Constant sun, salt spray, and heavy use take a heavy toll on marine seating and protective covers. At Wizzard Marine, we specialize in high-durability, custom-tailored marine upholstery and canvas work designed to withstand the harsh marine environment while elevating the look and comfort of your boat.

From replacing worn-out foam and re-stitching cracked vinyl to building completely custom seats and made-to-measure protective covers, every piece is built with reinforced stitching, and marine-grade materials.

What We Offer

Custom Boat & Seat Upholstery: Full re-upholstery or brand-new custom seating built from scratch. Including high-density marine foam shaping, marine-grade vinyls, and specialized fabrics like carbon fibre-style materials for enhanced durability and a high-performance look.

Made-to-Measure Boat Covers: Custom-fitted full boat covers designed specifically to your hull dimensions, protecting your gelcoat, electronics, and interior from UV degradation, dust, and rain.

Custom Engine & Cowling Covers: Tailored engine covers. Available for both storage and vented running covers to guard your motor against sun fading, scratches, and road debris during transit.

Trailer & Transport Covers: Heavy-duty, reinforced trailering covers built to handle high-speed road travel without flapping, tearing, or scratching your boat’s finish.

Canvas Repairs & Modifications: Zipper replacements, snap fastener repairs, and seam re-stitching to extend the life of your existing covers and biminis.

Choosing the Right Materials for Marine Durability

Not all fabrics and foams are created equal when it comes to life on the water. Here is a quick guide on how we choose materials built to handle tough conditions:

1. High-Density Marine Foam (Closed vs. Open Cell)

Standard furniture foam acts like a sponge, trapping water, mildew, and foul odors. We use specialized high-density marine foams that maintain their shape, provide maximum support, and resist water retention and mold growth.

2. UV & Mold-Resistant Marine Fabrics

Marine-Grade Vinyl: Formulated with UV inhibitors and anti-microbial treatments to prevent cracking, fading, and pink-stain mildew under intense sun.

Carbon Fibre & Technical Fabrics: Engineered for high-wear areas (like racing, sport, or heavy-use seats), offering extreme abrasion resistance, superior grip, and a sleek, modern finish.

Heavy-Duty Cover Canvas: Lightweight yet tear-resistant, breathable woven fabrics that keep water and dust out while allowing trapped moisture to escape, preventing internal condensation.

Pro-Tip: To maximize the lifespan of your custom upholstery and covers, rinse off salt residue with fresh water after trips, and avoid storing your boat under a sealed cover while the interior is still damp.
