Garelick 25028 28 Inch Oak Cockpit Steps, 2-Step Boat Boarding Ladder

The Garelick 25028 Oak Cockpit Steps give boaters a solid, traction-ready way to step up or down from the cockpit on all types of cruisers. The two-step ladder attaches to the inside of the coaming using stainless steel Shur-loc catches, which are included with the unit, so it mounts directly to the boat's existing cockpit structure without additional fasteners to source. Each step is varnished oak with traction grooves cut into the tread surface, giving a secure, slip-resistant footing even when the deck is wet. The uprights supporting the steps are 1 inch anodized aluminum, paired with stamped support brackets, for a frame that resists corrosion in a marine environment while keeping the unit lightweight. At 28 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 5.5 inches deep, the steps are sized to fit standard cockpit coamings without protruding excessively into walkway space. The combination of a durable aluminum frame and a warm oak step surface gives the ladder a finished look that matches the wood accents found on many cruiser interiors and cockpits, rather than a purely utilitarian aluminum or plastic appearance. Because the Shur-loc catches are a quick-release mounting system, the steps can be removed when not needed and reattached without tools. The Garelick 25028 is built for boaters who need a reliable, repeatable way to board or exit the cockpit area and want hardware that is easy to install and maintain over time.
