A ladder system for a boat having gunwale tubing comprises a ladder including two side rails and at least one rung transversely disposed across the side rails and a platform having a curved recess and platform surface. The top portion of the ladder is pivotably attached to the side of the platform and extends downward therefrom. The platform is disposed on the gunwale tubing of the boat such that the curved recess of the platform receives and engages the tubing. A stanchion extends laterally from the ladder and includes two support each extending from a corresponding side rail of the ladder. A stanchion pad is disposed at an end of said stanchion disposed between the two stanchion supports, and engages the hull of the boat to prevent twisting of the ladder when it is deployed. The ladder system prevents deformation of the gunwale tubing while providing enhanced stability.
