Step-Down Swim & Launch Platform

Decks stepped down to the waterline so getting in and out of the water — or a kayak — stops being a scramble.

The Build

The step-down is the whole idea here. Instead of one deck sitting high above the water, the levels come down to meet it, so you can launch a kayak or a canoe without dropping it off a ledge, sit with your legs in, or get in and out for a swim without hauling yourself up a metre of aluminum.

It makes an enormous difference for kids and for anyone who would rather not use a ladder. The lowest step sits close enough to the surface that stepping into a boat is a step, not a climb.

Above it, the upper decks stay dry and high for the boat and for sitting — one custom layout doing three jobs, rather than a kit that does one.
