We have a 41’ President. We also have a ladder that clips onto the sides to board from low docks. There are steps sold that will make it easier to board but they are pricey.

For your home port, I'd build some custom steps out of plywood with railing on one side and paint white. While traveling you could use your existing stairs or one of the light weight molded plastic step stools available from $30 and up.

We use the same. My freeboard is pretty high. I’m able to use the fender step without a problem. My wife, not so much. It is just a bit too high a step for her.

I have these on the boat. Use when needed based on the docking situation.


They work well, stable. Easy to store when not in use.


I agree about the comment about your home slip. If you need steps where you keep the boat on a permanent basis - probably would want more than these. But for cruising to new destinations, these work well for us.
