New Boat Seats Explained

By Frank Gehry


Whatever the kind of boat you own or are looking to buy, whether you are a professional mariner or a hobbyist, you cannot do without the right seating for your boat.

Especially on older or second-hand boats (but sometimes even on new watercraft), the owner may want to change existing seats with new ones. Sometimes this may just apply to a couple of seats, but sometimes it has to be done for the whole boat.

It's important not to skip this step, both for safety reasons and to make sure that the boat becomes truly yours.

Seating is a very prominent and visible part of any boat and its quality and looks will not only determine how the boat is perceived in relation to the personality of the owner, but also its apparent value, witch would be an important consideration if you are trying to sell a boat.

And if you are selling the boat, new seats will be just as effective as a new paint job to increase the vessel's market value, for a fraction of the cost.

There will be no lack of choice to get new boat seating, due to the amount of manufacturers and also because of the variations in material, form, quality and purpose of seating. The number of points of sale - whether online or through brick and mortar establishments - is also staggering.

You will not be stuck with lack of choice, and the great variety of sellers is actually of help when it comes to getting a good deal, so make sure that you shop around and compare.

There is also the security question to bear in mind. Boat seats are very important, not only for the boat's value and for what is says about you, as noted above, as well as for the comfort of your passengers.

But their importance is also related to the fact that it would be dangerous for passengers - especially for newbies to the world of marine excursions - to remain standing while navigating in open waters, whether rough or calm, or even when traveling through most harbor and coastline areas. Also, most boat cushions double as handy emergency floatation devices in a pinch.
