Light and wide passarelle

The new 3500mm passarelle from Exit Engineering is a huge step forward in gangway technology, they say.

Distributed in the UK by Advance Yacht Systems, the gangway is targeted at the larger yacht market and, weighing just 13kg, there is no need for costly, heavy hydraulics to operate this boarding system. Designed for one person to handle and deploy with ease, this gangway folds in half for easy stowage.

Because of its light weight, Exit Engineering has been able to break with the tradition of gangways being narrow. At 600mm (23.6") wide, this new gangway is 50% wider than most comparable products, making for a safe, comfortable crossing from ship to shore.

Manufactured using prepreg, autoclave and female moulds, the gangway is strong (max load 350kg) and has a high gloss carbon fibre finish.

This light, high gloss carbon fibre finished passarelle is available to the public from £2,890. Its smaller sisters start at £ 1,340.
