It holds 150 kg.
It is just air.
6 reasons boat owners are replacing the rigid gangway with an inflatable one. Every photo and every video on this page is real footage from a real test. No renders, no AI, no studio tricks.
Marina test, July 2026. The gangway in these photos is inflated to 16 PSI (1 bar) and hooked between the boat and the dock. Nothing else holds it up.
Boarding is the part of boating nobody talks about. You drag out a plank that weighs a ton, you wedge it between the deck and the dock, and you hope it does not slide the moment you step on it.
Or you jump. And one day, you or a guest will jump badly.
The alternative weighs 5.5 kg and packs smaller than cabin luggage. Here is why it works.
Do not take our word for it. Watch it.
Three clips from the same afternoon, same boat, same gangway. Unedited footage, no music, no voiceover.
An inflatable gangway sounds like a dumb idea. Then you walk on it.
Drop-stitch core, 16 PSI, 1 bar
Inside WAY2 there are thousands of internal threads pulled tight by high-pressure drop-stitch technology. Pump it to 16 PSI (1 bar) and the structure turns rigid, comparable to a solid board. Stiff underfoot, not like a pool toy.
Rated to support up to 150 kg. That is one very large sailor with a full jerry can in each hand.
Look at the photo. Full span, no support in the middle, someone standing on it. That is what 16 PSI of drop-stitch does.
Mid-span, full body weight, zero flex. Real photo from the marina test.
No crane. No brackets. One hand pump.
A traditional rigid gangway needs mounting hardware, deck space and two free hands you do not have. WAY2 needs a hand pump.
This is the entire setup crew: one person, one hand pump. It inflates in minutes, in port, at anchor, anywhere a rigid gangway would be bulky or impossible to handle.
It disappears into your locker.
0.03 cubic meters folded. 5.5 kg.
Deflated and rolled, WAY2 takes up 0.03 cubic meters. That is less than a small cabin suitcase. It weighs 5.5 kg, so you carry it with one hand and it fits even in the smallest lockers.

The honest comparison
| The old plank | WAY2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying it | Heavy, rigid, awkward on a pontoon | 5.5 kg, one hand |
| Storing it | A whole locker or lashed on deck | 0.03 cubic meters, any locker |
| Setting it up | Brackets, hardware, a second pair of hands | One hand pump, hooks on |
| Salt and sun | Corrodes, warps, needs upkeep | No corrosion, no maintenance |
| When not boarding | Dead weight | Work platform and floating mat |
You are not buying one product. You are buying three.
WAY2 is reversible and modular. The same board that gets you aboard is also:
- A work platform for onboard maintenance, hull cleaning and jobs at the waterline.
- A floating mat for when the work is done.
On deck, dock or beach, it gives you a solid floating surface that resists impacts, UV rays and saltwater.
Same product, different job: hull work from the water, standing on WAY2.
Built for salt, sun and zero maintenance.
Every material was chosen for life on board:
- Double-layer marine-grade PVC, heat-welded for maximum resistance to UV and saltwater.
- Heat-welded seams: monolithic, fully waterproof, no glue, no weak points.
- EasyGrip EVA surface with hexagonal anti-slip pattern, grippy even when wet.
- High-pressure valve in technical polymer and stainless steel, reliable up to 20 PSI.
- Stainless steel hooks and ergonomic handles for fast, secure attachment.
It does not corrode and it requires no maintenance. Rinse it, roll it, done.

Tested where it counts: a real marina.
We hung WAY2 between a boat and the dock in a marina near Pola, Croatia. Fresh off the pump, hooked on, and crossed. Boat to dock and back, every crossing held.
That test is the footage at the top of this page, and the video further down was filmed the same day, minutes after the gangway came out of the bag.
Bow to dock. The photos on this page are the test.
What owners say after they use it
The first crossing, filmed
Filmed the moment the gangway came out of the bag, in a marina near Pola, Croatia. Original audio, English subtitles. Turn the sound on.
"Works amazingly well! Super easy to put together, very strong, and after only 2 days in a marina we've already had compliments on it!! Well done EasySea!"
Verified buyer
"Love it! Multifunctional, light, easy to store and rigid."
Verified buyer, customer photo
"Very solid and well made. Collapses down to a package that can easily be carried in a small rucksack. Robust, light. Easy to use. Great product yet so portable and takes up little space when not in use."
Verified buyer
"Sur un catamaran où l'espace compte, c'est clairement un avantage par rapport à une passerelle classique. Le produit inspire confiance, les finitions sont sérieuses et le côté polyvalent est appréciable au quotidien au mouillage."
Verified buyer Original review in French
"It seems pretty good. I didn't fall into the water when I tried to use it. There are some minor visual defects but nothing that impacts function. It inflated ok and seems to work. The carry bag is a generous size and it was easy to pack up."
Verified buyer, 4 stars
"Works great! Very versatile!"

The numbers
Questions everyone asks
Is it really rigid enough to walk on?
Yes. The drop-stitch core has thousands of internal threads pulled tight at 16 PSI (1 bar). At that pressure the board behaves like a solid surface, comparable to a rigid gangway. The mid-span photo in Reason 1 shows exactly that: full body weight, no support underneath.
How much weight can it take?
WAY2 is rated to support up to 150 kg.
How big is it, inflated and packed?
Inflated: 200 x 50 x 15 cm. Deflated and rolled: 0.03 cubic meters, less than a small cabin suitcase, at 5.5 kg total weight.
Will it survive sun and saltwater?
It is built for exactly that: double-layer marine-grade PVC, heat-welded seams with no glue, stainless steel hooks and a high-pressure valve in technical polymer tested up to 20 PSI. No corrosion, no maintenance.
What do I do with it when I am not boarding?
Flip it. WAY2 is reversible: it works as a work platform for hull cleaning and onboard maintenance, and as a floating mat. Three functions, one board, one bag.
How fast is the setup?
Unroll, pump to 16 PSI with a hand pump, hook it on, step aboard. It inflates in minutes, with no brackets and no mounting hardware.
Two states, same product: rigged and crossed, then lashed on deck and forgotten until the next port.
Still dragging that wooden plank?
You have two options. Keep balancing on a heavy board that never fits anywhere. Or carry 5.5 kg of drop-stitch that turns rigid in minutes and packs smaller than your weekend bag.
