With over 15 years of experience in the maritime sector, Compass Marine, based in Calenzano (FI), stands out in the design and manufacture of state-of-the-art nautical gangways and yacht accessories.

The company combines innovation, design, and advanced materials to offer high-performance and customizable products. Among its flagship solutions, in addition to nautical gangways, are the “Lift” lifting systems and decking coverings produced under the registered trademark Easy Teak.

Custom-designed nautical gangways for maximum performance

Product functionality Nautical gangways and accessories made by Compass Marine are custom-designed to meet the specific needs of each boat. The company focuses on innovative materials and technologically advanced treatments, ensuring strength, light weight and durability.

New additions for 2025 include the Swim 350, a retractable telescopic gangway ideal for larger yachts, and the multifunctional Wave ladder, available in three sizes with 4, 5, or 6 steps. Upon request, the Wave’s supporting structure can be made of carbon fibre, providing additional weight savings without compromising strength.

Cutting-edge technology and materials

The use of advanced materials is one of Compass Marine’s strengths. Carbon fibre gangway solutions and aluminium alloys, treated with state-of-the-art technology, ensure lightness, corrosion resistance, and safety in the nautical environment. Additionally, the Easy Teak polymer, used for the walking surfaces, offers an eco-friendly and economically advantageous alternative to traditional teak.

Sustainability and environmental care

Sustainability is a key aspect of Compass Marine’s production philosophy. The company is committed to continuously reducing waste and optimising the final weight of products, without sacrificing performance and durability. The materials used are up to 95% recyclable, demonstrating a real commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Ease of installation and use

Another distinguishing feature of Compass Marine nautical gangways is their ease of use and installation. The Flight 100 and Flight 120 models are hydraulic telescopic gangway solutions with two sections, designed for small to medium-sized boats. These products offer an excellent value-for-money ratio, with simplified installation thanks to the complete kit provided.

The Flight telescopic gangway models are designed to support the tender, complete with engine, and facilitate access to the dock. The automatic two-stanchion handrail system operates synchronously with the telescopic gangway movement, automatically retracting into a dedicated side compartment

Made of anodized aluminium and AISI 316 stainless steel, the supporting structures of Flight nautical gangways offer corrosion resistance and reliability over time. The decking is available in non-slip teak or carbon fibre with Easy Teak coating, ensuring elegance and safety on board. Furthermore, all mechanical components, from pistons to handrail stops, are made of AISI 316 stainless steel for maximum durability and strength.

Attention to detail

The aesthetics of Compass Marine nautical gangways are distinguished by attention to detail. The wooden decks, made of 24-mm thick boards with a non-slip finish, ensure excellent grip. The width of the telescopic elements is optimized to ensure safer and more comfortable walking.

The exclusive use of Easy Teak for walking surfaces gives a distinctive touch to the nautical gangways, combining aesthetics, resistance, and sustainability. Thanks to the high degree of customization and the continuous search for innovative solutions, Compass Marine confirms its position as a reference in the nautical sector, offering products that combine technology, aesthetics, and respect for the environment.
