Late September in Liguria brings a distinct quiet to the anchorages. The sea remains warm, the summer crowds have gone, and shoulder-season charters find space to breathe. When you drop anchor off Portofino or San Fruttuoso, expanding your deck space changes how guests interact with the water. The right teak-look platform size depends on what those guests want to do. We compare the 2.05 m and 4.10 m platforms to help you choose the right configuration for your yacht.
Teak-look yacht platform sizes: the core dimensions
Here are the measurements and materials of the two floating extensions. Both models share the same width and construction methods.
- The Premium Teak Platform 2.05 m measures 205 by 205 cm. It forms a compact square.
- The Premium Teak Platform 4.10 m measures 410 by 205 cm. It offers exactly double the length of the smaller model.
- Both platforms are constructed from 0.9 mm PVC with drop-stitch fabric. This drop-stitch method uses a dense array of internal threads to keep the top and bottom parallel when inflated.
- The top is a teak-look surface. It provides a non-slip grip and the warm appearance of a teak deck, but it is a teak look only, not real wood. It needs no oiling or sanding.
- Both are designed for use in calm, sheltered water. You must always switch off engines and thrusters while anyone is in the water near the stern.
The 2.05 m platform for quiet moments
When the yacht is moored in a tight Mediterranean bay, stern space can be limited. The 2.05 m model is the compact choice for smaller yachts. It provides just enough room for a private reading nook or a low spot to dry off after a swim. A guest might take a morning coffee down to water level, enjoying the quiet of the anchorage before the rest of the boat wakes up.
Because it is a square of 205 by 205 cm, it fits easily alongside a narrow swim platform without extending too far into the clear water behind the yacht. This matters when other boats are anchored nearby. The rigid surface feels stable underfoot, allowing guests to step down from the transom with confidence.
At the end of a charter, a smaller platform is easier for the crew to wash down. You simply rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after contact with salt water. Once it is completely dry, you can deflate it, fold it and pack it away for winter storage.
The 4.10 m platform for active guests
Charter guests often want a dedicated base for water sports, keeping wet gear away from the main deck. The 4.10 m platform leaves ample room for sunbathing alongside space to moor a tender or water toys. You can secure a Seabob or a SUP board to the edge while guests rest on the other side.
With 410 by 205 cm of area, this model serves as a proper floating terrace. Several swimmers can use it at the same time. The non-slip surface helps when stepping back out of the sea, and the generous length means people are not crowding each other.
When inflating this larger model, the Air Pump 1200 W is the intended choice. You connect the pump, ensuring the valve is closed for inflation, and fill the product to the pressure stated in the product instructions. Air expands as it warms, so the crew should check the pressure again on hot, sunny days. Operating a larger platform requires more clear water behind and alongside the yacht. You must ensure the floating product can lie without touching the hull or the propellers. Both models require supervision of swimmers at all times, especially children.
Connecting platforms for changing needs
Sometimes a single yacht deck extension is not enough. You might begin the season with the 2.05 m platform and later decide you need more space for a growing guest list. Dockee platforms are modular. You can join several units together using the AirLink Tube.
To connect them, you place the units side by side. You then inflate the tube until it is rigid, slide it into the connection loops and fasten it with the integrated straps. Check that everything sits tightly so nothing shifts. This turns a 2.05 m and a 4.10 m platform into one continuous floating terrace. If your stern measurements require a specific fit, tailor-made options are available on request, adapting the size, surface or configuration to your yacht.
Both platforms carry a warranty of two years from delivery. We offer worldwide, fully insured shipping. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery for unused items in their original packaging, although tailor-made products are excluded. If you decide to add a larger platform next season, you can easily pair it with your existing setup.
