SOS Marine Recovery Ladder

The SOS Recovery Ladder provides an effective recovery solution for all watersports users and ensures there is a reliable plan for getting back on board safely. Whether someone intentionally enters the water or accidentally falls overboard, many boats lack a proper recovery system. The SOS Recovery Ladder is specifically designed to recover a person overboard safely, even in rough conditions and open water situations.

In many cases, a standard swim ladder is the only available boarding option. In rough seas this can become dangerous, especially when the casualty needs to remain secured to a safety line. The high freeboard of modern yachts also makes lifting a casualty back on board far more difficult.

The Recovery Ladder can be quickly installed by one person on the leeward side of the vessel using four mounting points attached to the toe rail. Once mounted, the ladder can be deployed within seconds.

The Recovery Ladder is multifunctional:

Casualties who are able to climb independently can use the ladder to reboard safely
If the casualty is injured or hypothermic, the ladder can also be used as a rescue net for horizontal recovery
Horizontal recovery helps reduce the risk of cardiac failure in hypothermic casualties
Reinforced lifting loops allow easy attachment of a hoist or tackle system

The ladder is supplied in a highly visible neon yellow mesh storage bag. Packed dimensions are only 50 × 30 cm with a total weight of just 3.3 kg. The four-point toe rail attachment system provides excellent stability. When deployed, the ladder measures 2.25 meters in length and features 6 reinforced steps. The 37 cm wide steps make climbing back on board significantly easier.

All materials are certified and inspected according to ISO 9001 standards.
