This invention provides a boarding aid for small boats such as a trailer boats which has a rigid stirrup assembly incorporating a foot support which pivots about a transverse axle for the bow roller between an on-deck stowed position to a deployed position at which it is stably supported by abutment against a stop associated with and spaced from the axle. The axle and the stop are part of a support frame assembly which mounts to the boat's foredeck. When the rigid stirrup assembly pivots to its deployed position it is held stably by the abutment in a position at which the foot support is below and forwardly of the bow roller. The boat is also provided with opposed bow rails which may be gripped to enable a user to elevate themselves from the foot support, onto the foredeck.
