Which System is Right for You?
How do you lift a 400lb boat with one hand? Physics.
Why do discerning yacht owners in Toronto choose SeaWise? Because our system transforms a stressful chore into a simple, one-person job.
1. Fast: From Platform to Water in Minutes
When you arrive at your anchorage—whether it’s a quiet bay in the Thousand Islands or the beach at Hanlan’s Point—you shouldn’t waste 20 minutes setting up the tender.
- Ready to Launch: Because the motor stays attached, you don’t need to mount an outboard while leaning over the water.
- Instant Action: Simply lower the system. The SeaWise boat davit crane mechanics handle the geometry, safely pivoting your dinghy davit system from its vertical storage position directly into the water, ready to start.
2. Efficient: Reclaim Your Swim Platform
On Lake Ontario, the swim platform is your patio. It’s where you swim, board guests, and relax. Traditional davit systems for boats—like chocks or cranes—often block this valuable space.
- Smart Design: Our system stores the dinghy on its side (vertical) on the transom.
- Zero Obstruction: This leaves your swim grid almost completely clear. Walk, swim, or barbecue without tripping over boat davit parts or a sprawling inflatable.
3. Effortless: No Heavy Lifting Required

Which System is Right for You?
The Manual Davit System
Simple. Lightweight. Reliable.
Designed for mid-sized vessels and tenders, our Manual System is a masterpiece of mechanical engineering. It utilizes a custom-designed 25:1 worm gear reduction, which multiplies your strength. This means a single person can crank a 450lb boat out of the water with surprisingly little effort.
- Capacity: Up to 450 lbs (204 kg)
- Operation: Hand-Crank (not removable)
- Best For: Inflatables, lighter RIBs, and boaters who want a maintenance-free, power-free solution.
The Electric Davit System
Powerful. Automated. Effortless.
The ultimate upgrade for larger yachts and heavy center-console tenders. Powered by a 12V or 24V hydraulic pump, this system handles the heavy lifting with the push of a button. It features a sleek design that can house the pump internally or remotely.
- Capacity: Up to 600 lbs (272 kg) standard and can be fortified for up to 800 lbs (363 kg)
- Operation: Push-Button (6,000 lb electric winch motor)
