Silverton Marine and Ovation Yacht dealers and customers around the world have been requesting Seakeeper Gyro Stabilization Systems. After extensive testing and successful retrofits and factory installations, the boatbuilder now lists Seakeeper gyros as a standard option on all its Silverton and Ovation models over 43′ in length.
“We’ve had such a strong demand for the Seakeeper gyros from dealers and owners that it made sense for us to offer it,” said Silverton VP of sales and marketing Brett Marshall. “When mooring or docking, the gyro makes a huge difference, especially in the bridge. The stability is amazing. It takes weather and sea conditions right out of the equation.”
Established in 1969, Silverton builds comfortable, luxury motor yachts, including stylish sport bridges and T-series convertibles. Combining advancements in design, engineering and manufacturing, Ovation Yachts brings performance, value and comfort to a new level.
A leader in stabilization technology, Seakeeper gyros deliver a powerful righting force that virtually eliminates boat rock and roll for unmatched onboard comfort. Actively controlled, they optimize torque and are highly effective over a range of conditions. The units supply superior stability at anchor, zero and low speeds, as well as while underway.
