swim platform

Boat's boarding step

A swim platform is a flat deck extending from the stern of a boat at or near water level, providing a place to sit, swim from, board watercraft, or access the water.

Most modern recreational boats include one as standard equipment.

We tied the kayak to the swim platform.
