Beyond the Look: How to Select the Right Boat Upholstery for Maximum Comfort

There is nothing quite like feeling the wind in your hair and the sway of waves beneath you while you cruise on the open seawater. But the truth is always harsh - your boat upholstery might not be ready to feel these adventures.​

Continuous exposure to sea elements and regular use can damage your boat's seating and interior. Upholstery Excellence is here to restore your comfort and ensure your marine adventures stay enjoyable.​

Restoring quality, comfort, and durability to your boat’s interior is our focus. Our expertise ensures your vessel withstands the elements, not just maintaining looks, but lasting value.​

We guide you in choosing and maintaining the right upholstery, delivering results that improve your experience on the water.

What is Boat Upholstery?​

Whether you have a small boat, a yacht, or a motor boat, you are sure to have custom boat furnishings. We handle all the soft surfaces on your vessel, inside and out! That covers it all, from the comfort of saloon sofas, upholstered mattresses, durable sunpads and exterior cushions in the cockpit and foredeck.

The best part? Since no two boats are alike, every piece we repair, design, and install is truly handcrafted. This ensures a flawless, custom fit that matches your boat's unique shape perfectly.​

What is the Best Material for Boat Upholstery?​

Let's be honest: regular fabric just can't handle life on the water. Between the humidity and the spray, your boat takes a beating that your living room couch never sees. If you want your seats to stay looking sharp for the long haul, you really need materials built to survive the elements.​

We offer a wide range of external and internal marine fabrics for every boat style. Our marine-grade fabrics and leathers combine visual appeal with durability against sun, salt, and heavy use.​

Signs of Boat Upholstery Wear and Tear​

Before you start to sail on your sea journey, it is essential to identify the wear and tear signs:​

●       Color fading

●       Vinyl cracking

●       Torn cushions

●       Loose Stitches​

If you see these signs, your boat upholstery fabric needs fixing. So, instead of wasting time, try mending it at the earliest. So don’t wait for your seats to be uncomfortable - tackle the issues early and always keep your boat looking as new.

Choosing the Right Boat Upholstery Fabric

​Look out for the following:

Waterproof

This is an absolute essential for any boat. Your boat upholstery must be able to withstand water splashes and sea spray without absorbing water.​

UV Resistant

When the fabric is constantly exposed to the sun, the color will fade and its quality also deteriorates. With the use of UV resistant fabric, the color remains intact and is more durable.

Low-temperature Resistant

A great marine boat upholstery fabric must stay strong and flexible even in cold weather conditions. This helps when you are storing your boat over several winter months.​

Stain-resistant and Easy to Clean Wipe

Using easy-care fabric is a must for your boat. You will thank yourself, especially if you are facing wavy conditions on board.​

Mould and Germ Resistant

No more worrying about debris and dirt. Enjoy cleaner and healthier interiors with boat upholstery.

Fire-resistant

Safety is very important for enclosed cabins. Making it fire-resistant adds another layer of protection.

Samples of our exterior and interior boat upholstery are available online on our website.​
