Gyro exploded view
Riviera – The Humphree Effect

Powerful performance:  
Highest angular momentum per m² in its class  

Exceptional torque density:  
Around 30% more torque than comparable
systems in the same size bracket

Fast, efficient spool-up:
10 minutes to stabilization, 22 to full speed

Installation flexibility:
Industry-aligned dimensions, enabling direct installation in existing gyro-allocated spaces
 
Reliable by design:  
Lower bearing speed (7,500 rpm) for extended lifespan

Active mechanical control: 
Delivers consistent stabilization across all sea states

Combine the gyro

We offer our gyro integrated with fins and interceptors in a 3 or 2-component stabilization solution for your boat

A NEW STANDARD IN MARINE STABILIZATION

Introducing 3-component stabilization

Easy control with automatic systems

HCS-5 SYSTEM

royal-huisman Humphree equipped
PILOT BOAT

The HCS-5 system combines exceptional mechanical quality with electronic control including motion sensors and world class brushless servo motors to provide instant and exact response to the hull dynamics.

Adding the fine-tuned boat control options Automatic Trim, Automatic List, Coordinated Turn or Stabilization Control will result in optimum comfort and performance regardless if the captain is a seasoned expert or a less experienced operator.

All the units are connected with watertight cables with the servo motors positioned protected inside the hull. HCS-5 can easily be upgraded with more functions, interceptors trim tabs and fins.

RCU

Humphree Control Unit – the brain behind it all

Behind every Humphree product, whether you choose one, two or three components - there is a control unit. It continuously monitors vessel motion and coordinate all components in real time. It does not simply react to waves. It anticipates and proactively counteracts motion before it occurs. The more components you add, the greater the integration between them.

Backed by worldwide remote support.

All our systems support remote access, ensuring world-class assistance regardless of location. We can diagnose issues, perform remote sea trials, and configure systems worldwide. The result is peace of mind, greater convenience and a safer, more enjoyable boating experience.

What we do

  • Remote diagnostics and fault‑finding to identify issues quickly.
  • Secure software updates and configuration of our packages.
  • Commissioning support and performance tuning to optimize all functions.
  • Guided remote training for owners and crew to get the most from your system.
  • Reduced downtime and fewer service visits, resulting in more days at sea.
