Let’s face it, swim platforms and staircases on the transom are ugly. Even a ladder with handrails looks better than a staircase. A forward sweeping Euro style transom has the best cool factor. But people do like to swim. And you can’t ask your grandmother to haul herself up a ladder. Also, a swim platform qualifies as an emergency boarding device, which you have to have anyway, and is handy for getting in and out of a dinghy.

A swim platform should have a railing, a low attachment point for a sea anchor, and cleats for a dinghy. It can also be used to mount a stern thruster. Consider filling the swim platform with polyurethane foam.

+A swim platform can also be used to mount a stern thruster or hang a dinghy. Consider filling the swim platform with polyurethane foam.
 Alternatively, you could have a hinged swim platform that folds up at dockside. The advantage is that it reduces the footage you have to pay in mooring fees.
