Proving that there is no end to mankind’s ingenuity, two European technology firms have combined to solve an age-old problem: how do I play golf on my superyacht, on rolling seas?
Zen Golf, the world leader in adaptive moving-floor technology, and STABLE, pioneers of advanced marine stabilization, will unveil their latest breakthrough innovation for golf on-board at the Monaco Yacht Show (24–27 September 2025, Stand DS 38).
STABLE Zen Golf On-Board now offers golfers full-swing freedom on-deck with advanced stabilization technology, guaranteeing golfers truly authentic gradients while standing on the Zen Swing Stage even as the sea rolls beneath the vessel.
Using Virtual Golf 3 software powered by Trackman launch monitor technology, Zen Swing Stage and STABLE can recreate real-life ground conditions to enhance your play on-board at the world’s top golf courses – including the ability to challenge yacht-to-yacht in real time.
This immersive combination transforms your deck into the most exclusive, most connected golf course in the world, with stable conditions underfoot.
Below decks, Zen and STABLE also offer truly a stabilized putting experience, unaffected by the movement of water, with precisely-adjustable gradients recreating putts on the world’s greatest greens to millimeter-precision, including famous putts throughout Tour golf history.
And also coming soon to superyachts and golf academies worldwide is the brand-new Zen Eye augmented reality system, the ultimate add-on for Zen Green Stage owners, offering interactive visuals and ball-tracking overlays projected directly onto the surface.
Zen Eye enables gamified challenges and the ability to recreate iconic putts, host guest competitions, or even link into global events from the privacy of your home, golf studio or luxury superyacht.
This is more than mere simulator golf: this is live, adaptive and fully interactive golf, powered by STABLE, Zen Golf and Trackman technology.
The Zen/STABLE union creates an exclusive experience without rival, unavailable elsewhere in the superyacht market.
Both technologies are integrated, intelligent, and invisible until activated. Engineered for realism but built for luxury, whether you are enjoying golf privately, entertaining guests or connecting with other golfers on yachts worldwide, STABLE Zen Golf On-Board redefines golf for the superyacht lifestyle.
“Golf at sea has truly come of age. This is an ever-moving golf floor for an ever-moving ocean” said Nick Middleton, Zen Golf Founder & CEO. “Adjustable Zen playing surfaces already provide the ultimate golf experience in 27 countries worldwide, and we have now reimagined this experience for superyachts.
“By combining the adjustable Swing Stage and Green Stage with STABLE’s specialized platforms, golfers can now hit shots and putts which are not affected by waves,” said Middleton. “Now, you can stand securely on the tee or fairway while the vessel is rocking on the water. Balls roll straight and true despite the boat’s motion. Or, with our adjustable gradients, you can create unlimited breaking putts which you make up yourself, to delight your guests on-board, or even recreate history’s most famous putts.”
Many yachts have on-board stabilizers, but they are generally not accurate enough to enable the satisfactory playing of sports such as golf or billiards, which involve a precise ball roll. The STABLE/Zen system enables revolutionary levels of ball stability, leaving the playing surface unaffected by the movement of water.
Svend Heier, CEO of STABLE, said: “We are thrilled to deliver another world first to the yachting segment. Pairing our unique gyro-stabilization with Zen’s Green Stage is a true game-changer for golf lovers on-board.”
