Boat Upholstery in Maitland NSW

Custom Marine Seats, Boat Trim & Upholstery Specialists

Your boat deserves upholstery that’s built to handle Australia’s harsh marine conditions while looking bloody fantastic on the water.

At Crown Custom Garage, we specialise in boat upholstery, marine seat repairs, custom marine interiors and complete boat seat restorations for customers throughout Maitland, Newcastle, the Hunter Region and across NSW.

Whether you own a fishing boat, ski boat, speedboat, aluminium tinnie, runabout, cruiser or jet ski, we design and build marine upholstery that’s comfortable, durable and made to withstand freshwater and saltwater environments.

Every project is handcrafted using premium marine-grade materials, combining exceptional comfort, UV protection and long-lasting durability.

Our Marine Upholstery Services

The Aussie sun and saltwater don’t mess around. Up and down the coast, fierce UV rays, heavy salt spray, and relentless humidity will wreck cheap materials and sloppy workmanship in a single summer. At Crown Custom Garage, we turn those harsh conditions into a display of pure durability, luxury, and dinkum Aussie craftsmanship.

we bring over 30 years of top-tier trade experience in high-end vehicle trimming and classic car restoration straight to the marine world. Whether you’re running a tinnie, a luxury cruiser, a hardcore fishing rig, or a high-performance Jet Ski, we custom-design, rebuild, and restore your vessel’s interior from scratch to make sure it stands up to the toughest conditions on the water.

Boat Seat Upholstery

Top-notch comfort meets legendary durability. Engineered to handle non-stop friction, high wind, and the relentless salty bite when you’re pounding through choppy waters.

Custom Seat Recovering & Patterning

We use strictly top-shelf, anti-bacterial marine vinyl with serious UV blockers, locked down with heavy-duty twin-stitching that won’t give up.

Helm & Bench Seat Restoration

Captain’s chairs (helm seats) and bow or stern lounges get a full structural overhaul using rot-proof synthetic boards, making sure they take a beating in heavy swells without buckling.

Jet Ski Upholstery & Customisation

PWC seats take absolute punishment—constant dunking in saltwater, intense leg friction, and scorching sun exposure.

Full Seat Re-trimming

Custom heat-moulded and stretched for a dead-set perfect fit, leaving zero loose spots or air pockets for water to pool in.

Performance Customisation

Custom builds loaded with high-grip gripper vinyls, marine carbon-fibre textures, custom contrast stitching, and built-in lumbar support for aggressive riding.

Emergency Repairs & Sealing

Quick, airtight patch-ups for tears and split seams to stop saltwater from soaking the foam core before it’s ruined.

Marine Carpeting & Interior Trimming

Non-slip safety underfoot, sound deadening, and clean cabin finishes.

Marine Carpet Installation

Millimetre-perfect edge cutting, custom-overlocked borders, and bulletproof bonding using marine-grade, moisture-resistant adhesives that won’t lift when wet.

The Marine Upholstery Guide: Sorting Out What Your Boat Actually Needs

Before you bring your rig in for a makeover, it’s best to know exactly what level of work you’re looking for. The difference between a quick band-aid job and a long-lasting masterpiece comes down to three distinct paths:

Foam & Structural Engineering

True quality in marine upholstery is all about what’s hidden under the surface.

Marine Foam Replacement & Reshaping

We bin that old, soggy, waterlogged foam and replace it with premium closed-cell marine foam that sheds water, keeps mold away, and holds its shape year after year.

Frame & Bench Rebuilding

Rotten, mushy ply backings get thrown straight in the skip bin. We build new bases using synthetic marine polymer boards (HDPE) that will literally never rot.

The Trade Standard: What Makes a True Master Trimmer

She’ll be right isn’t good enough when you’re out on the water. At Crown Custom Garage, our quality guarantee is built on what you can’t see:

Premium Automotive Materials

Quality starts with the right materials. We offer an extensive selection of premium automotive products, allowing you complete freedom to customise your interior exactly the way you imagine it.

316 Marine Stainless & Monel Staples: Zero rust, meaning no ugly orange rust stains bleeding through your brand-new vinyl.

Smart Moisture Control: Rot-proof composite backing boards combined with breathable mesh undersides (Phifertex) so water drains out and the foam can actually breathe.

Precision Heat Patterning: Slick, smooth curves achieved through proper trade technique and heat, avoiding ugly bunched-up “dog ears” on tight corners.

Biocidal Closed-Cell Foam: High-density foam loaded with anti-fungal treatments to keep nasty mold and mildew at bay.

Premium Marine Upholstery Materials

Australian waterways demand materials that can handle intense UV exposure, moisture and constant use.

We only use premium marine-grade products.
