All boats have a swim platform and are equipped with Star Houseboat’s exclusive hide-away swim ladder. The size of the platform is variable to match the customers’ request. But, there are lots of options to consider. Waverunner ramps or boat ramps allow the storage of your boats on the back of the houseboat. Additionally, hydraulic swim platforms are available that can raise and lower or pivot. If loading jet skis and boats, the pivoting swim platform works well. The platform that raises and lowers straight up and down also creates easy access for swimmers and a great place to sit in your chair with your feet in the water. Note that Star ties the swim platform in with a spray rail that extends from the platform about 10 feet up the side of the boat. It’s just another feature that gives the yacht-like appearance.
