Versatile and comfortable onboard access with Navaltecnosud gangways

In the world of yachting, safe and comfortable access to the yacht is key—especially in port settings where the height difference between the dock and the vessel can vary significantly, depending on the tide. Meeting these needs is Navaltecnosud, an Italian company specialized in the design and production of structures for shipyards and marinas, long recognized for its advanced and customizable technical solutions. Among its flagship products are the Navaltecnosud multipurpose gangways, designed to precisely adapt to small, medium, and large boats—from small RIBs to megayachts.


Navaltecnosud gangways: modular and flexible


Navaltecnosud gangways stand out for their exceptional versatility, designed to handle even the most difficult mooring situations. Thanks to their modular structure, each component can be configured to meet the specific needs of the boat and the port environment. The system developed by the company includes integrated steps that facilitate access from the swim platforms when the vessel is positioned lower than the quay—a common scenario in tourist ports, which Navaltecnosud addresses with great effectiveness.


What makes Navaltecnosud gangways even more functional is the presence of a telescopic section that extends up to 5 meters and is fully tiltable. This section can be placed on any step of the system, making it ideal even for superyachts that are often moored at a distance from the quay. The result is a safe and comfortable walkway for both crew and guests.


Custom Design and Construction Quality


To create these innovative gangways, Navaltecnosud has chosen a combination of hot-dip galvanized steel and aluminum. This combination ensures excellent structural strength and high corrosion resistance, while maintaining a lightweight design that makes the gangway easy to handle—even in demanding operational conditions. The union of these two materials strikes the perfect balance between durability and practicality.


Each gangway is custom-designed according to the client’s specifications, taking into account the characteristics of the vessel, mooring conditions, and operational requirements. This tailor-made approach ensures perfect integration with the yacht and an optimal user experience. Moreover, Navaltecnosud gangways—like all the company’s products—are manufactured in compliance with European safety and quality regulations. Importantly, the gangways are CE-certified, guaranteeing full adherence to the highest standards in the marine industry.


With its gangways, Navaltecnosud reaffirms its commitment to innovation and custom-quality solutions, offering intelligent and reliable answers to the growing demand for more comfortable onboard access—regardless of yacht type or port context. The product has already been chosen by some of the most renowned Italian and international shipyards.
