This low-back folding seat is the perfect solution when you want comfort but deck space is at a premium. It’s suitable for small fishing boats, RIB inflatables, pontoon tenders, or as an extra seat on larger vessels.
Construction & Materials: The seat uses the same high-quality plastic base as larger models – tough against impacts, sun, and water. The low backrest reaches about mid-back on an adult – sufficient for support on short trips or occasional use, while not obstructing visibility or movement on board. The cushions (seat bottom and back) are filled with foam that resists compression, wrapped in marine vinyl upholstery. The blue and white color scheme gives a classic nautical look, and the vinyl is UV-treated – it won’t crack or fade even under daily sun exposure.
Practicality: Due to its compact dimensions (480x400 mm seating area), this seat can be installed in places where standard chairs would be too bulky – for example, on a narrow forward deck, atop a storage box, or on a low pedestal next to the console. When not in use or when you want to free up space (for instance, while fishing and standing up), the backrest can be folded forward. In the folded position, the seat’s profile is low, which reduces wind resistance during transport and protects the upholstery.
Installation: It’s easy to install – if you’re replacing an old seat, you’ll likely be able to use the existing mount since the bolt pattern matches industry standards. For a new installation, you’ll need a seat swivel or bracket (not included) to which the seat can be bolted. Use stainless steel hardware for mounting to ensure maximum longevity.
In summary: This low-profile folding seat offers a balance of comfort and compactness. It’s an excellent upgrade for an old, worn-out seat or an addition to provide more seating without major modifications. With this seat, your boat will look good and be more comfortable for you and your crew.
