Garelick EEz-In: Six Decades of Marine Innovation

Garelick Manufacturing Co. has been a cornerstone of the recreational marine industry since its founding in 1951. Built on a philosophy of integrity, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement, the brand earned its now-iconic trade name from a simple but powerful idea: boarding your boat from the water should be easy — "Don't squeeze in, EEz-In." That original spirit, sparked by a lightweight double-hook boarding ladder, has driven Garelick's evolution into one of the most trusted names in marine hardware worldwide.

With over six decades of metal fabrication and marine manufacturing expertise, Garelick has grown into a full-service supplier of premium boating accessories. Leading boat builders across the industry specify Garelick components as original equipment aboard their vessels — a testament to the brand's consistent quality and engineering precision. The company has earned multiple NMMA Innovation Awards and is now part of the Navico Group, further strengthening its global reach.

Award-Winning Boarding Solutions

At the heart of Garelick's lineup are its celebrated boarding ladders — arguably the product category most synonymous with the brand. From transom-mount and telescoping styles to flip-up and dive-specific designs, Garelick ladders are constructed from marine-grade stainless steel and anodized aluminum to resist corrosion in the harshest saltwater environments. Whether you're outfitting a bass boat, a center console, or an offshore sport fisher, there's a Garelick ladder engineered for the task.

For boaters who need more than just a ladder, Garelick also offers complete swim platforms & ladders that integrate seamlessly with a boat's transom. These systems are designed to provide secure, low-profile water access while maintaining the clean aesthetics of modern hulls.

Seating Hardware Built for the Helm

Garelick's reputation in marine seating is equally impressive. The brand's four-component seat hardware system — pedestals, bearing cups, swivels, and seat slides — has long been considered the benchmark of helm ergonomics in the boating industry. The lever-actuated seat slide and stanchion swivel system is engineered for smooth fore-and-aft adjustment and reliable locking, making it a preferred choice for both OEM boat builders and aftermarket upgrades.

Supporting those seating systems is Garelick's deep catalog of seating & table parts & accessories, which includes pedestals, swivel bases, footrests, and modular table hardware. The brand's gas-rise table pedestals and quick-lock mechanisms are particularly well-regarded for cockpit and salon applications where versatility and stability matter most.

Marine Hardware & Accessories

Rounding out the Garelick catalog is a strong selection of hardware parts & accessories — from transom gudgeons, ladder mounts, and Shur-Loc ladder catches to swivels and corrosion-resistant fastening components. These parts ensure that existing Garelick systems can be serviced, retrofitted, or upgraded without replacing entire assemblies, reflecting the brand's long-term commitment to durability and serviceability.

Whether you're a weekend cruiser, a serious angler, or a professional boat builder, Garelick's broad product portfolio delivers the quality and reliability that comes from over 70 years of focused marine engineering.
