A dock swivel step is attached to a dock pole by clamps. The swivel step has vertical outer and inner tubes. The vertical tube is clamped to the dock pole. An inner L shaped tube slides inside the outer tube. Attached to the horizontal part of the inner tube is an outer tube. The outer tube is attached to a bracket which in turn is attached to the dock step. The step is biases away from the dock and has a slot near the dock side of the step. The inner vertical and horizontal tube has an angle bracket which receives the slot the dock step to secure it in the horizontal and deployed position. In order to remove the dock step, one simply pulls the step slot away from the angle and pulls the step in the vertical position. The inner tube can then be rotated to a position where the step is vertical and parallel to the dock and in an un-deployed position.
