Who we are

The SeaWise Davit System Advantage: Integration Without Obstruction

How can SeaWise davit systems support tender handling on compatible cruising boats, trawlers, and motor yachts? Because we solved the three biggest problems in tender storage.

Not sure which model is right for your vessel? Read our guide on choosing the right boat davit system.

Vertical Engine Storage

Reduce the need to repeatedly remove and reinstall your dinghy's outboard motor.Our patented rotation technology allows you to lift your inflatable boat from horizontal to vertical without removing the engine. Follow approved outboard handling and davit operating procedures.

Clear Swim Platforms

Unlike traditional chocks or cranes that block your path, our transom-mounted davit stores the dinghy on its side. Available swim-platform space depends on the vessel, tender dimensions, and approved mounting arrangement.

Single-Handed Operation

Whether you choose our Manual or Electric model, our high-efficiency design allows one person to launch and retrieve the boat safely in minutes — even if you are new to davits. Learn how to launch your dinghy in seconds

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Definitely a great davit system, made locally in Canada and built to last. Definitely recommend seawise davits to my customers who need a davit system for their boat.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I rarely leave Google reviews, but I felt I had to tell everyone what amazing service I had from Sea Wise today. I needed a new support bar for my dinghy davit system and I called Stuart and was impressed that he was willing to help me immediately. He and Scotty replaced my support bar and also upgraded the system so that it worked much better than the initial installation (which was done elsewhere many years ago). They went above and beyond servicing my dinghy, and gave me a great deal, and Stuart even made a house call to my home.  I have used other davit systems in the past, and without a doubt Sea Wise is the best. Highly recommended!!! Thanks Stuart & Scotty - I can get my dinghy back on my boat today. 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have done installs and support for SeaWise and they have always been great to work with and for.  Stuart knows his stuff and is always willing to work with us if we need to do something custom or out of the ordinary.  SeaWise is a bit more then other manufactures but the quality far exceeds the extra cost.  We recommend SeaWise to our customers, hands down.
