Can you restitch my sail cover instead of replacing it?

Often yes. If the Sunbrella still has color and body, restitching every seam with PTFE thread and replacing the zipper costs a fraction of a new cover. We tell you honestly if the cloth is too far gone.

Do you do oyster boat and commercial seats?

Yes. Wheelhouse and crew seats get commercial-grade vinyl with welded seams and price $350 to $900 each. We can schedule around your season so the boat is not tied up during harvest.

What is a bimini re-cover on my existing frame?

On a straight frame, $600 to $1,500 depending on bow count and fabric. Sunbrella costs more up front than economy acrylic and lasts about twice as long on the Sound.

Boat upholstery in Pass Christian, MS

East Harbor with 164 slips split between the commercial oyster fleet and recreational boats, plus the oldest yacht club on the coast, so sailboat canvas and working-boat seats both show up here.

Pass Christian runs its East Harbor with 164 slips, 21 of them transient, and it is one of the few harbors on the coast where the oyster fleet and the weekend fleet tie up in the same basin. The city keeps commercial slips at a lower rate than pleasure slips, which tells you how much working boat traffic moves through. Both kinds of boats bring us work, and it is different work.

On the recreational side, Pass Christian has the sailing crowd. The yacht club dates to 1849 and the boats that race and cruise out of the Pass need cockpit cushions, sail covers, dodgers and biminis in Sunbrella more than they need vinyl seats. On the working side, oyster boats need wheelhouse seats in commercial vinyl that shrugs off shell grit and diesel. Gulfport Boat Upholstery quotes both off the published tables: a bimini re-cover on your frame is $600 to $1,500, a commercial wheelhouse seat $350 to $900.

The harbor is 20 minutes west of the shop along Highway 90 and Scenic Drive. We meet you at the slip, pattern, and return to fit.

Why Pass canvas fails at the seams first

Sail covers and biminis at the Pass fail at the zippers and the leech edge before the fabric itself gives up. Sunbrella acrylic keeps its color for eight years or more, but economy thread breaks down in two or three summers and the cover starts opening at the seams. We sew everything with PTFE thread so the seams outlast the fabric, and we can restitch a cover that still has good cloth for far less than a new one.
