The Bow Mate is a patent-pending, aluminum bow platform that puts your pontoon at water level — so grandkids, grandparents, and everyone in between can get on, off, and comfortable without the scramble.
You bought the pontoon so everyone could be together on the water — kids, parents, grandparents, friends. But the second someone wants to swim, the day gets harder: a high step over the pontoon tube, a slick ladder, and you standing there ready to catch someone who's struggling.
We were tired of watching family and friends struggle to get on and off the boat — the high step, the slick ladder, the person who just decided not to swim because getting back in was too much work.
So we built a stable, water-level platform for the bow of the boat, tested it on our own pontoon, and now we're sharing it with every pontoon family who's had the same problem.
Mounts to the bow to bring a stable platform right to the waterline — so getting in and out is a step, not a struggle.
Marine-grade aluminum construction, engineered for the trailer, the dock, and season after season of lake life.
No custom fabrication required for most setups. Step-by-step instructions so you can mount it in an afternoon.
Mount it once, then simply pin it on and off whenever you want it.
Engineered to sit level and stable at the bow, no matter your tube spacing.
A built-in bumper that protects your pontoon tubes from dock and trailer wear.
No instructions needed dockside — step on, step off, done.
A stable step at water level instead of a climb over the tube.
Cool off at the water line without ever fully committing to a swim.
A sunny spot to relax right where the water meets the boat.
Kids, grandparents, and everyone in between get the same easy access.
Keep it mounted and simply lower it with the boat on your lift.
Flexible storage options that work with however you keep your boat.
Stays put on the trailer, ready to launch with the rest of the boat.
Extend your pontoon boat deck "AT WATER LEVEL" by 11+ sqft!
The Bow Mate attaches to the front of your pontoon so it's ready every time you launch — no reinstalling at the dock, no separate accessory to haul back and forth. It's part of the boat now.
