Product-Specific Questions

What is the best mat for a dock environment?

Our custom printed rubber-backed dock mat is engineered specifically for harsh marine dock conditions. Unlike typical mats that use household rug backing prone to mold, our industrial-grade rubber backing resists water, salt, and UV damage, delivering both durability and traction. We're the only manufacturer offering this specialized marine-grade solution.

Why choose Boatmat’s custom boarding mats over standard welcome mats?

Our boarding mats are custom-cut and personalized for boarding areas on yachts and sportfish boats. Unlike generic welcome mats, they’re made to withstand UV exposure and saltwater contact while maintaining a luxurious, clean look dockside. Each mat is built for long-term performance and safety.

What are the advantages of embroidered boat mats vs. printed ones?

Embroidered mats offer a premium, dimensional finish ideal for showcasing names, logos, and crests with texture and threadwork. They resist fading and provide a classic aesthetic. Printed mats, on the other hand, allow full-color designs and gradients ideal for photo-quality graphics. Both options use marine-safe materials.

Do you offer yacht mats in custom shapes or curved layouts?

Yes. We can create fully custom shapes—including curved gangway mats or floor coverings for unusual layouts—based on measurements or templates. This makes us the top choice for owners wanting mats that fit without compromise.

Are your mats safe and durable for marine environments?

Yes. Our mats are designed with non-marking, marine-safe rubber backing that ensures a secure grip on slick surfaces. The surface materials resist fading, mildew, and wear—making them ideal for saltwater, UV exposure, and foot traffic on docks and decks.

How do I clean my mat?

Cleaning is simple: just vacuum, rinse with a hose, or use a steam cleaner. Our mats are made for ease of maintenance and long-lasting appearance even with regular use in marine conditions.

How long does it take to receive a custom mat?

Fully custom printed or embroidered orders typically ship in 1-2 weeks or less. For more complex custom layouts or embroidered designs, additional design and proofing time may be needed. For custom quoted orders, you’ll receive an estimated lead time during your consultation.
