Product description

No More Knee-to-Chin Climb

The Lippert SureStep pontoon boarding ladder makes getting back onboard feel natural, steady, and safer for kids, pets, and older passengers alike. Unlike rope-style or free-hanging ladders that wobble and swing, SureStep’s angled step design becomes more stable as weight is applied, helping provide solid footing from the water to the deck. Five wide steps with traction-enhanced treads create a deep-water reach that makes reboarding feel more like climbing stairs and less like hoisting yourself onboard. A fully enclosed chain and hinge system helps reduce pinch points, while the easy-pull strap allows the ladder to retract easily from the deck without bending or kneeling.

Built for Life on the Water

Proudly designed, welded, and assembled in Indiana, USA, SureStep pontoon boarding ladders are engineered for long-term durability in harsh marine environments. Marine-grade construction helps resist corrosion season after season, while the reinforced design supports up to a 400 lb. capacity. Built to meet ABYC standards, SureStep delivers the strength, stability, and reliability boaters expect every time they step back onboard.

Upgrade-Friendly Installation

The SureStep pontoon ladder is designed with a fixed mounting footprint that requires a dedicated 15" L x 13.5" H space on the deck for proper installation. While mounting hardware is not included, the ladder may align with existing mounting hole patterns. For DIY-minded boat owners, installation can often be completed with basic tools and careful planning, but verifying deck clearance, structural support, and fitment before installation is recommended to ensure the best performance and long-term stability.

Features

  • SLIP-RESISTANT STEPS — The Lippert pontoon ladder features 15.875" extra-wide, slip-resistant steps that provide safe and comfortable boarding for all ages, including kids, pets, and older passengers
  • SAFE & STRONG — Rated to hold up to 400 lbs. and designed to meet ABYC standards, this ladder ensures reliable strength and safety, giving you confidence every time you board your pontoon
  • CORROSION-RESISTANT MATERIALS — Built with stainless steel rails and powder-coated aluminum steps, the ladder resists rust, sun damage, and wear for long-lasting durability in harsh marine environments
  • SECURE INSTALLATION — Designed for secure stern-mount installation on factory pontoon decks, the ladder requires a 15" L by 13.5" H mounting footprint that may align with existing mounting holes
  • ONE-STEP RETRACTION — The ladder offers effortless one-step retraction for easy deployment and stowing without bending, while its self-draining design prevents water buildup and keeps the ladder lightweight and mildew-free
