Marine Upholstery

Do you have a boat you love? From superyachts to runabouts, functionality and comfort are vital to your onboard enjoyment.

We create, repair and refurbish seating, cushions, and other fabric-covered surfaces that are exposed to the unique conditions of a marine environment, such as water, salt, UV rays, and humidity.

Whether you want to install easy clean exterior squabs or you are leaning into luxury for your open sea vessel, Upholstery Specialists are available to create excellent canvas covers, blinis, bean bags, banquette seating, hull linings, and cabin upholstery including headboards and floor coverings.

We can create new upholstered items for custom fit-outs and are available for reupholstery jobs of all scopes and sizes.

Get in touch now and schedule some time while you are in the yard, or talk to us about how we can help maximise your enjoyment out on the water.

Key Features of Marine Upholstery

Durability

Our team chooses highly durable fabrics and materials that are resistant to wear and tear from constant exposure to moisture, salt, and sunlight.

Waterproof and Water-Resistant Materials

Marine-grade vinyl, Sunbrella fabrics, and closed-cell foam prevent moisture absorption. Avoid mould, mildew, and rotting fabric and foam.

UV Protection

Fabrics and materials used in marine upholstery are UV-resistant to prevent fading, cracking, or degradation from long-term sun exposure.

Mold and Mildew Resistance

We use high quality materials that are treated to resist mould and mildew growth, which is especially important in humid environments.

Saltwater Resistance

Our approach incorporates materials built tough to withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance.

Custom Fit and Design

We can custom-make to fit the specific dimensions and design of your boat, ensuring a perfect fit for seating, cushions, and other upholstered areas.

Upholstery Repair & Refurbishment

We assess your free-standing and custom-fitted seating interior and exterior furnishings, including banquettes, bedroom furniture. We identify any worn, ripped or outdated areas and thoroughly clean the item using appropriate products. Then we address worn-out surfaces, rips and missing padding. Our experienced team can mend your furnishings or we can completely refurbish for a fresh, updated look and feel.

Leather Care & Repair

Because leather is a premium material, you need to work with an upholstery specialist with the right knowledge and experience. Adding leather features to your vessel can lend glamour and comfort; these elements will stand the test of time with the right care and attention. We use market-leading products to restore suppleness and prevent cracking when we address repair or refurbishment for your leather furnishings. If the upholstery is beyond repair, we can recover your valued pieces to breath new life into your interiors.

Cabin Upholstery

We will work with you to create a functional, elegant space that reflects your desired style. Whether you want bespoke cushions or customised headboards and seating, we can help you to personalise your cabin with premium fabrics and materials that complement your overall aesthetic and stand up to the demanding marine environment.
