Whitecap Teak Swim Platform - 18"

The Whitecap Teak Swim Platform – 18" is a marine-grade boarding platform designed for anglers and boaters who demand reliable, durable access to the water. Whether you're stepping off the transom to land a catch, boarding from a tender, or facilitating guest access during a day on the water, this platform provides secure footing in wet conditions.

Constructed from premium teak wood, the Whitecap Teak Swim Platform resists saltwater corrosion, UV degradation, and the constant freeze-thaw cycles that compromise lesser materials. Teak's naturally high oil content and tight grain structure make it self-healing against minor dings and scratches—critical properties when boarding gear and tackle boots are routine. The 18-inch width provides ample step-through space while remaining proportional to most transom sterns, and its 1-inch thickness ensures rigidity underfoot without excessive weight.

At just 5.05 pounds, installation and repositioning remain practical, while the natural texture of teak ensures superior traction even when soaking wet. This platform suits center console fishermen, cruising sailboat owners, and anyone who values seamless water access as part of their vessel's design. Installation is straightforward—secure mounting hardware (not included) fastens through pre-drilled holes for easy setup.
