Stowaway Steps

Happy thanksgiving all!

This Thanksgiving, we’re incredibly grateful for YOU—our amazing customers, boating enthusiasts, and community. Whether you’re dockside or dreaming of your next adventure on the water, we’re thankful for your support in making Stowaway Steps a part of your journey.

I had a chat with Debbie hood a few weeks ago. Her passion, and I’m sure her team shares the same, for enigma powerboats is massive. It was refreshing speaking to someone so energetic about their product, and the possibilities they could offer. I’m really looking forward to hopefully seeing one on the water here in south Florida someday soon.

We all do our best to prevent disasters when boating and we have alarms and these days, that alarms sends a text. It wasn't always that way. Our boat was a rather complicated one. A lot of systems, packed in to a 72 foot vessel with long range capability. So many systems. A few years ago, before QR codes were well known, and before we had SMS notifications for alarms, I found the concept intriguing and printed and taped one to the window on the dock-side, a quick scan and passersby could find our blog and contact us. At one point, an alarm sounded on board while we were running an errand. Someone walking past, heard it, scanned the QR and let us know. We rushed back and were able to prevent fuel from leaking overboard! At Stowaway, we thought: others can benefit from this idea. Now you can engrave a QR code in your step. As the owner, you set what that QR code can do. Link to your blog. Display emergency contact info. Show a listing for the boat. Display the charter booking page. A simple link list. Have another idea? Let us know! #docksteps #liveaboard #customization #QRCodes #engraving #boats #boating #yachts #yachtconstruction

We had a vessel reach out that have a wide passarelle and wanted a step, a rather high step, made to match. They requested a 4 step high, but approximately 36" wide step. So we re-worked some renderings and tooling and made it happen. #yachties #yachtys #yachtcaptain #yachtcaptains #yachts #yacht #yachtlife #liveaboard #boating

Much more fun making a delivery in person!

Our conversations shape the evolution of our products. I’m honored to be a resource for captains, project managers, and yacht owners who reach out; not always to place an order but because they trust me to talk through ideas and challenges they’re facing on board. I regularly find myself recommending materials, offering carpentry tips, or giving feedback on refits and new builds. I always enjoy these conversations because they keep me grounded in the industry and connected to the community. They also inspire me to keep refining our products to solve real-world issues. Even if we don’t work together right away, I'm here to help however I can. Because for us, building lasting relationships matters just as much as building quality products. #Innovation #MarineIndustry #Yachting #StowawaySteps

Stowaway Steps are not your typical marine dock step. Stowaway Steps disassemble in under 30 seconds and can be stored as a flat stack of pieces—perfect for storing in your tender! With no hardware involved and made from HDPE, Stowaway Steps are rust-proof, rot-proof and durable. We’ve turned every dock step problem we’ve encountered into a solution we’re proud to call Stowaway Steps. Thanks, Alex, for the fantastic review! #StowawaySteps #MaineIndustry #Yachting #Inovation
