About Garelick Marine
For more than six decades, Garelick has been one of the most recognized names in recreational marine hardware. Founded on a commitment to smart engineering and real-world durability, the brand earned its reputation by solving a simple but critical problem: getting back aboard a boat from the water safely and easily. That philosophy gave birth to the iconic EEz-In boarding ladder — and the rest, as boaters say, is history.
Garelick boarding ladders remain the cornerstone of the brand's lineup. From compact fold-up transom models ideal for bass boats to heavy-duty telescoping designs rated for up to 400 lbs, Garelick offers configurations to fit virtually every hull type and use case. Ladders are constructed from marine-grade stainless steel and anodized aluminum, with non-skid steps and thoughtfully engineered mounting hardware that holds firm in rough conditions. The range includes fixed, removable, swing-up, and telescoping styles — whether you need a permanent transom boarding ladder or a flexible solution that stows cleanly when not in use.
For boaters who want a fully integrated water-access solution, Garelick's swim platforms and ladders pair HDPE platform decking with stainless steel ladder systems that fold over the platform for tidy stowage. These combo units are available for both inboard/outboard and outboard motor configurations, and their pre-drilled designs make installation straightforward. The brand also offers dedicated swim platform ladder systems designed to mount beneath the platform — staying completely out of sight when stowed while deploying firmly when needed.
Beyond boarding access, Garelick has long been a trusted supplier of seat clamp mounts and seat hardware. Their pedestals, swivels, slides, and mounting bases are engineered to meet ABYC standards for load resistance and are built with the same marine-grade materials as their ladder products — saltwater spray tested and UV stable for lasting performance at the helm.
