SeaDrive CX – the world’s first portable golf simulator
Modern superyachts allow their owners and their guests not to give up their usual way of life and have on board all the components of their full life on the shore: offices, gyms, swimming pools, SPA and beauty salons, cinemas, cars… and, of course, their favorite golf clubs.
The British company Off the Deck and the American FunAir presented their new joint developments for playing golf on superyachts. Now it is much more interesting and convenient to hone your swing and practice your accuracy in the favorite game of the world’s business elite, political leaders and show business stars right on board.
Off the Deck developed the world’s first portable golf simulator SeaDrive CX specifically for superyachts, and FunAir complemented the wonder machine with floating green targets with authentic flags and eco-friendly, biodegradable golf balls that completely dissolve in water within 96 hours. For those who want to play with regular balls, there is also a solution – inflatable “gates” of various modifications with a quick-drying net and a special ball return system.
The simulator is made of carbon fiber, it is lightweight, resistant to moisture, salt and high temperatures and, in addition, is also equipped with a backlight, so you can play even in the dark. With its built-in camera, advanced monitoring and data analytics, SeaDrive CX allows guests to compete with other players, hone their swing based on feedback on the mechanics of the swing, learn something new and even simulate the game on the best golf courses in the world – from sun-drenched Pebble Beach to the oldest Scottish course St. Andrews.
Today, a special mat is most often used as a launch pad on board yachts, but there are also examples with a podium platform – like on the yacht Sunrays (shipyard Oceanco), or a built-in retractable platform – as it is implemented on the Lucky Lady (shipyard Oceanco). Moreover, there is also a gyroscopic version on the market from the British company Zen Green Stage, which independently adjusts the level of the platform and is able to imitate the slopes and unevenness of the natural landscape.
