Carolina Skiff boats spend their lives in sun, spray and rain, and the seat cushions take the worst of it. When the vinyl cracks or the foam stays soaked, we make new cushions to the size of your console seat, leaning post or bow seating, with marine-ready fabric and quick-drying foam.
Quick answerReplacement seat cushions for Carolina Skiff boats: the short answer
Fabrica Kraft makes custom seat cushions for Carolina Skiff boats from your measurements or a template, using Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl or Sunbrella fabric over Dryfast foam that drains and dries fast. Standard shapes take 2–3 weeks; shapes made from a template take 5–6 weeks.

What we make for Carolina Skiff boats
Marine vinyl or fabric: which is better on an open boat?
On a boat that sits uncovered at the dock, marine vinyl is the easiest to live with: it wipes clean after fish, sunscreen and salt spray. Sunbrella fabric feels softer and cooler in strong sun and suits boats that are kept covered. Whichever you choose, use Dryfast foam inside. It lets water run straight through so cushions are not left soggy after rain or a wet ride. See our fabric comparison for more detail.
TemplatesHow do I measure angled or curved boat seats?
Boat seats rarely have square corners. For anything angled or curved, lay a sheet of paper or cardboard on the seat base, trace the outline, and mark the front edge and any snap or screw positions. Email a photo with measurements to care@fabricakraft.com and we will confirm before cutting. Custom shapes from a template take 5–6 weeks.
