For many, the call of the water is irresistible. From salty sea airs to intercoastal breezes or even the gentle lap of lake waves, boating across South Florida and Palm Beach County is a way of life year-round for locals and snowbirds. Yet, everyone's experience on the water, or even getting on the boat, can be drastically changed by the boat accessories that help with safety and comfort on your boat.
Birdsall Marine has been Florida’s leader in innovative marine solutions since 1979. We pride ourselves on creating high-quality American-made boat parts and accessories here in sunny West Plam Beach. If you are concerned with your boat's safety or perhaps want the right boat upgrades that would help people with disabilities, injuries, or older family members have easier access to your vessel with greater comfort on the water, you have come to the right place.
1) The Step Box
2) The Comeaboard Handle
3) Grab Handles
When the boat rocks, safety shouldn’t roll. Birdsall Marine’s boat grab handles are essential, designed for those unpredictable moments when the sea decides to show its might. These robust, easy-to-install handles not only ensure stability and safety on deck but also incorporate seamlessly with your boat's design. Whether you're navigating through stormy weather or entertaining guests, these grab handles provide the support needed to move confidently aboard.
Accessibility and functionality go hand-in-hand with the marine step box. This versatile addition serves as a boost for boarding or disembarking, a simple yet pivotal aspect of boating often overlooked. Beyond its primary function, the step box doubles as a storage compartment for gear or emergency equipment, ensuring that important items are within reach. Its non-obtrusive design ensures that while its benefits are multifaceted, it remains compact and efficient in space usage.
Our #1 recommended step box is our Deluxe Contoured Fiberglass Step Box (featured above). Our beautiful high-gloss Gelcoat finished cabinet boasts a stylish, contemporary contoured design that enhances aesthetics and offers ample interior storage. The raised feet base is meticulously crafted to promote water flow underneath, ensuring durability and resilience, allowing this piece to stand the test of time.
The 'Come Aboard' boat boarding handle by Birdsall Marine is a testament to thoughtful and practical boating accessories. It allows you to combine safety without comprising aesthetics as it is removal. This is known as the ‘southern hospitality tool” when boarding your boat, providing steady and reliable support to the kind that brings peace of mind to those stepping onto your vessel.
For people who aren’t confident getting on and off boats, whether due to a disability, injury, or age, the boarding handle is the #1 affordable boat accessory that can transform their boating experience. It’s a simple way to impress your in-laws and get them onto your boat more often. Your guests and family will also enjoy boarding and exiting when it becomes a breeze with the come aboard boat handle.

EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These folks are amazing! I ordered something, decided I wanted something different, they answered the call assured me they would adjust (for my mistake) and then called me when it arrived and when the new part shipped. The customer service is second to none! The product was top quality and fit perfectly. I am a customer for life!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thanks to the team at Birdsall for providing me with all the parts necessary to re do my platform. It came out great!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Todd and Bobby from Birdsall Marine went above and beyond helping me with my 34' Venture. I brought the boat over from The Bahamas, and they even helped me pick the right weather window for a safe crossing. Bobby met me at the ramp right on time and made the whole process seamless. Todd was extremely helpful throughout — constant updates, thoughtful questions, and honest professional advice. I could go on and on, but overall it was a 10/10 experience. The quality of work is unmatched. I’ll definitely be back.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Easily the best backrest I could’ve purchased for my skiff. Easy to install, top tier quality, even came with all of the mounting hardware. Each piece of the backrest that was sent to me was individually wrapped as well. Thank you guys!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

High integrity company.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Customer support is unmatched. I made an error when checking out and Stacy was very helpful in correcting it. Looking forward to my next purchase.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I bought a Spanish Wells skiff from the Bahamas with no helm seat. Birdsall installed a custom leaning post, cup holders, chargers, and new upholstery. They were awesome to work with.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been gradually restoring a 1985 Mako 236 center console. When I purchased the boat it still had the original deck mounted helm chairs that I was anxious to replace. I opted to replace the chairs with a leaning post. Since I live in Virginia, locally I didn't have many options and what few options I had were outrageously expensive with an extremely long wait time. My cousin from the Tampa FL area suggested that I look at Birdsall Marine. When I went to the Birdsall website I found exactly what I was looking for and ordering it was a breeze. They shipped it to my office, and did an excellent job of packing it. I bring that up because for a large item that's not always easy and it showed up without a scratch. The price was affordable and the build quality was exceptional. I was able to easily install it myself. I love the storage compartment in the seat as well as the rod-holders. I'd recommend Birdsall Marine to anyone looking to outfit a boat. Their products are of exceptional quality at an affordable price and they are very user-friendly to work with.
