I have an Endeavour 35 sailboat out of production for some time. Its a testament to the quality of the hatches installed in 1983! This year I replaced some of the support hardware. Brian is great and guided me to what I needed to bring the hatches back into shape. Superior quality and customer support. What could be better? Thanks Atkins and Hoyle

I had been searching for a crane for my sport fishing boat for several months, when I came upon Atkins and Hoyle. From the start, Eric and Brian were extremely helpful in selecting the right product for my application. They made suggestions to me, which I did not even think about previously. Needless to say, they made the process of selecting, ordering and final receipt of their products a breeze! Furthermore, the quality of this crane far exceeded my expectations. I also must share that after receipt of the crane, I had installations issues, which they eagerly worked me through and I could not be more pleased. It's amazing when you can buy a product off the internet and the seller doesn't forget about you after the sale is made. You can't go wrong with Atkins and Hoyle. I recommend them highly and without reservation.

Atkins & Hoyle personal were very helpful in determining the model and specifications for 3 sailboat hatches that were at least 30 years old and even had parts/instructions on proper methods of resealing. I was very impressed for such old equipment. Thanks Again.

Outstanding product, used them from Lake Ontario to the Bahamas and back. Well built, great folks to talk to about your needs

• Product Videos & Demonstrations
• Maintenance Tips

Atkins & Hoyle is a premier marine hatch and port manufacturer. With over 100 years of experience, we have the skills, tools and necessary expertise to bring your hatches and ports back to like-new condition. Let our experts refurbish your hatches and portlights.

If you have specific questions related to our services and product, here are all relevant answer to many common questions:

Why are Atkins & Hoyle designs different?

When we designed our products, we chose the best possible processes and materials to give you the strongest, lightest, and most easily mounted system.A system which would mount in a range different configurations. Our castings are our secret to sucess, and what sets us apart from ALL others. This design allows us to add strength where required and take out weight where it is not needed. As a fourth generation family business, the techniques we use were handed down generation after generation. Newer companies, and in fact all other system in the world use a bent / welded design; All Stainless will suffer a reduction in corrosion resistance because of welding. These davits cannot come close to the features Atkins & Hoyle has come to know as standard - customizable, durable, stronger, lighter, and more corrosion resistant.  Our castings are 215-R1 Anodized, a process which hardens the surface and coats them with an Electrical Insulator; preventing Electrolysis due to disimilar metals

What does “safe working load” mean?

Our davits our rated to a safe working load that is well below their tested maximum capacity. This means that we test our davits beyond what we ultimately rate them at because we know that there is a lot of extra load when your boat is on the water. Make sure that any davit system that you are considering quotes only a safe working load and is not simply the useless “maximum capacity” that many other davit manufacturers use. Other manufacturers’ tubing is not stronger than ours, not only because the unique way that we produce our products, but in the fact that the wall is reduced during their bending process. Simply put, all other davit manufacturers overrate their products

If I have an angled transom or large swim platform, how do I get the extra reach that I need?

Atkins & Hoyle davits are fully adjustable, allowing you get the most reach that is possible with a davit system. This is accomplished with our innovative spline casting that locks our modular units after a one time adjustment, thus allowing you to tailor suit the height and reach for your particular boat. Our 1900 model can also have added length to the tubes if you require even more reach, up to 12 inches. Our systems also have the ability to hold the davit away from the rail or transom to give the maximum reach that you need.

Why does Atkins & Hoyle use an aluminum-magnesium alloy?

The conditions and forces that we expect our products to go trough demand that we use a super strong, super light alloy that will not corrode in salt water. The best alloy for these specifications is Almag 35, an aluminum-magnesium alloy. This non-ferrous, anti-corrosion metal alloy is perfectly suited to the marine industry because it is lighter stronger than ordinary aluminum. Almag 35 is the lightest, strongest and most corrosion resistant alloy for marine use available today. It provides a 40% elongation, meaning that instead of breaking, the davits are flexible, absorbing shock loads, it has a tensile strength 44000 lb. per square inch and is 20 % lighter than aluminum

What is the best lifting ratio for a davit?

We believe in providing the highest lifting ratio for our davits. All of davits have a MINIMUM 6:1 block and pulley system, most come standard with a 7:1 purchase. Our 750 lb. Model 5000 has a 12:1 system plus a 6.8:1 winch. All of these purchase systems are designed to give a maximum 30 lb. pull on the rope. This provides 100% safety advantage while other manufactures provide optional block systems that exceed the tolerance of their davit systems. This ensures that you have to expend the least amount energy as possible to secure your tender.

There is no rail on my transom; can I still mount rotating davits?

Yes, all of our davit systems can be mounted in a variety of ways. The universal base mount can be fitted to any angle so it can lie flat against your deck or transom in place of a rail mount.

DAVIT SYSTEMS

At Maurer Marine we provide professional products and quality of service for a complete system.

We are proud to offer our customers top quality products from Steelhead Marine Yacht Cranes, Roskelly/Olsson Davits, St. Croix Systems and Weaver Snap Davits. These products offer reliability, innovation and functionality. From 600lb to 6000lb, we have the solution for you.

Yachting cranes allow for smooth and effortless rotation for storing, launching and retrieving of your watercraft. Some linear systems have a near-silent operation and can extend manually or hydraulically. A proper davit system provides a seamless operation for peace of mind and additional storage space onboard.

Yachting crane davits are not always the ideal solution. If you require a different option or have a smaller platform, you may find the Weaver Snap Davits or Roskelly/Olsson tilt davits a perfect match. The low-profile storage positions on transom davits provide exceptional stern visibility and limit performance-robbing air cupping problems.

We also provide stainless steel chocks and cradles to ensure your tender stays safe and secure.

Our team has over 45 years of experience to handle your requests and help you find the right solution. Contact us today for more information.

SeaWise Davit Systems

Innovative and Secure Dinghy Davit Systems

Innovation & Revolutionary

The Sea Wise Davit System revolutionizes how we launch transom-mounted dinghies and inflatable boats for simply the best marine experience.

Compact & Stylish

Crafted from striking marine-grade stainless steel, Sea Wise Davit System compliments the most luxurious yacht without compromising the swim platform area.

Safe & Easy-to-Use

The Sea Wise Davit System takes care of all the heavy lifting – up to 650 pounds can be launched and loaded with the flick of a switch.

Reliable & Secure

Designed to withstand severe conditions and constructed to last a lifetime, the Sea Wise Davit System is an investment that protects your stern-mounted boat from theft as well as rough seas.

Make the most of your nautical adventures by investing in a practical, no-compromise dinghy lift system.

Seawise, simply the best ..

Inspired by the Spirit of Adventure

At SeaWise Marine, we’re passionate boaters who understand the importance of being self-sufficient, safe, and confident when embarking on a nautical adventure. We’re fortunate enough to have some of the most spectacular boating on our doorstep, and we also know that marine travel can be quite an undertaking, so as a boat owner, you want one less thing to worry about when heading out on the water. This is why we engineered our Sea Wise Davit System – our electric davit system allows you to raise and lower your inflatable boat or dinghy by a flick of a switch, while the manual davit system employs a 25:1 worm drive. Sea Wise Electrical Davit is the safest and easiest way for yacht owners to raise and lower their dinghies.

The Inspiration

We were inspired after hearing other boaters complain about their struggles with their dinghy’s outboard motor, and the problems that occur from manually lifting the dinghy – back strains and slips and falls while trying to get the dinghy launched. Other boaters told us that they were reluctant to use their dinghy at all as they weren’t comfortable lifting the outboard – using the dinghy became a pain. So we decided to develop a system that would solve these problems for the boater. We launched our first system in 1987 – and it still performs flawlessly.

Easy-To-Use Boat Lift

Adventure follows function.

At SeaWise Marine, we design our davit systems with safety in mind, providing our customers with an innovative boat lift that makes it safe and easy to launch dinghies and inflatable boats – by a flick of a switch. Our davit system keeps the outboard motor vertical and ready to use while it lifts and tilts the dinghy or inflatable boat for secure and compact storage without eating up valuable swim-deck real estate – maximizing your yacht’s potential.

Not only will our davit systems provide a reliable and secure way to transform your boating experience, but we craft them from the finest marine-grade stainless steel, constructed to last a lifetime. Each davit system is customized to fit each vessel perfectly; compact and stylish, complementing the most luxurious yacht.

The results are stunning, and our customers tell us how much their SeaWise Davit Systems expand their boating adventures and give them peace of mind while on the water. Now their dinghy becomes part of their boating adventures, rather than just something hanging off the back of their yacht. Sea Wise Marine is proud to empower boat owners to get the most out of their boating adventures. The SeaWise Davit System is the best inflatable boat and dinghy davit system in the industry.

Vestdavit Products

Frc / mob boat davits.

Understanding the special needs of warships and patrol vessels is at the heart of every FRC and MOB boat davit from Vestdavit.

The challenges you face in the patrol and interception environment requires every davit system to be optimized for safety and efficiency, as well as carefully tailored to your particular needs. This is why navies and coastguards around the world have Vestdavit as their first choice FRC and MOB davit provider.

Vestdavit hydraulic davits are reliable and efficient when you need to deploy raiding, rescue and interception craft in conditions where everyone else have run for shelter. A davit from Vestdavit allows you to launch and recover FRC and MOB boats swiftly, silently and safely. Equally suitable for the largest US aircraft carriers and the fastest and most nimble offshore patrol vessels.

Patrol vessels pose special challenges for all marine equipment. The FRC/MOB davits are designed to be light, compact and resilient. They have a high degree of redundancy, and will keep working, even when parts of the system are out of action. That is why you need to specify Vestdavit davit systems for your high performance vessels.

Unmanned Systems

Modern warships and coastguard cutters need to be flexible. They have to be able to handle multiple types of boats, weapons and containers through one mission bay and on both sides of the vessel. Vestdavit works with integrators and hangar specialists to provide total multi-role capability.

Enhancing capability

Raiding boats, RIBs, AUV sonar systems, USVs, rescue craft – a modern warship or coastguard cutter has to deploy and recover all of these to cover multiple roles. But handling boats is no longer enough. A truly multi-role mission bay deploys the same lifting and carriage systems to load, discharge and move internally a wide range of weapons, ammunition and containers. Vestdavit can configure systems, MissionEase which can lift a wide range of boats and equipment and which are dimensioned to handle standard 20ft teu containers.

Integration

A truly multi-role mission bay will enable warships to swap roles quickly and to store and deploy a range of assets on either side of the vessel safely and quickly. Vestdavit’s experience working with door specialists, hangar equipment specialists and system integrators for navies, coastguards and seismic operators to deliver seamless boat and equipment launch and recovery, handling, internal transportation and storage is crucial to effective design and operation of a modern multi-role warship.

Work Boat Davits

They understand that reliable operation, efficient use of space and ease of installation are imperatives, whatever the size of vessel using our marine davits. This has made them the first choice boat handling system provider for maritime and offshore support vessel operators around the world.

Vestdavit davits have proven their reliability for rescue, operational support and maintenance activities, when everyone else has run for shelter. A Vestdavit davit allows you to launch and recover boats swiftly, silently and safely.

Work boats pose a special challenge for all marine equipment. Vestdavit develop davits to be efficient, compact, resilient and have a high degree of redundancy so they will keep working even when parts of the system are out of action. That is why operators have been specifying Vestdavit systems for over 30 years the work boats that keep the maritime and offshore industries running.

Boat Davits: A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right Type for Your Vessel

Boat davits are an essential accessory for any boat owner who wants to easily lift and store their dinghy or tender. These devices are designed to lift the dinghy out of the water and onto the boat, making it easy to store and transport.

Davits come in a variety of styles and sizes, so it’s important to choose the right one for your boat and dinghy. There are many factors to consider when choosing the right boat davit, including the size and weight of your dinghy, the size and weight of your boat , and the type of davit system you want.

Some common types of davit systems include manual davits, electric davits, and hydraulic davits. Each type of system has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to do your research before making a decision.

When choosing a boat davit, it’s also important to consider the quality of the system. A high-quality davit will be made from durable materials and will be designed to withstand the harsh marine environment. It’s also important to choose a system that is easy to install and maintain, so you can spend more time enjoying your boat and less time worrying about your davit system.

What are Boat Davits?

Boat davits are lifting and launching systems used to lift and store boats out of the water. They are commonly used for dinghies, jet skis , and other small boats that weigh up to 11,000 pounds. Boat davits are designed to make it easier for boat owners to move their boats in and out of the water, especially in areas where there are restrictions on the use of pilings or seawalls.

Boat davits come in different types, including manual and electric davits. Manual davits require physical effort to operate, while electric davits are powered by electricity and offer more convenience. Electric davits are often preferred by boat owners who want to save time and effort when lifting and lowering their boats.

Boat davits are also available in different sizes and configurations to suit different boats and water conditions. Some boat davits are designed for use in shallow water, while others can be used in deep water. Boat davits can be mounted on the dock, seawall, or on the boat itself, depending on the type and model of the davit.

Boat davits are an essential accessory for boat owners who want to protect their boats from damage caused by changing tides and waves. They are also a cost-effective alternative to standard boat lifts, which can be expensive and difficult to install. With a boat davit, boat owners can easily lift and store their boats out of the water, ensuring that their boats remain safe and secure.

Types of Boat Davits

Boat davits come in different types, each with its unique features and benefits. Depending on your needs, you can choose from fixed, pivoting, rotating, or removable davits.

Fixed Davits

Fixed davits are permanently attached to your boat and are ideal for lifting heavy loads. They offer a stable platform for lifting and lowering your boat or watercraft. Fixed davits come in different sizes and can be customized to suit your specific needs.

Pivoting Davits

Pivoting davits are designed to swing in a horizontal arc, making it easier to lift boats and watercraft in and out of the water. They are ideal for boats with limited deck space, as they can be mounted on the side of the boat. Pivoting davits are available in different sizes and can be customized to fit your boat’s specific needs.

Rotating Davits

Rotating davits can rotate 360 degrees, making it easy to load and unload boats and watercraft from any direction. They are ideal for larger boats with ample deck space. Rotating davits come in different sizes and can be customized to fit your specific needs.

Removable Davits

Removable davits are designed to be easily removed and stored when not in use. They are ideal for boats with limited deck space, as they do not take up permanent space. Removable davits come in different sizes and can be customized to fit your specific needs.

Overall, the type of boat davit you choose will depend on your specific needs and the size of your boat. Fixed davits are ideal for heavy loads, while pivoting and rotating davits are better suited for boats with limited deck space. Removable davits are perfect for boats with limited space and can be easily stored when not in use.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Boat Davits

Boat size and weight.

When choosing a boat davit system, it is important to consider the size and weight of the boat. The weight capacity of the davit system should be able to handle the weight of the boat and any additional equipment that will be stored on it. It is also important to consider the size of the boat, as larger boats may require larger davit systems.

Ease of Use

Another important factor to consider when choosing boat davits is ease of use. The davit system should be easy to operate and should not require a lot of physical effort to raise and lower the boat. Electric winches can make the process easier and more convenient, but they may also be more expensive.

Material and Durability

The material and durability of the davit system is also an important consideration. Stainless steel and aluminum are popular choices for boat davits because they are durable and resistant to corrosion. It is important to choose a davit system that is designed to withstand the harsh marine environment and can withstand the weight of the boat and any equipment stored on it.

Finally, cost is an important consideration when choosing boat davits. The cost of the davit system will depend on the size, weight capacity , and material used. Electric winches and other features may also increase the cost. It is important to choose a davit system that fits within your budget while also meeting your needs for boat storage and ease of use.

When choosing boat davits, it is important to consider the boat size and weight, ease of use, material and durability, and cost. By carefully considering these factors, boat owners can choose a davit system that meets their needs and provides a convenient and secure way to store their boat.

When choosing a boat davit, it’s important to consider factors such as the weight and size of the watercraft, the installation requirements, and the budget. By doing research and choosing a reputable manufacturer, boat owners can ensure they have a safe and reliable davit system for their watercraft.

Installation of Boat Davits

Professional installation.

If you are not comfortable installing your boat davits yourself, it is recommended that you hire a professional to do the job for you. A professional installer will have the necessary tools and experience to ensure that your davits are installed safely and securely. They will also be able to advise you on the best placement of the davits on your boat.

When hiring a professional installer, make sure that they have experience installing the type of davits that you have purchased. Ask for references and check them before hiring the installer. Also, make sure that the installer is licensed and insured.

DIY Installation

If you are comfortable with basic tools and have some experience with boat maintenance, you may be able to install your boat davits yourself. However, it is important to read the installation instructions carefully and follow them closely to ensure that the davits are installed safely and securely.

Before beginning the installation process, make sure that you have all of the necessary tools and equipment. You will need a drill, screws, bolts, and a wrench, among other tools. It is also important to have a helper to assist you during the installation process.

When installing your boat davits, it is important to take your time and follow the instructions carefully. Make sure that the davits are installed in the correct location and that they are securely attached to the boat. It is also important to connect the davits to the boat’s bonding system to prevent corrosion.

After the davits are installed, it is important to test them to make sure that they are working properly. Lift your inflatable boat onto the davits and make sure that it is secure. If you are unsure about the installation or have any questions, it is always better to hire a professional to ensure that your davits are installed safely and securely.

Maintenance of Boat Davits

Proper maintenance of boat davits is crucial to ensure their reliability and longevity. Neglecting maintenance can lead to malfunctions and even accidents. Below are some tips for maintaining boat davits:

• Perform regular inspections of the davit to check for any signs of wear and tear. Look for cracks, corrosion, loose bolts, and any other damage. Address any issues immediately.
• Keep the davit clean and free of debris. Saltwater, sand, and other materials can cause corrosion and damage to the davit. Rinse it down with freshwater after each use and periodically clean it with soap and water.
• Check the cables and winches regularly to ensure they are in good condition. Replace any worn or damaged cables and lubricate the winches as needed.
• Inspect the electrical components, if applicable, such as switches and wiring, to ensure they are functioning properly. Replace any damaged or malfunctioning components.
• Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintenance and operation of the davit. This includes weight limits, proper use of the davit, and recommended maintenance schedules.

By following these maintenance tips, boat owners can ensure their davits are in good working condition and ready to use when needed.

Boat davits are an essential part of any boating experience, providing a safe and efficient way to lift and lower boats, jet skis, and other watercraft. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making it easy to find the perfect solution for any boat or dock.

When choosing a boat davit, it’s important to consider factors such as weight capacity, ease of installation, and durability. Many manufacturers offer customized solutions, ensuring that boaters can find a davit that meets their specific needs.

Proper maintenance and testing of davits is crucial to ensure their safe and effective operation. Crew injury and death accidents related to lifeboat davit maintenance and operation have occurred since the introduction of on-load release hooks, making it imperative that SMS procedures are updated and followed as a matter of priority.

Overall, boat davits are a valuable investment for any boater looking to safely and efficiently lift and lower their watercraft. By choosing a high-quality davit and following proper maintenance and testing procedures, boaters can enjoy their time on the water with peace of mind.

We offer a comprehensive range of davit systems for commercial / merchant marine applications. The davits are designed to minimize the installation impact and are supplied as complete factory tested units. We offer both a standard range of davit systems and opportunities to have a standard davit modified or custom designed for specific applications.

Our History

A tradition of excellence.

Welin Lambie was established in 1901 and the tradition of innovation and quality continues. Early on, the “Welin Quadrant” davit became the industry standard with more than 4,000 units sold. Welin Lambie davits are synonymous with ships that have made maritime history such as the QEII, Royal Yacht Britannia, and Titanic. The introduction of the inclined trackway davit paved the way for the use of larger lifeboats that we see today and also gave the designers the space to allow clear promenade decks on cruise ships and liners. The attention to detail and first class engineering have been in place for more than 100 years, and will continue as we lead the world in davit technology.
