Boat upholstery in Gulfport, MS
Home base. The Gulfport Municipal Marina at Jones Park holds 319 slips, the Bert Jones Yacht Basin adds the sailing and cruising fleet, and the Ship Island ferry and port charters keep commercial seating in constant use.
Gulfport is where the shop is and where the biggest single harbor on the coast sits. The Municipal Marina at Jones Park holds 319 slips a few hundred yards from the beach, and the boats in it get the full Gulf treatment: salt spray off the Sound, afternoon sun with nothing to shade it, and summer humidity that keeps foam damp for months. Seat vinyl on an uncovered Gulfport boat is doing well to reach year eight.
Because the marina is minutes from the shop, Gulfport jobs get our fastest turnaround. We can look at a boat at Jones Park the same day you call, pattern the worn pieces on the spot, and have single seats back in the boat within two weeks during the season. The published table applies: single seat or bench $200 to $550, bow cushion set $600 to $1,500, full bowrider interior $2,000 to $6,000. Trailer boats can also drop at the shop, which shaves a little off the dock visit.
The sailing fleet at the Bert Jones Yacht Basin brings different work: cockpit cushions with closed-cell foam that sheds water, companionway dodgers and sail covers in Sunbrella. Those pieces get quoted from the covers and canvas table.
Every range above comes from the published cost guide at Gulfport Boat Upholstery.
Why sundeck pads go first at Jones Park
Jones Park boats sit in an open basin with the beach to the south, so there is no tree line or building to throw shade at any hour. That is why the sundeck pad on a Gulfport bowrider chalks and cracks before anything else on the boat, and why we push a mooring cover on every interior quote here. A $900 cover buys three or four extra years out of a $4,000 interior.
The marina, the yacht basin and the beachfront
In Gulfport we work Gulfport Municipal Marina at Jones Park, the Bert Jones Yacht Basin, the Ship Island ferry dock and the Highway 90 beachfront, plus private docks and lifts in between. Nearby harbors on the same route:
Gulfport boat owners ask us
- How fast can you re-cover one torn seat on my boat at the Municipal Marina?
- Usually inside two weeks during the season and faster in winter. We pattern it at your slip, sew it at the shop across town, and install on the return trip. A single seat or bench runs $200 to $550 on the published table.
- Is it cheaper to bring my boat to your shop instead of you coming to Jones Park?
- A little, because we skip the dock visit. But most Gulfport owners keep the boat in the water and the difference is small, so we quote both ways and let you pick.
- What vinyl do you use on the Gulf Coast?
- Marine-grade vinyl with UV inhibitors and a mildew-resistant backing, sewn with PTFE thread that carries a lifetime warranty against sun rot. The vinyl gets seven to ten years uncovered on the Sound. We name the exact grade on your quote.
- Do you do the cockpit cushions on sailboats at the yacht basin?
- Yes. Cockpit cushions get closed-cell foam so they float and drain, with Sunbrella or marine vinyl on top depending on how you use the boat. They price like a bow cushion set, $600 to $1,500 for a typical cockpit.
