Forty years of giving boats a brand-new skin.
I re-cover worn boat seats and cushions with marine-grade vinyl built for the Florida sun. No new furniture, no gimmicks — just honest reupholstery, done by hand.
Reupholstery for boats — that's the heart of it.
I take your existing seats and give them new skins in fresh marine-grade vinyl. I'm not reinventing the wheel and I'm not building furniture from scratch — I make worn-out boat seating look and feel new again.
Pontoon & deck seating
Full bench runs, L-lounges, and wraparound seating re-skinned in durable marine vinyl that stands up to sun and water.
Captain & helm chairs
Worn, cracked, or torn captain's chairs rebuilt and re-covered so the whole boat matches and lasts.
Repairs & replacements
From a single torn seam to a complete interior re-do — whatever your boat needs, brought back to life.
Also reupholster ATVs, side-by-sides, golf carts, and auto interiors — just ask.
Same boat. Brought back to life.
The best way to judge an upholsterer is to look at his work. Here's one boat I re-skinned, piece by piece — worn and faded on the left, brand new on the right.
Wraparound bench. Faded, stained vinyl replaced with crisp two-tone marine vinyl and clean stitching.
Captain's chair. Torn and worn through — rebuilt and re-covered to match the rest of the boat.
Helm seats. A full set of fresh skins, color-matched across the whole deck.
Every estimate is done in person — and that's on purpose.
After forty years, I've learned a fair price comes from seeing the actual boat, not a photo. Bring it by and we'll talk through what you want, what it needs, and a number that works for both of us. No pressure, no haggling games — just an honest conversation about your boat.
I'd rather earn your trust face-to-face than throw a number at a picture and hope it sticks. That's the old-school way, and it's served my customers well for four decades.
What to expect when you stop in
- I look over your boat with you, in person
- We talk through materials, colors, and what you want
- You get a straight, fair estimate — no hidden fees
- Nothing's owed until the work is done and you're happy
I say what I'm going to do — and I do what I say.
No deposit. Nothing up front. I don't take a single dollar until the job is finished and you're completely satisfied with the work. Simple as that.
Finished boats, fresh out of the shop.
Four decades doing one thing, and doing it right.
I'm Shayne Longboat, owner-operator. I've been reupholstering boats for over forty years, serving the Golden Triangle — Tavares, Eustis, and Mount Dora — and the rest of central Florida. This isn't a side gig or a chain shop; it's my craft and my passion, and every job is done by my own hands.
I keep things simple and honest. I'll tell you straight what your boat needs, do the work the right way with the right materials — same-day in most cases — and stand behind it. If you're not happy, it's not done.
Bring your boat by.
Stop in or give me a call — I'd always rather talk it through in person. Let's look at your boat and figure out what works.
