Custom Marine Upholstery

Seating Made to Fit the Boat

Marine upholstery plays a major role in how a boat's interior looks and feels. The shape of each seat, cushion, and backrest has to work with the layout around it.

Whitewater Canvas creates fitted upholstery pieces with attention to the contours, seams, edges, and details that help the finished interior look complete.

Built Around the Interior

Upholstery That Works With the Existing Layout

01

Seat Cushions

Cushions can be shaped around the seat base and nearby interior components for a fitted appearance.

02

Backrests

Backrest pieces can follow the shape and proportions of the seating area while coordinating with the rest of the interior.

03

Fitted Pieces

Individual upholstered pieces can be made around curves, corners, and other boat-specific shapes.

Craftsmanship & Detail

The Small Details Shape the Finished Look

Upholstery is more than simply covering a cushion. Seams, edges, piping, panel shapes, and the relationship between individual pieces all affect the finished result.

Shaped Panels

Individual sections can be fitted around curves, corners, and changing seat profiles.

Seam Placement

Panel and seam placement helps define the shape and visual structure of the finished upholstery.

Piping & Edge Details

Contrasting or coordinating edge details can help finish the shape of the individual pieces.

Custom Fit

Designed Around More Than Just the Seat

Marine seating sits within a larger interior. The surrounding panels, walkways, storage areas, and neighboring cushions all influence how an upholstered piece should be shaped.

Seat Shape

The upholstery follows the underlying seat and cushion profile to maintain the intended form.

Adjacent Pieces

Individual seats and cushions should visually work together as one interior rather than unrelated pieces.

Corners & Curves

Curved edges and shaped corners require careful panel placement for a cleaner finished appearance.

Consistent Finish

Repeating details across multiple pieces can help tie the complete seating area together.
