Ian,
We have exactly the same situation; we have two methods that work:
1) practice lassoing a pontoon cleat with a midships line, just like many mobos.
2) Fit a fender step at the shrouds, this makes stepping off a doddle, SWMBO has a slightly dodgy hip and finds it perfectly OK. The fender has webbing loops and hooks to give a strong attachment to the gunwhale at a fixed height.
On a good day we reverse in and step off the transom to the pontoon which is even easier.
Along the pontoon from us is a mobo with a blind crew, he picks up a fixed stern warp from a 4 ft vertical pole on the pontoon, that works too.
