A boat, having a transom, includes an aft-facing seat. The aft-facing seat may be positioned proximate to the transom and includes a seat bottom that is inclined at a downward angle in a direction extending from aft to fore. A plurality of handles may be provided for the aft-facing seat, with one at an outboard side and another at an inboard side. The aft-facing seat may be configured to be occupied by a person while the boat is moving through the water such that the person's legs extend aft, over the transom.
