Marine Vinyl

Shop marine upholstery vinyl for boat seats, pontoons, helm seating, bolsters, jet skis, golf carts, and other weather-exposed seating. Carolyn Fabrics carries marine lines with different grains, finishes, stretch, color ranges, and documented performance. Check the individual product page for current specifications and care guidance.

Start with Pinnacle, Carolyn Fabrics' 40-color house-brand vinyl for marine and contract seating. It has a soft hand, exceeds 1,500,000 double rubs on the Wyzenbeek abrasion test, and is made with Staycool Technology, which allows all colors to be 10% cooler in direct sunlight. Actual results vary by color and conditions.

Choose Spradling Breeze when the project calls for Spradling or PermaCool. Compare Navigator and Islander for commonly used OEM-style semigloss finishes, or choose among Leon, Zander, Marlin, Beluga, Sanibel, Anchor, and other lines by grain, finish, hand, stretch, color, documentation, and budget.

Marine performance depends on more than the vinyl. Drainage, ventilation, foam condition, cover use, installation, cleaning, and maintenance all affect the finished seat. Order a $5 sample from any product page to compare color, grain, and hand before committing to yardage.

Need a sewn component? Browse pre-sewn boat-seat panels, or compare upholstery thread and sew foam for the rest of the project.

Not sure of the color? Order sample swatches from any product page — $5 each with free shipping — and see the material before committing to yardage.
