Boarding and Emergency Reboarding Ladders

Emergency reboarding ladders help a swimmer or crew-overboard person get back onto the boat. Choose by freeboard, rung style, deployment location, and whether the ladder can be reached from the water.

Boarding ladder questions

Hard rungs or soft rungs?

Hard rungs are usually easier to climb under stress. Soft ladders stow compactly, but the crew still needs to be able to deploy and climb them from the water.

How should I check the mounting position?

Confirm freeboard, attachment strength, reach from the water, and whether the ladder can be deployed by the person who needs it.
