Presto Marine Articles features editorial insights on marine lifts and hydraulic access systems, including jet ski lifts, dinghy lifts and custom-built solutions. Rooted in Scandinavian engineering and Swedish quality, our experience spans projects across Europe, the United States and Canada.
A retractable swim platform can do far more than improve convenience at the stern. It can make water access safer, easier and more inclusive for boat owners, swimmers, divers and rescue teams. This article explains how a custom idea developed into a versatile swim...
By PrestoMarine Product Development Team Marine lift systems are not static products. Hydraulic platforms, dinghy davits and jet ski lifts continuously evolve based on real-world usage. Feedback from boat owners, installers and shipyards plays a key role in improving...
Watercraft handling trends onboard are rapidly evolving, from advanced superyacht transformer platforms to more accessible solutions on 30–45 foot boats.. Tender launch has become a design statement. What began as simple davits has evolved into transformer swim...
Choosing the right marine lift materials depends on corrosion resistance, weight, durability, and long-term maintenance requirements. In practice, environmental impact is shaped by material choice, service life, and whether a system can be repaired instead of...
Choosing between a jet ski lift vs dinghy davit depends on weight, handling, mounting space, and how often you launch onboard. Jet skis (PWCs) and dinghies impose very different loads, and davit designs vary widely across manufacturers—from simple snap systems to...
Hydraulic swim platforms have become a central element in modern yacht design, redefining how boats interact with the water. Originally developed as simple lifting mechanisms, these systems have evolved into multifunctional platforms used for boarding, launching...
