Boat Upholstery in Stuart, FL
Helm seating, cockpit cushions, and canvas work for Stuart's sportfishing and center console fleet — built to hold up on the water.
Stuart calls itself the Sailfish Capital of the World, and the boats that run out of here are built for it. The charter fleet working out of the Manatee Pocket, the private sportfishers kept behind homes along the St. Lucie River, and the big center consoles trailered down to Sandsprit Park all share the same problem: interiors that take a beating from sun, salt spray, and hard offshore days. Upholstery that looked fine two seasons ago starts to crack at the seams, foam goes flat under the helm, and vinyl chalks white where the afternoon sun hits it.
Hobe Sound Canvas rebuilds those interiors. We work on helm and companion seating, leaning posts, cockpit bolsters, forward seating, casting platforms, and cabin cushions for the range of boats common around Stuart — from bay boats fished on the river to 40-foot sportfishers docked at Sailfish Point. Every cushion is measured to your boat, cut from marine-grade closed-cell foam, and covered in UV-stable marine vinyl or Sunbrella depending on where it lives and how it gets used.
Because our shop is just up US-1 in Hobe Sound, dropping a project off from Stuart is a short trip, and we can talk through fabric and color choices in person rather than guessing off a phone photo. We also handle the canvas that goes with the upholstery work — bimini tops, helm covers, and console covers — so a full refresh can happen in one place.
Upholstery & Canvas Services for Stuart Boaters
The work Stuart's sportfishing and river boats need most, handled in our Hobe Sound shop.
Helm & Companion Seating
Rebuilds and re-covers for helm chairs, double-wide bench seats, and companion seating. New foam where the old foam has compressed, reinforced stitching at stress points, and vinyl chosen for daily sun exposure.
Cockpit Cushions & Bolsters
Coaming bolsters, cockpit seating, and fold-down backrests for center consoles and express boats. Closed-cell foam that sheds water and drains fast after a wet ride back through the inlet.
Boat Cushion Replacement
Full cushion sets for cabins, forward seating, and casting platforms. We template each piece to your boat rather than working from generic patterns, so everything fits tight with no gaps.
Bimini Tops & Helm Covers
Replacement bimini tops, console and helm covers, and electronics covers in Sunbrella with stainless hardware — the canvas side of a full interior refresh.
