Why Choose Professional Marine Upholstery?
Marine-Grade Materials
Boat interiors face unique challenges that automotive or home upholstery materials simply cannot handle:
Moisture Resistance: Marine-grade foams and fabrics resist mold, mildew, and rot
UV Protection: Specially treated materials maintain color and integrity despite sun exposure
Salt Air Durability: Corrosion-resistant hardware and salt-tolerant materials
Easy Maintenance: Stain-resistant fabrics that clean easily with marine-safe products
Custom Fit and Design
Every boat interior is unique, which is why we create custom patterns for each upholstery project:
Precise measurements ensure perfect fit and professional appearance
Custom foam cutting for optimal comfort and support
Fabric selection that complements your boat's style and color scheme
Hardware placement that maximizes functionality and durability
