In a system (1) for launching, and recovering, a daughter boat (3) from a stern of a mother ship (2), there is provided a telescopic stern ramp of the mother ship. In the telescopic stern ramp, a landing frame (5) has a telescopic retracted position and a telescopic extended position. Furthermore, the landing frame is reciprocally pivotable between said telescopic extended position and a boat landing pivot position. During a boat recovering operation, the boat landing pivot position of the landing frame allows for reliable and quick fastening of the daughter boat to the mother ship. The telescopic retracted position of the landing frame allows for stowing the daughter boat in the stern area of the mother ship.
