Swim platforms and ladders that make getting back aboard easy
On a lot of hulls, getting out of the water and back on the boat is harder than it should be. A swim platform and a proper ladder fix that. On a bay boat or center console they also give you somewhere to stand when you're working at the stern.
Every platform here was built around what's already on the transom: a single outboard off to one side, twin engines, or a stern drive that needed a full-width platform.
Platform and ladder work
- Full-width transom swim platforms
- Side platforms next to an outboard
- Double platforms on center consoles
- Boarding ladders
- Step extensions for an existing ladder
- Black or bare aluminum finish
Built around your transom
A platform has to work with the motor, the steering and the shape of the transom, so there's no one-size version. Photos of the stern from straight on and from each side are the best place to start.
Common questions
Can you add a swim platform to a boat with an outboard?
Yes. Most of the platforms shown are on outboard boats, including a side platform next to a single motor.
My ladder is too short. Can it be extended?
Yes. A step extension on an existing transom ladder is one of the jobs in the gallery.
Do you build platforms for stern-drive boats?
Yes. The full-width platform with a ladder shown on this page is on an inboard stern-drive boat.
