Boat Seat Repair & Reupholstery

Most boat seats fail at the vinyl long before the frame wears out. We strip helm chairs, captain's chairs, bench seats and leaning posts down to the frame and rebuild them to look new.

Seats we work on

Helm and captain's chairs, flip-up bolster seats, bench and jump seats, leaning posts, fishing seats, and pontoon and bowrider lounge seating.

Reupholster vs. buying new seats

Replacement seats from the manufacturer can be expensive, hard to find for older boats, and rarely match the rest of the interior. Reupholstering keeps your original frame and fit, lets you choose colors and stitching, and usually costs much less.

If a frame is cracked or a swivel is shot, we'll tell you up front so you can decide whether to replace just that part.

What a seat rebuild includes

  • New marine vinyl panels patterned from your seat
  • New foam where the old foam is compressed or waterlogged
  • Piping and accent colors to match or update your interior
  • Stainless staples and hardware

Small repairs too

A single split seam or torn panel doesn't always mean a full re-cover. If the rest of the vinyl is healthy, we can restitch or replace just the damaged panel. See before and after.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a boat seat reupholstery take?

Most seat jobs take a week or two from measuring to installation, depending on the season. Book before spring launch if you want them done for the first trip out.

Can you fix just one cracked panel?

Often, yes. If the surrounding vinyl is still in good shape, we can replace a single panel or restitch a seam.

Will new vinyl match my other seats?

We bring swatches to match your existing upholstery. If the rest is sun-faded, we may suggest doing the set so everything matches.
