Balconies and Platforms

Yacht platforms and balconies are ideal elements to expand the exterior space and connect it with the interior, providing easy water access and space to enjoy the view. The platforms or balconies can be equipped with many features including lounge chairs, swim ladders and umbrellas, creating a luxury outdoor living space close to the water.

Such platforms, also known as beach clubs, compensate for the lack of easy water access and offer the client options such as swimming, sunbathing and scuba diving directly from the yacht. We provide customised folding and/or sliding systems integrated into the vessel’s hull or superstructure.

Swim and diving platform

Prefer your feet above or under water? An underwater swim and dive platform is the perfect platform for every yacht. The height of the swim platform can be adjusted easily with a push of a button. This lowers the platform to the desired height and turns a normal platform into the ideal swim and dive platform.

A folding section integrated in the platform can create swim steps straight into the ocean for easy entrance and exit. For the total swim and dive experience, extra features can be added to the platform, such as swim ladders, stanchions and showers; items that are widely requested and appreciated by swimmers.

Hinge or Sliding

When looking for a platform, Cramm offers different types of mechanisms depending on the purpose of the platform. The most common mechanisms used for platforms are the hinge or sliding. When looking for a different mechanism or a custom-made solution, please contact us to see how Cramm can provide customised systems integrated into your superyacht.

Tender dock and mooring platform

Once the tender has been lowered into the water, a mooring platform is perfect for easy boarding of the tender. The platform can be equipped with fenders to prevent damage to the yacht and tender during a fast approach. A tender mooring platform can be combined with the tender garage to directly dock the tender on the yacht when it has been hoisted out of the water.

As well as using mooring platforms for tenders, they can also be used for docking the superyacht at the quay. Mooring platforms provide the crew with an outstanding overview of the situation, preventing damage and hazards during the process.

Design

With our platforms and balconies beautifully concealed in the yacht’s structure, our yacht equipment is almost invisible when walking around the vessel. To increase the lifespan and give our products a perfect high-gloss finish, the platforms are faired and painted using the same quality paint as the yacht.

All Cramm yacht equipment satisfies all design standards, providing a perfect match for every super or mega yacht and can be provided with any required certification. Looking for a specifc design or features for your yacht equipment, contact us with your wishes and one of our employees will contact you soon.

Yacht Balconies

Locating a platform higher on the deck enables it to be transformed into an elegant luxury balcony, increasing the space on board the yacht. Cramm yacht balconies are designed to take maximum advantage of the space, technology and materials while ensuring maximum safety and security. When folded down, balconies offer a 180-degree view forward, making it comfortable to sit above the water. Adding a balcony to a cabin or saloon will add even more light and gives the area a spacious feel. If the owner prefers not to have the crew interrupting and walking through their cabin, a completely automatic balcony can be created, providing maximum privacy in the master cabin.

Quality

Whether it is lightweight aluminium, super yacht quality paint or electric or hydraulic driven equipment, our experienced team and exclusive suppliers are what make our products unique, durable and focused on the future. Cramm products are known for their high quality and long lifespan, which is why Cramm is the preferred supplier for many shipyards. Our experienced team delivers outstanding craftmanship and we use only the best materials, enabling Cramm to deliver a solid warranty after the transfer of the vessel to the owner.

Working with Cramm over the last 3 years has been a pleasure. Cramm equipment is built to a very high standard, and unlike some bespoke equipment found on yachts, has proven to be very reliable. The installation of Cramm equipment has been carried out by experienced technicians with maintenance in mind for access to serviceable components.

Cramms service engineers are extremely knowledgeable of their systems, routine service visits incorporate thorougher inspections of equipment, often detecting potential problems before they occur. Cramms service engineers are always very careful with keeping clean and not making a mess. Working areas are always very well protected before work commences, and left as found. I would definitely recommend Cramm for hydraulic equipment as one of the leading company’s in the industry.

For me it is a big advantage that our companies are relatively close to each other. This makes the verbal communication much more efficient. Short lines often work better. So also the follow up of appointments and agreements work well is my experience. What I also notice about Cramm is that in principle everything is negotiable in a good way, as well the somehow bigger challenges. Cramm is a beautiful Dutch company to work together with.

I would like to take the time to thank you for the recent visit from a Cramm engineer. It was great to get him back onboard after 16 years to see how the system is now functioning. We found him to be extremely helpful and carried out the assessment with great care and was very thorough.

With the system still functioning well after 16 years of hard service we are certainly going to stick with you, for our up and coming major refit next year, you certainly have our trust! With your revolutionary designs, great service, great build quality and dedicated professional engineers, I would be happy to recommend your services to anyone looking for a first class service.
