What is the best carpet to use for a yacht?
Most boat and some yacht owners use a polypropylene synthetic carpet for moisture resistance, UV fade resistance and increased traction. These carpets are expensive for the low quality look and not as comfortable as wool carpet since it is a plastic material. For a yacht, carpet is common issue that needs repair or replacement. When I personally do a carpet removal and new flooring installation, I suggest Amtico or other luxury options that last and feel better than manufactured marine carpeting.
Do you offer on site yacht repairs? If so, what is your service area?
From Miami to Jacksonville; Cocoa Beach to Tampa. If you are concerned about getting to us, our shop is located in the Port Canaveral cruise ship port.

Can you match the vinyl color and texture in surrounding areas?
We have multiple manufacturers to choose from with a plethora of color options available. It has not been a problem for us in the past to match any vinyl color. We can also change your color with a full vinyl reupholster while matching and complimenting your existing finishes.
How long do vinyl repairs take to complete?
When you need a vinyl repair that requires matching the correct color, the timeline starts with the availability of stock in the color you need. When your color is in stock, we can complete a vinyl repair as fast as 1 day.
Sometimes, we can speed up the process with a full vinyl reupholster of the furniture, padding or full headline replacement. We can find vinyl colors to match and compliment your existing finishes without waiting for a perfect match to come back in stock.
How long does it take to complete a window repair?
Normally a few days. Especially if the entire window must be removed, rebedded and allow for proper cure time. Luckily in the Florida Sun, the curing process does not take long.
What types of furniture damage can you repair?
We repair yacht furniture damage as small as a ding or tear all the way to a full upholstery removal and replacement. We can custom mold padding and foam for indoor yacht furniture with custom upholstery options. For exterior yacht furniture, we suggest vinyl fabric to withstand the harsh elements. There are many soft and colorful vinyl options to choose from.
Do you offer custom designs and colors for my yacht flooring? What type of flooring is the best for a yacht?
Absolutely! Not only do we have options for yacht carpet replacement, we offer luxury Amtico Flooring upgrades that are manufactured to be more durable for your yacht than hard wood & yacht carpet.
