Yacht Davit Crane | Marine Davit Crane Manufacturer in China
A yacht davit crane is a compact, deck-mounted lifting device designed for launching, retrieving, and handling tenders, jet skis, outboard engines, diving equipment, and cargo on yachts, sailboats, motor yachts, and commercial vessels. Also referred to as a boat davit crane or marine davit crane, it combines corrosion resistance, low profile, ease of operation, and reliable lifting in the challenging marine environment — salt spray, vessel motion, and limited deck space. The equipment can be put into the water or hoisted to the dock.
A yacht davit crane works alongside windlasses, capstans, and mooring winches to form a complete yacht deck handling system. Unlike industrial cranes, yacht davits are built for space-saving installation, 355° or 360° continuous rotation, and precise control in tight areas. They can handle rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), aluminum tenders, crew transfers, equipment lifts, and provisioning. A well-designed yacht davit crane can effortlessly lift and launch watercraft, reducing manual effort and increasing safety in marinas or at anchor.
