210 cm Fixed Gangway – Aluminum with Teak Grating

This 210 cm fixed yacht gangway offers a combination of a sturdy aluminum structure and an authentic teak wood walking surface, delivering exceptional functionality and aesthetics. The frame of the gangway is constructed from anodized aluminum for maximum strength and rigidity, while the walking deck is laid with genuine Siam teak slats – a high-grade hardwood renowned for its durability and weather resistance. The teak grating not only lends a luxurious, classic appearance but also provides a naturally non-slip texture underfoot, even when wet, due to teak’s grain and oil content. At 34 cm wide, the gangway provides a generous step area, and the aluminum support structure beneath the teak is engineered to handle substantial loads – this model is well-suited for larger yachts where rock-solid stability is paramount.

The gangway comes fully equipped with all necessary installation and usage components: two stainless steel stanchions with a rope handrail for one side of the gangway, enhancing user confidence when crossing; a pair of robust rubber wheels fitted at the dock end – these wheels are sizeable and durable, meant to carry the weight of the gangway and a person on it while rolling on the dock, and they protect both the dock surface and the gangway from damage; a stainless steel pivot pin to connect the gangway to the boat; and a flush-mount deck bushing made of AISI 316 stainless steel for the boat side. The flush-mounted socket allows for a very clean installation – when the gangway is removed, the attachment point on deck is almost unnoticeable, presenting only a flat round cap of about 80 mm in diameter with no obtrusive hardware sticking up.

Operation: Once the flush socket is installed on your stern or swim platform (usually in a reinforced area provided by the boat manufacturer), the gangway is attached by inserting its pivot pin into the socket. When secured, the gangway can pivot up and down, which is useful as the boat moves with waves or the tide. The rubber wheels rest on the dock and accommodate slight movements, so the gangway can roll instead of scraping, preventing strain or damage. The teak decking, aside from its beauty, also adds a measure of quietness – footsteps on wood are quieter than on metal, and teak’s slight give can cushion the impact. This means when people step aboard, there’s a solid yet gentle feel, akin to stepping onto the actual teak deck of the yacht.

This gangway is built to withstand the marine environment over the long term. The aluminum frame is anodized for corrosion protection, and the teak is naturally rich in oils that guard it against rot and pests (though periodic oiling of the teak is recommended to maintain its luster and protective qualities). All hardware – including bolts, stanchions, and the deck socket – are made of 316 stainless steel, ensuring they remain rust-free even with constant saltwater exposure.

With its elegant design, the aluminum-and-teak gangway is not only a functional boarding device but also an aesthetic enhancement to your yacht. This style of gangway is commonly found on premium sailing and motor yachts, where safety in boarding must coincide with a prestigious appearance. If your yacht’s decks are laid in teak, this gangway will complement them harmoniously, greeting your guests with a sense of luxury the moment they step off the dock. In essence, the 210 cm fixed gangway with teak grating delivers top-tier quality in both comfort and safety and visual appeal, making it an outstanding choice for discerning yacht owners who demand the very best for their vessel.
