For your boat's cockpit and deckhouse coverings, there are several solutions that combine aesthetics, functionality, and ease of maintenance. The most common options include EVA foam coverings, synthetic teak, cork, and non-slip polyurethane paints. Below, I'll present some of the best options available:

🧰 EVA Foam Liners

EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) foam is a lightweight, durable, and non-slip material, ideal for marine surfaces. It's easy to install thanks to its adhesive backing and offers superior comfort underfoot. Available in various colors and finishes, often with a teak look.

🌿 MarineCork – Cork Coating

MarineCork is an eco-friendly alternative to teak, made from natural cork. It offers excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, is non-slip even when wet, and does not absorb water. Available in panels or slats, it can be customized with logos or designs.

🎨 Deco-Deck – Non-Slip Polyurethane Paint

Deco-Deck WB is a single-component, water-based polyurethane paint, ideal for renovating decks, deckhouses, and flybridges. It offers 140–160% elasticity, is breathable, and can be walked on after 24 hours. It can be colored and made slip-resistant with the addition of specific powders.

🧱 Synthetic Teak – Flexiteek and Deckfab

Synthetic teak is a durable, low-maintenance solution that mimics the look of natural teak. Flexiteek G2 is flexible, UV-resistant, and liquid-resistant, making it ideal for curved surfaces. Deckfab offers adhesive-backed rubber panels that are easy to install and customizable.

🌳 Natural Teak – Traditional Solution

For those who prefer natural wood, teak remains a classic choice. Martinelli Secchieri offers teak deck installation and restoration services, with the option of customizing the slats and finishes.
