coming company which, in the words of the great Buddy Aimar, has more often than not.. “felt like drinking water through a fire hydrant”. There is more in the Anniversary section on this but, they started with us in the beginning and have stuck by us though the years. We are very grateful to them and their family’s! Happy Big 6 guys!!!!
Upcoming Holiday News
The biggest news of the month is that we have decided to take Friday after July 4th off as a company. Everyone should try to hit their 30 hours by Wednesday evening and will be paid for the 40.
BIG ROCK
John and Steve traveled this month to the Annual Big Rock Tournament in North Carolina and worked their tails off representing the Tri Sea and Seakeeper brand at the biggest tournament on the East Coast. They not only saw many familiar faces both from the West and East coast of Florida as well as NC, but made a ton of new relationships and made many Captains Happy, that they were there to get them back on the water.

Anniversary’s
Join us in Saying Happy Anniversary to your Team mates!
ERIC FROMEN 6 Years / FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - The man, THE LEGEND!. We still don’t know everything our office staff said to him in 2018 to get Eric to come be a part of this crazy team! However, we are sure glad they got him to leave his corporate big machine position and join us at Tri Sea Stabilizers.
He has busted his butt with this company in so many ways and in so many different locations it is hard to find a way to tell him how grateful we are to have him on our team! He took a leap of faith to take a job with our tiny mom and pop because he saw the potential for the future.
Many of you may not know that Eric, like Tim and I, spent almost 2 years traveling back and forth, away from his family to work for us and to work towards his dream.
We have learned much and grown a ton together because of Eric.
Eric is an avid Angler and just loves to fish any chance he gets.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: When he is not fishing or working on his or his kids cars, in his free time, Eric loves to binge on netflix series if it gains his attention.
JOSEPH MANN 6 Years / TAMPA, FL The “Mann” Joe Mann! We are grateful for our friend Coty Garrett, who works at Seakeeper,Inc, for introducing us to a great diagnostic auto mechanic who was looking for a life change in 2018. Having worked on cars all his life he was looking for a new challenge and boy did he find one with us.
Joe also traveled A LOT in those early years. It’s not easy to find someone you can trust to represent your company on any dock anywhere and we found that in Joe immediately. Joe was basically home for weekends and Holidays the first year of his employment with Tri Sea and he busted his butt on the road for us, living that lifestyle until Seakeeper’s were prevalent enough that he could finally have enough work to stay home on the West coast.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Joe loves to fish and, as you can see from the photo to the right, it runs in the family. Joe also loves to ski and snowboard and takes his vacations every year with family and friends to make that happen.
MICHAEL DAVIES 2 Years / TAMPA, FL Michael spent a lot of time sailing the waters of the Northeast. Growing up with a love of water it seems natural that he entered the Coast Guard which is eventually what brought him to the Tampa area.
Michael knew he wanted to be in the Marine Industry and came to us looking for just what we wrote in our advertisement. A career he liked with people he liked instead of “just a job”.
We truly hope that he found the long term team he was looking for! He is one of the hardest working team players we have ever encountered in business and would do just about anything for a teammate in need!
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Michael is a car enthusiast and loves all things automotive. His favorite Holiday is Christmas!
DAVID MUNNE 1 Years / FORT LAUDERDALE David also came to us as a veteran of the Coast Guard via the Miami Station.
In his first year with us he has grown leaps and bounds in his Seakeeper Technical experience. He was hired to man the more Northern side of the East Coast of Florida. It is an area our guys had a hard time hitting on the daily due to traffic and how busy they already were in their area.
As our main Seakeeper Technincian between the Fort Pierce, Stuart and West Palm area he has already made name for himself and Tri Sea as the continued area go to for all things Seakeeper.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: He is a happy Baseball dad and is his kids biggest fan.

We are extremely excited to be a part of this wonderful cause as well as attend to provide support to our clients and industry partners.

Government Contract
2024 has already been full of good tidings. Recently, we were contacted ( along with every other Florida Dealer) by several contracting companies to bid on 2 Army vessels for them. What they did not know is that we had also been contacted directly by the Patrick Airforce Base to place our own bid directly. Tri Sea is not only Veteran owned but we also already have our own SAMS membership enabling us to contract directly with the government.
All bidders had to show up to inspect the vessels at a prescribed time together. That exact time was right in the middle of the Miami boat show. Tyler stood in for us at the inspection and obviously did a great job representing Tri Sea. Thank you Tyler!
We found out last week, that we got the contract for both boats. We are excited to start adding this technology to these boats not only for the sale but for future safety of troops of all branches. We hope it is the first in a long line of government contracts to come.
Invitation To the panhandle!
For many years many of our clients have been requesting that we offer support to them in the Panhandle are of Florida. We have traveled for them in a true emergency but we have always held back because of difficulty in flights getting out there and not having a true home base in the area.
We were recently introduced to Bob Anderson of the new Pensicola Marine Center (Formerly Pensicola Shipyard). Bob Came to the Marine Center with 3 decades of yard management, most of which had been with Saunders Marine. Bob has invited us, with open arms, to set up our Seakeeper Service Support shop in what we think may be the greatest Marine center on the East Coast, rivaling competition such as Saunders and Jarrett Bay. Installations will come in the future, but our biggest aim is to handle our traveling clients that fill the panhandle regularly. In employee news below you will note, we already have our first hire for that area. We plan to wait to announce it publicly until he is back from training with a truck and all the equipment needed for support.

THANK YOU ALL!
The biggest news we have from the month of February is at this years Miami International Boat Show we were, once again voted the best of the best in Seakeeper. This year they threw a twist in and gave us separate awards for “Best In Seakeeper Service”, “Best in Seakeeper Marketing” along with “Dealer of the Year”.
This is the first time in Seakeeper history, one dealer has won all three awards. How, you ask, did we get them? YOU, that’s how. I don’t watch football but I make a lot of metaphors about it that may or may not make sense. But coaches can make moves and plan the very best play but get no where without the team to carry it out. You all are the reason we are what we are. You are all so amazing and I wish you all could have been there to see the pride we had in all of you!

HEIDI THOMPSON 1 Years / WILMINGTON NC - Many of you may not know that the happiest voice in the company came to us from the world of teaching. She was an elementary school teacher in Wilmington NC which must be the reason she commands our clients attention and melts their hearts at the same time. When Heidi started with us as our “Customer Happiness Specialist”, she had never been on a boat with a Seakeeper stabilizer before. Thankfully, that has changed. She is one of our biggest fans and has a true Team spirit. Happy 1 Year Heidi!!!
CAMERON OGLE 1 Years / WILMINGTON Cameron is the most persistent applicant we ever encountered. His love of Seakeeper and the science behind it constantly drew him to our boat when it was in town. Once we invited him in to an interview it was obvious we had to hire him. He has worked extremely hard, not only learn the service and installation process, but has excelled at the fabrication side of the house putting out some beautiful fiberglass work. Happy 1 year Cam!!!!

Every day, Tim and I are grateful for all of you. We know how hard you are all working every day! Thank you for every day you show up and give us and our clients your amazing energy!

The photo you see to the right was taken recently at the Wilmington, NC Boat Show. Barb’s Mom was in the hospital so the kids had to suit up and get to work so she could be with her. Everyone is good and healthy now and the kids learned a lot about the Seakeeper product as well as how to talk about the Seakeeper Product to people who still think it is some sort of Circus trick ( They also got a lot of candy from other vendors for their trouble lol) The point is, without all of you manning you jobs in your respective locations we could not get out there and work these shows the way we do and bring in the business that we do. You guys all make this happen!

Seakeeper Annual Dealer Review
In December, we had our Seakeeper Annual Dealer review and audit. This meeting week seems to get bigger and run longer every year due to our Company growth. It is something Seakeeper does with every single Seakeeper Dealer and each location across the board (which means 4 times under the gun for us). It involves a ton of prep work and completing boring spreadsheets for them leading up to the event, to answer all of their questions and hear their feedback. Thank you for being patient with us at the close of last year with how busy we were preparing and focusing on this meeting.
During our Seakeeper corporate annual Review, we learned a lot about the industry as a whole and how we measured up compared to other dealers. Here is what we can tell you about 2023 in close:
As a company, we performed around 1800 services and 143 Installations by the end of the year and grew the install department and company as a whole around 7% in a year when almost no other dealer grew. THAT IS HUGE!!!!!!! Great JOB. Steady growth is what every company can hope for.
From our installation team to working with Service techs to admin. Everyone at Seakeeper gave ALL OF YOU 5 stars and raved about our entire team.
We at Tri Sea have the most certified Seakeeper Master Tech’s globally and the most Seakeeper FRB certified technicians.
While there has been a slowdown in the OEM market, Boat and Yacht builders are not complaining, because their sales numbers are still so far ahead of what was projected for 2023 pre-covid.
Our competition is not providing the Seakeeper training and standards that we are providing to our employees as well as our Vendor and Broker clients and Seakeeper clients themselves.
The Seakeeper 10.5 and Seakeeper 14 were introduced along with their specs and info. Important to note that both of these units will fit in the same space as a Seakeeper 9. WOW Check out the new Seakeeper pricing and Seakeeper sizing information for all Seakeeper units on our Seakeeper Price and Info Page of our website; whenever you need them.
The nuts and bolts of the meeting are that Seakeeper wanted to know, how are you guys doing what you are doing the way you are doing it. THE ANSWER IS YOU! Thank you for making us look good!
