Our design philosophy is that the passerelle is the yacht’s grand entranceway, providing the owners and guests their first experience with the yacht and the pending yachting experience. The passerelle must be constructed in a style and quality commensurate with that of the yacht. The passerelle must be sturdy and steady while boarding; a guest should not feel the passerelle deflecting or moving under-feet while boarding. Once one boards a Nautical Structures’ passerelle the feeling should be as if one was already on the yacht’s deck. We understand that for some persons, crossing over ten to twelve feet of open water is an unnerving experience, so the passerelle should provide an enhanced level of security and well-being while boarding. Nautical Structures passerelles always include rigid hoop-railing systems that will support the weight of an individual returning from an evening of libations!
