Looking to upgrade your boat and make it truly your own? We’ve put together this inspiration post filled with custom stainless steel ideas to help you elevate both the functionality and aesthetics of your vessel. At Firefish Fabrication, we love bringing innovative solutions to life for boat owners, and we hope these ideas spark some creative upgrades for your pride and joy.

Bait Stations and Boards

A bait station is essential for any keen angler, providing a dedicated workspace for bait preparation and cleaning your catch. We offer robust and well-designed bait boards and stations, crafted to withstand the harsh marine environment while keeping your workspace tidy and efficient. Explore high-quality designs featuring drainage systems and knife holders to improve your fishing experience.

Davits

Davits are crucial for safely and efficiently launching and retrieving smaller vessels, like dinghies, or for hoisting gear onboard. Our custom stainless steel davits are built for strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring they perform reliably for years to come.

Railings for stairs

Sturdy, polished railings not only enhance your boat’s safety but also contribute to its sleek appearance. We create customised railings to suit your boat’s unique design, ensuring durability and a refined aesthetic. Common areas where railings can be added include:

• Bow (Foredeck): Provides security for passengers moving forward and helps prevent falls overboard.
• Stern (Aft Deck): Acts as both a safety feature and a mounting point for accessories like rod holders.
• Flybridge or Upper Helm Stations: Offers protection from falls while allowing open views and easy movement.
• Ladders or Companionways: Assists passengers moving between different levels of the boat.
• More Custom Areas: We can design railings for other parts of your boat based on your specific needs and layout.

Swim Ladders

Accessing the water should be as smooth as possible. Our custom stainless steel swim ladders are designed for stability and comfort, making boarding your boat from the water effortless. Recently we crafted a platform staple with a fold-down ladder, making it easier than ever for boaties to hop back on after a dip or adventure out on the water.

Rod Holders and Rocket Launchers

Rod Holders: Secure your fishing rods while underway or at anchor with our expertly crafted stainless steel rod holders. These durable fixtures are designed for stability and corrosion resistance, offering peace of mind on your fishing adventures.

Rocket Launchers: Ideal for avid fishermen, rocket launchers bolt to the cockpit floor or integrate into bench seating, holding multiple fishing rods securely and conveniently. They make managing your rods simple, whether you’re cruising or fishing offshore.

Fittings and Fixtures for Starlink Boxes

As reliable internet becomes increasingly important for marine adventures, we custom-make fittings and fixtures for securely installing Starlink boxes on boats. Our solutions ensure that the equipment is mounted securely, with consideration for both functionality and aesthetic integration.
