"Until you have one it's easy to say they're a waste. Ours is used for
the dinghy and kids all the time. It's one of the best features on our
Catalina 400."

"It's a feature you won't want to give up. We use ours for transfering
to the dinghy, which was always tough on our old Tartan 37."

"The kids love the swim platform and it's safer for them as well."

"Recently a Beneteau 35s5 called Commotion rescued some divers using
the swim platform. While not always a 1st choice, it certainly offers
another option and in this case it worked very well."

"My husband and I love to sit on the swim platform of our Catalina 34
and have lunch. Best spot on the boat at anchor!"

"With the small ladder down, our dog can actually re-board the boat
from the water. He gets onto the swim platform with ease."

"Without a doubt the swim platform was the biggest surprise and is now
ranked among our favorite features on the 32s5.
