Removable ladders

Removable ladders are an essential accessory for boats and inflatable boats, especially if you travel with children or pets. They make it easier to get back on board after a swim or in case of an emergency. Choose the model based on the height of your hull and the type of use.

We have ladders in different materials: AISI 316 stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance, aluminum for lightness, and rope with plastic or wood steps for minimum bulk when not in use. Folding models are ideal for those with space constraints. Consider our selection of portable ladders for easy storage.

If you have a dog, consider the specific ladders for animals, with wider steps and a robust structure to support their weight. Many boaters also use these ladders to facilitate access to the water for children. Detachable ladders offer the flexibility you need.

The Officina Basile Advice

• Check the compatibility of the ladder with your boat before purchasing. Measure the height of the hull and make sure the ladder is long enough.


• Check the maximum load capacity of the ladder, especially if it will be used by people of robust build.


• If you have a swim platform, consider installing a fixed ladder, which is more convenient and safe.


• For removable ladders, periodically check the condition of the fixing hooks and replace them if necessary.


• Regularly clean the ladder with fresh water to remove salt and prevent corrosion.

Complete your equipment with our fenders and mooring lines for safe and comfortable navigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a stainless steel ladder and an aluminum ladder?

AISI 316 stainless steel ladders offer greater corrosion resistance, ideal for frequent use in salt water. Aluminum ladders are lighter and more manageable, suitable for occasional use or for smaller boats.

How do I choose the right ladder for my dog?

Choose a ladder with wide steps and a non-slip surface to ensure your dog's safety. Check the maximum load capacity and make sure the ladder is stable and easy for your pet to use. Specific dog ladders often have a gentler ramp to facilitate climbing.

How is a removable ladder attached to the boat?

Removable ladders are attached to the boat using hooks or carabiners that attach to the edge of the hull or the swim platform. Make sure the hooks are secure and the ladder is stable before using it.

Can I use a removable ladder as an emergency ladder?

Yes, removable ladders can be used as emergency ladders, but it is important to ensure that they are easily accessible and that everyone on board knows how to use them. For specific use as an emergency ladder, also consider rope models, which are compact and always ready for use.
