Boat Ladder FAQs

Can you add a ladder to a boat?

Yes. There are a variety of ways that you can add a ladder to your boat and we highly recommend it. Even if you think you will never swim off of your boat, you still want to have one. The most important reason is for safety reasons. In the unlikely event that somebody falls overboard, you want to be able to get them back on the boat easily. Another great reason to have a boat ladder is you can have more fun! Being able to swim or even just jump in for a quick cool-off is fun for all. Having a reliable boat ladder so that you can easily get back on the boat is the first step in getting that fun started!

What is a transom ladder?

A boat's transom is the vertical section that reinforces and strengthens the boat's stern. It extends from the stern to the bow. A transom ladder attaches directly to the transom of your boat and hangs down over the stern. Transom ladders can be fixed or removable and there are flip-up, telescoping, compact, and emergency options.

How much weight can a boat ladder hold?

The amount of weight that a boat ladder can hold will vary between different ladders. For the most part, high-quality boat ladders will hold a weight capacity of between 250-400 lbs. Please check the owner's manual or specifications of a boat ladder for exact weight capacity rules.

What is the '#1 Tip' for buying a boat ladder?

Our best piece of advice when buying a boat ladder is to make sure that it is easy to use. You want to easily board the ladder, easily climb up and down, and easily get off the ladder. You want to make sure that the rungs and the handrails are big enough and correctly placed to make them easy to use. If you use your boat in cooler conditions you will want to consider that too. Small, round rungs can be painful on feet in cold conditions. You also want to make sure that the steps are slip-resistant.
