Opening up the side of the yacht offers a huge amount of additional possibilities to the yacht, such as tender storage, beach clubs and others. Cramm doors are highly reliable even under the toughest sea conditions. The design of the yacht door is based on a 3D model of the client’s yacht, and custom-made in aluminium, steel or stainless steel to enable differing shapes, sizes and weights.
The main difference between a door and a hatch is that a door is located vertically while a hatch is located horizontally. The outside of the doors follows the shape of the hull, while the inside is level and straight. The doors can be electric or hydraulically driven and opened horizontally or vertically to give maximum flexibility.
Cramm yachting systems’ doors and hatches can be installed vertically or horizontally, offering every freedom in selecting the location of the door. As well as the installation method, Cramm can also provide a sliding system to offer a different opening method for hatches on the yacht. Depending on the size, structure, purpose and the location of the door, yacht doors located on the side of the vessel can open upwards or sideways.
MULTIPURPOSE
Instead of having a standard yacht door or hatch with the sole purpose of opening and closing, Cramm can install a wide range of extra features such as windows, portholes, teak, stanchions and railings in accordance with the client’s wishes, giving the door and hatch more possibilities.
For example, a horizontal hatch can have teak fitted to the top of the hatch so the hatch can also serve as a sun terrace. This means that no deck space is lost and the hatch fits perfectly into the design of the yacht.
