SeaDek Custom Marine Flooring

SeaDek’s custom fit marine flooring is the next evolution of cool feet and clean boats. SeaDek uses a premium PE/EVA foam blend that’s incredibly comfortable underfoot, stays cool in full sun, and looks great even after years of use. And with snap-on/snap-off application and removal, it’s easier than ever to clean your boat by taking your flooring out and washing separately. We tried it this summer and loved both the feel of it and how it accentuated our test boat’s colour scheme. With multiple colours and fully custom fits available, you can get the perfect non-slip flooring for your vessel that won’t stain from messes made by fishing or lunch. Even better, SeaDek offers fully personalized custom kits with unique logos, text, and laser art, so your boat will look better than ever!

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
