The DELUXE ergonomic flip-up seat provides luxurious comfort and versatility for the captain of any boat. With its broad design and high backrest, this chair offers excellent support for the back and thighs during long voyages. The flip-up front cushion (bolster) allows an easy change of position – sit down for a relaxed cruise or flip up the bolster to lean comfortably while standing for better visibility and maneuvering. This means you maintain full control and sightlines without sacrificing comfort.
Crafted from high-quality materials, the DELUXE seat is built to withstand the harsh marine environment. The sturdy plastic frame, reinforced with aluminum components, ensures impact resistance and stability. The marine-grade vinyl upholstery resists UV rays and saltwater, preventing fading, cracking, or mildew. Inside, the high-density foam padding retains its shape and offers softness comparable to luxury automotive seats.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Ergonomic Support: The specially contoured high backrest promotes proper posture, reducing driver fatigue during long hours at the helm. Soft side bolsters hug your torso, keeping you secure during waves or sharp turns.
- Flip-Up Bolster: The flip-up bolster function lets you raise the front portion of the seat. In the up position, the bolster becomes a leaning post, ideal for steering while standing – perfect for frequently shifting between sitting and standing, such as during fishing or when you need a higher vantage point in choppy conditions. In the down position, the bolster provides a deep, secure seating area for comfortable cruising.
- Easy Installation & Secure Locking: This seat mounts on all standard marine pedestals or seat swivel bases. It comes with heavy-duty stainless steel mounting hardware. A built-in strap or locking mechanism secures the bolster in the raised or lowered position, preventing unwanted movement when the boat is underway.
- Marine-Grade Durability: Every component is selected for sea use. The UV-stabilized vinyl won’t fade or crack under sun and salt exposure and cleans easily (just rinse or wipe down). The molded plastic shell won’t corrode or rot, and the hinges are stainless steel to ensure long life in a wet environment.
- Stylish Appearance: The classic blue-and-white color scheme gives your boat a true nautical look. Beyond comfort, this seat upgrades the style of your cockpit. It’s an excellent replacement for aging seats, bringing a modern, premium feel to your boat’s interior.
Recommended Use and Applications: The DELUXE ergonomic seat is an outstanding choice for small to medium powerboats (approx. 3–5 m), fishing vessels, and sporty RIBs where the skipper demands comfort and durability. Thanks to its flip-up bolster, it’s favored in situations requiring frequent standing – for example, sport fishing, water sports towing, or coastal cruising where the pilot needs a clear view of the surroundings. This model may be available in multiple color combinations (e.g., blue/white, red/white, etc., if applicable) to match your boat’s decor. Ensure your pedestal or mounting surface accommodates the seat’s footprint (bolt pattern is standard). With its generous width, the DELUXE seat comfortably accommodates boaters wearing bulky gear like life jackets, making it ideal for family outings or charter tours.
By installing the DELUXE Flip-Up Boat Seat, you significantly enhance your boat’s functionality and comfort. Whether you’re at the helm for hours or taking short trips, this seat will make your boating experience more enjoyable and in control.
