Rotatable safety seatback for recreational vehicles

A safety seatback for mounting to the rear of a watercraft is disclosed. The seatback rotates about the seat of the watercraft from an upright position to a boarding position. In the upright position the seatback prevents the passenger/rider from falling backward from the watercraft. In the boarding position the seatback does not interfere with a passenger/rider attempting to board the watercraft from the water and aids the person boarding the craft from the water. The seatback may be rotated by the passenger/rider from within the water or, in an alternate embodiment, may be remotely operated by the driver.
