Furniture upholstery and boat upholstery are different trades using different materials. Sun, salt and standing water demand marine-grade vinyl, UV-stable thread and foam that drains instead of holding water. Shops here state that they do marine work — seats and cushions, pontoon furniture, bimini tops and covers. Measure or photograph the seat base before you call; quotes depend on whether the frame and foam are reusable.

Good to know
How much does it cost to reupholster boat seats?
Commonly $150-400 per seat depending on size, whether the foam is replaced and how much of the frame survives. A full pontoon interior runs into the thousands, and most shops quote after seeing photos of the existing seating.
What is marine vinyl?
Vinyl made for outdoor and wet use: UV inhibitors, mildew-resistant backing and cold-crack ratings so it does not split in winter. It is heavier than furniture vinyl and is the reason a proper marine job costs more per yard.
Can a regular upholstery shop do boat seats?
Some can, but the materials and the thread are what matter. A shop that does marine work regularly stocks marine-grade vinyl and UV thread; one that does not may build a beautiful seat that fails in a season of sun.
