Mackay Marine Upholstery Services
Salt, sun, and water—great for boating, not so great for your upholstery. Over time, even the toughest marine seating starts to fade, crack, or trap moisture, making your boat look older than it really is. At Custom Unique Trimming in Mackay, we specialise in high-quality marine upholstery that stands up to the elements. Whether you're dealing with worn cushions, outdated colour schemes, or seats that just don’t feel as comfortable anymore, we offer custom solutions using UV-resistant, waterproof, and mould-resistant materials. Our focus is on giving you long-lasting results that look sharp and feel even better, no matter how often you hit the water.
We work on everything from fishing boats and jet skis to yachts and pontoons—offering a tailored finish that suits your lifestyle and vessel. Give us a call on 07 4944 0992
to upgrade your marine upholstery and enjoy the water in comfort and style.
Built to Last in Any Conditions
Marine upholstery isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about performance. The materials used need to handle constant sun exposure, salty air, and water without breaking down or losing their shape. We use marine-grade vinyls and fabrics specifically designed to endure harsh marine conditions while still providing the comfort you need on board. Our services include seat repairs, cushion replacements, custom-fit boat covers, and full interior refurbishments. We can match your current setup or help you create an entirely new design to suit your boat’s layout and your personal style.
From minor repairs to complete overhauls, we make sure every stitch holds up against the elements. If you're ready to refresh your boat’s interior and extend the life of your marine furnishings, give us a ring on 07 4944 0992

FAQ's
What is the best material for boat upholstery?
Marine-grade vinyl is the most popular material for boat upholstery due to its durability, water resistance, and ability to withstand UV rays and mildew. It’s specifically made for outdoor and marine use and comes in a variety of colours and textures. Some boats may also use specialised marine fabrics that are breathable and offer a softer feel, but these must still meet water, mould, and sun resistance standards. Always choose materials labelled as marine-grade to ensure long-term performance on the water.
How do you maintain marine upholstery?
To keep marine upholstery looking its best, regular maintenance is key. Rinse seats and cushions with fresh water after use, especially after exposure to saltwater. Use a soft brush or cloth and a mild, marine-safe cleaner to remove dirt, sunscreen, and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools, as these can break down protective coatings. It’s also a good idea to store cushions indoors when not in use or invest in protective covers to extend their life.
Can boat upholstery be repaired or does it need replacing?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Small tears, worn stitching, or faded sections can often be repaired without a full replacement. However, if the foam is breaking down, the vinyl is cracked beyond saving, or the structure underneath is damaged, full reupholstering may be the better option. A marine upholstery professional can assess the condition and recommend whether a repair or replacement will give you the best value and results.
