Welcome To The Cushion Doctor
Marine Upholstery in Sarasota
Expert marine upholstery in Sarasota. Custom boat seats, cushions, and canvas repair for all vessels. Quality marine-grade materials built for Florida sun and saltwater.
Every boat is different. Pontoons, center consoles, cruisers, sailboats… they all have unique layouts and needs. We build custom upholstery that fits your specific boat and holds up to real use on the water. No shortcuts, no cheap materials that’ll fall apart in six months.
Got a rip in your captain’s chair? Foam that’s completely shot? Vinyl that’s cracking and peeling? We can rebuild it. Sometimes a full restoration makes more sense than buying new seats, especially when the frame and structure are still solid.
Cushions take a beating on boats. Sun, spray, people sitting on them wet… it’s tough duty. We make cushions with proper marine-grade materials that can handle it. Water-resistant, mildew-resistant, UV-resistant. Built right from the start.
A torn bimini or damaged canvas is more than just annoying, it’s expensive to replace. We do repairs on bimini tops, fixing tears, restitching seams, and getting your shade back in working order. Sometimes a good repair job can add years of life.
Built for the Water
Your boat lives outside in Florida. That means relentless UV exposure, salt air, occasional storms, and all the wear that comes with actually using it. We build upholstery with that reality in mind.
Whether it’s a simple seat repair or a complete interior reupholstery, we bring real experience to every project. We’ve worked on everything from fishing boats to luxury yachts, and we understand what each type of vessel needs.
When we finish a job, we stand behind it. Our warranties aren’t full of weasel words and exclusions. If something goes wrong with our work, we make it right.
How It Works
Call us and describe what you need. We’ll take a look at your boat, assess what needs to be done, and show you material options. Then we’ll give you an honest quote. We try to keep your boat out of commission for as short a time as possible. Sometimes we can work on removable pieces at our shop so your boat stays in the water.
About Us
We’re a local Sarasota upholstery shop that specializes in marine work, among other things. Being local matters because we understand the specific challenges boats face in this area.
Good Selection of Marine Fabrics We keep a solid inventory of marine fabrics in stock. Different weights, different textures, different looks. We can show you options and help you pick something that works for how you actually use your boat.
You Get Direct Access When you work with us, you’re dealing directly with the people doing the work. No call centers, no project managers who’ve never held a sewing machine. Just straightforward communication with people who know what they’re talking about.
Why Boat Owners
Work With Us
We Understand Marine Applications: Boat upholstery is its own beast. You can’t just use regular furniture fabric and foam. We use materials specifically designed for marine environments because we know what works and what doesn’t. There’s a reason marine-grade stuff costs more, it actually survives out there.
- Quality Materials That Make Sense: We stock proper marine fabrics that are built to handle Florida conditions. When we say something is marine-grade, we mean it. These materials are designed for constant sun exposure, saltwater spray, and the general abuse that comes with boating.
Straight Talk on Pricing: We’re not the cheapest option, and we won’t pretend to be. But we’re fair, and you’re getting quality work with materials that’ll last. Compare us to the big marine shops and you’ll see we’re competitive. Plus, you get personal service instead of being another invoice number.
