Maker sure you use 5052 Aluminum, which is one of the most marine resistant alloys. 6061 plate is a bit stronger, and nearly as marine resistant. Either should work fine.
I forgot - 6063-T6 or 6005-T6 could be a good choices as well - They are marine grade. We build offshore helicopter landing pads out of 6061-T6
