Set to debut at Metstrade 2025, the new battery-powered SG20 marks another leap forward in Smartgyro’s mission to deliver quieter, cleaner, and more efficient marine stabilization.
Smartgyro, a global leader in marine stabilization technology, will unveil a new battery-powered integration for its SG20 gyroscopic stabilizer at Metstrade, 18–20 November.
The SG20’s new battery-powered integration ensures uninterrupted comfort, even when the generator is turned off. This is a significant step in Smartgyro’s ongoing mission to design stabilization systems that meet real-world boating needs and elevate the onboard experience.
Designed for owners who value both stability and serenity, the upgraded SG20 operates smoothly and whisper-quietly, maintaining optimal performance without the background hum of a generator. Whether you’re enjoying dinner at anchor, settling in for a calm night on the water, or pausing between destinations, the SG20 delivers the same trusted stability with newfound silence and efficiency.
Carlo Gazerro, Sales Manager at Smartgyro, said:
“Today’s owners expect comfort that is immediate, seamless, and quiet. With this integration, we’ve responded to a real need in the 40–55 ft segment, delivering powerful stabilization without the hum of a generator. That means greater freedom, more enjoyable moments on board, and an added advantage for our dealer network: a solution that’s easier to recommend, integrate, and tailor to owner expectations.”
Innovation Inspired by Owners
This latest advancement was driven by direct feedback from owners of 40–55 ft yachts, who sought the benefits of Smartgyro stabilization without the need to keep a generator running continuously. Smaller generators, often operating at high RPMs, can be a primary source of unwanted background noise.
In response, Smartgyro engineered a flexible power integration that enables the SG20 to operate seamlessly on battery power for extended periods, without compromising stabilization performance or system reliability. The result is complete control, unmatched silence, and freedom to experience the sea on your own terms.
“We work closely with owners and shipyards to push the boundaries of onboard performance, comfort, and efficiency. This project is the result of that dialogue, and it’s already showing remarkable results in the field.” commented Fabrizio Stifani, R&D Manager at Smartgyro.
“We’re also exploring future enhancements, such as a smart adaptive speed function designed to intelligently balance performance and energy efficiency, further evolving our approach to intelligent, quiet, and sustainable stabilization.”
Proven Performance
As part of its ongoing innovation roadmap, Smartgyro successfully tested the new battery-powered SG20 aboard a Ferretti 52, integrating the stabilizer with a 6 kWh Mastervolt battery pack. The system has been in operation for over two years, consistently delivering the same trusted stability and reliability that owners expect from Smartgyro, now paired with a new standard of peace and quiet on board.
The owner confirms the results achieved on board:
“I was looking for a stabilizer that could perform in any sea state, but also operate quietly during the most peaceful hours on board. The SG20’s battery integration makes that possible: it runs for hours without the generator, while still delivering the stabilization I count on. It’s reliable, flexible, and perfectly fits the way I enjoy life on board.”
