Teak alternatives: 4 options for decking that doesn’t cost the earth
May 7, 2020
Rupert Holmes explains what’s wrong with the marine industry’s obsession with hardwood and looks at real world teak alternatives

Everyone loves an immaculate teak deck. They look great at boat shows and at chic Mediterranean quays, as well as providing excellent non-slip properties in the most demanding of conditions.
However, teak also has drawbacks. Firstly it doesn’t last forever, especially if a modern, and likely relatively thin, teak deck is scrubbed regularly. At the extreme I’ve seen a deck lose 1mm of thickness each year through scrubbing. Given the high cost of replacement this can have a significant impact on a yacht’s resale value.
The material also easily absorbs heat from the sun, making it uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet when in the tropics or Mediterranean summer. This also contributes to heating the interior of the boat.
Ocean Cork is one of many firms to offer eco-friendly teak alternatives
Teak doesn’t look good from a sustainability perspective either. A key problem is illegal logging of rainforest in Myanmar, one of the only four countries in which the species grows. Unfortunately, a ban on importing this illegal timber into the EU hasn’t stopped the trade, as evidenced by court cases in countries including Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Holland following the discovery of illegally imported teak.
As a result, the only way to be absolutely certain a source of teak is sustainable is to use salvaged material (or to ensure that the teak can be GPS-traced back to stump).
Timber at risk
“Teak is now considered a high risk timber,” confirms Nigel Stuart, MD of Spirit Yachts . “We take our responsibility to the environment very seriously and we are not prepared to risk using unsustainable wood.”
Teak alternatives have been available for many years and are gaining wide acceptance. In many cases they also offer multiple advantages over real teak, including better longevity. Many can be factory-made to match a template or CAD file, which significantly reduces labour and installation costs, while customisation can extend to logos and boat names.
Available products can be split into four broad categories:
Modified softwoods
Expanded foam
Many of these don’t absorb liquids and are therefore easy to keep clean as any dirt stays on the surface.

4 eco-friendly improvements to upgrade your yacht
1. Ditch the teak Teak is no longer universally popular. The price has gone up dramatically, supply is dwindling, and…
How hybrid sailing yachts finally became a feasible option
Every sailor is familiar with the wet cough of the diesel engine, and the acrid smell of its exhaust. For…
Many manufacturers offer a range of colours, with the most popular being shades close to freshly-scrubbed teak, or silvered, weathered teak. The former can look amazing at boat shows, though in the real world it can maybe look incongruous to those who understand the damage regular scrubbing does to real teak.
We’ve tried to give indicative prices for different options, but these are exceptionally difficult to pin down. Different products may need vastly different amounts of labour, which obviously affects cost, while detailing and edging is a major factor in the price of factory-made panels. The total cost for boats of similar sizes can therefore vary dramatically depending on the complexity of each of the panel shapes.
1. PVC decks
This option has historically offered some of the most convincing alternative teak products, with the grain, texture, impact resistance and non-slip properties of the real thing. As a result many of the new yachts seen at boat shows actually have simulated teak decks made of PVC.
Flexiteek decking on the SW105 Kiboko III
Despite their slightly textured surface, which replicates the grain of real wood, dirt and stains stay on the surface of PVC decking, so it can be cleaned relatively easily with a wet cloth and maybe soapy water. Unlike real teak, which has a mix of hard and very soft fibres, PVC decks can also be pressure-washed. Another bonus is that damaged areas can be sanded back to reveal fresh material that looks new.
One of the best-known brand names, Flexiteek, is celebrating its 20th anniversary and is expanding rapidly, with demand consistently growing at 20% annually. The company now produces 80,000m 2 of its decking product each year.
The 2G version, launched six years ago, is fully recyclable, while microballoons are used in place of chalk filler, which reduces heat absorption (certain PVC deck types and colours have been known to get very hot in direct sun). Flexiteek is available in a standard 5mm thickness and 11 colours, with plank widths from 45mm-200mm to replicate everything from planking to covering boards and cappings.
Flexiteek says PVC experts suggest the surface may start to crack after 25-30 years, but no problems have been observed on 20-year-old decks so far and the life span may be considerably longer. High traffic areas can become glossy, but these can be gently coarse sanded back by hand to the original matt finish.
Esthec seamless decking installed on a Princess R35
Esthec is a part of composite floor specialist Bolidt, which makes flooring in any shape for industrial applications through to decking for ships. Dutch yard Saffier has been fitting Esthec to its range of daysailers since 2008.
“We made one deck with Esthec and set this right next to a real teak deck,” managing director Dennis Hennevanger remembers, having been immediately taken by the product. “We invited all the customers who had ordered a Saffier with teak deck and gave them the choice… they instantly all went for the Esthec deck.”
Saffier has since built nearly 500 yachts with Esthec decks, “all without any problems”. Hennevanger says it is not necessarily a cheaper option to teak, but thinks it should last forever.
Saffier’s SE37 daysailer is fitted with PVC decks from Esthec
“I also like the technical side of Esthec,” he adds. “It is made completely seamless [the caulking doesn’t go right through], so it is impossible to have any leakages.” Additional benefits are that it is maintenance free, with no fading, has excellent anti-slip properties and comes with a complete freedom of design.
PlasDeck is less well known in the UK but has been established for 15 years, offering a range of PVC products in 28 shades that look and feel like wood. The company holds patents for non-migratory plasticisers that are bound to the molecular structure. The product is therefore very UV resistant and remains elastic as the oils don’t evaporate over time.
Fungus inhibitors throughout the material hold back the formation of the green mould that can all too easily grows on real teak decks, especially during persistently damp winters.
Permateek decking on a Contest 38
Permateek is another popular brand name and has recently introduced new shades that better mimic the grain of real teak. From a sustainability perspective, a big drawback with PVCs is they are plastics and will therefore remain in the environment forever. To offset this Flexiteek plants one tree for every 10m 2 of product sold. Esthec, meanwhile is formed from natural components, without the harmful ingredients commonly found in PVCs.
Prices for PVC products tend to range from €150 to €1,000 per square metre, varying according to the design and size of each panel. As a guide, in the UK Permateek costs £150-£350/m 2 depending on the complexity of the design. This compares to a material cost of around £285/m 2 for 6mm teak – but don’t forget there’s far more labour involved in laying a real teak deck.
Gisatex offers a more economic PVC product, at €69 per square metre, but in a thinner textured, non-slip material that makes no attempt to match the grain of teak. The company, which has been established for 10 years, sells matched repair kits for €10 and says a “very long lifespan is expected.” Light weight is a further advantage, but custom panels are not available.
Gisatex sits at the lower end of the PVC price bracket
There’s an increasing trend towards cork decking, according to Piet van der Staay of Marinedeck 2000, especially among younger boat owners. It’s a natural product harvested from FSC certified forests, largely in Portugal.
Common advice is to look for a product with large cork grains as these cope better with impact. In any case the material is inherently resilient and is significantly better than teak at resisting wear and abrasion.
Cork is also is a good insulator, so decks remain comfortable to walk on even in strong sun. Over a three to five year period it will slowly take a light grey hue, but this can be sanded back to reveal the original colour.
Marinedeck claims that its decking is popular among younger boaters
Marinedeck 2000 consists of cork granules with a synthetic polyurethane binder. It’s produced under high pressure, which gives the feel of high-density material, but is still flexible and absorbs knocks well. It’s supplied as individual planks, or as preformed finished pieces with a standard thickness of 9mm. The company has been in operation since 1986 and says there are still decks in good condition from its early days. As a result van der Staay quotes a 40-year expected lifespan.
Prices for Marinedeck 2000 start at €320/m 2 (ex VAT) including adhesives, while custom panels cost €520/m 2 (ex. VAT).
Another supplier, Ocean Cork, produces 8mm planks as standard, but 4mm is available if weight is critical. Given it’s one of the lightest decking materials available, at only 2.4kg/m2, for cruisers the thinner option appears to offer little benefit. Prices start at €349 (inc. VAT) for 1m 2 DIY kit (including glue and caulking) and approx €400/m 2 (inc. VAT) for larger custom made panels.
Ocean Cork is available in 8mm and 4mm thickness
This is a material with a soft cushioned feel, excellent grip underfoot and good shock-absorbing properties. SeaDek, which is made from a closed-cell PE/EVA foam is popular throughout the racing world, from sportsboats to the America’s Cup and the Ocean Race. It can be made in custom panels and in different thicknesses and is manufactured with an effective acrylic-based pressure sensitive adhesive for quick peel-and-stick application.
SeaDek’s Jason Gardner says the large range of colour, thickness, density and design options means the price range can be very wide. Whether or not there’s already a pattern for that model of boat in the company’s database also impacts pricing.
Sean Roebuck of ProCast, SeaDek’s leading UK fabricator, says prices including VAT generally work out in the range of £114-£151/m 2 .

Cer-Deck, sold by Italian company Ceredi, also has a soft, slightly cushioned feel, very high resistance to degradation in sunlight and is colour stable.
It is 6-8mm thick and is available with a strong 3M self-adhesive backing to minimise labour costs when fitting. Custom panels cost around €250/m 2 (ex. VAT).
Life expectancy for expanded foam materials is around five to seven years for harsh use, and longer for less-heavily used boats. On the downside these materials are susceptible to damage from impact or pets’ claws.

Modified softwood
Lignia is the latest product to be launched on the market, based on pine grown in FSC certified forests. After harvesting, the timber is impregnated with resin, before being dried in a curing process to ensure the resin is locked in at a molecular level. This gives Lignia performance and durability that can surpass tropical hardwoods.
It has a similar appearance to teak and can be worked in the same way, but has an expected lifespan of 50 years. The impregnation of resin means end of life disposal is not as easy as for untreated timber – the recommended option is to use it as fuel in biomass generating plants.
Anyone who saw the Spirit 50CR at last year’s Southampton Boat Show can attest that a quality yacht with Lignia decks will look stunning. It also has the benefit in being faster to dry than teak, which is handy in areas used for seating. Material costs are a little less than for teak, with typical savings around 5-20%. However, Lignia decks are just as labour intensive to lay as real teak.
Lignia, shown to great effect here on the decks of the Spirit 50CR, is a real softwood product treated to give it the appearance and longevity of teak
Price gauge
Tye Conway of UK-based decking specialist Elite-Teak says that typical installed prices in the UK are often lower than elsewhere in northern Europe, with many jobs falling into the following price ranges (ex. VAT) per square metre:
Italian solar panel manufacturer Solbian has a range of panels with a pigmented layer that creates different colour schemes. The teak option reduces output by only 6-8% compared to an equivalent standard panel, while custom sizes and shapes can be created without increasing prices.
The upcoming Spirit 44E will be fitted with teak-effect solar panels
The company has been working on projects with major boat manufacturers – the panels will be used, for instance, on the locker hatches of the aft deck of the Spirit 44E that’s currently in build. Solbian is also developing a version of the teak-effect panel with a non-slip finish.
Colour shades can also be matched to products of companies such as Flexiteek. Prices are typically 50% to 60% above those for the company’s standard solar panels .

Everything You Need to Know About Your Boat's Teak Decking
Sep 24, 2021
There is a lot to love about teak.
Golden brown, long grain, fresh-cut teak bestows an unquestionable aesthetic elegance to any boat deck. But boat owners don’t just love teak for its looks.
TOUGHNESS AND DURABILITY
Teak is a naturally water-resistant wood from southeast Asia which has been hailed in its ability to beat many wood alternatives (like mahogany and pine) in terms of toughness and durability.
An abundance of silica in teak makes it so tough that it is known to quickly blunt the tools of expert craftsmen. Bad news for craftsmen, good news for boat owners.
Teak can withstand any weather it cruises through, and the same high silica content that dulls a tool’s edge bestows a non-skid surface that provides necessary traction on wet decks.
Teak’s high oil content also forestalls shrinking, expanding, and cracking, helping well-maintained teak decks last up to 40 years before replacement beckons.
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR TEAK
Here’s how to best maintain teak decking on your yacht, without too much extra effort:
Embrace Teak’s Color Changes
As teak is exposed to weather, it naturally takes on a silver-gray patina. But some boat owners prefer to luxuriate in the sun-kissed gold brown of fresh-cut teak.
Maintaining this hue long-term means using harsh brightening agents and committing to a regimen of extensive scrubbing, two things guaranteed to shorten the lifespan of your teak deck to fifteen years or less.
You can lengthen your deck’s lifespan by falling in love with the silver patina it prefers and updating accents on your boat to match.
Cleaning Teak
Though teak’s grain is hard, the soft fibers between grains are easily damaged by hard scrubbing or too-strong cleaners.
To clean your teak deck, simply rinse regularly with fresh or saltwater. Use a mop or soft-bristle brush to wipe away tough dirt, but avoid high-pressure nozzles or washers that damage the wood’s top layer.
How often should I deep-clean my teak deck? Many boat owners will want to undertake a deeper clean one to four times a year (depending on location and wear).
Most experts advise you to steer clear of two-step cleaning solutions and choose single-part wood cleansers and soaps to limit corrosion and maximize your teak deck’s longevity.
If a single-part cleaner is not available, use a non abrasive, powdered dishwasher detergent (like Bon Ami or Calgon). Dilute 1/4 to 1/3rd cup of the detergent in 2.5 gallons of water before applying.
With a mop or soft scrub brush, apply the single-part cleaner or powdered detergent solution to your deck. If using a scrub brush, use care to only scrub across the teak’s grain.
For localized stains, put a drop or two of liquid dish detergent (like Joy) on a terry cloth and rub it into the stain gently. Give the area a thorough rinse before checking your fully clean teak.
Combating Mildew
When mildew inevitably appears on the grain of your teak, softly scrub the spot with a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
Resisting the urge to use bleach will benefit your deck in the long run. However, if the urge proves too strong, mix 1 cup of bleach in 1/2 bucket of water and apply it to the areas in need. Thoroughly rinse the solution away before the decks dry.
Oiling Teak
Boat owners striving to maintain the warm gold of fresh-cut teak will often reach for teak oils (usually tung or linseed) to bring out their wood’s young shine.
Teak oil “feeds” the wood, brightening its grain patterns and intensifying its rich colors. Unfortunately, oiling teak is more about aesthetics than maintenance.
Teak oils do not protect the wood, and only bring back that young color for a month or two at a time. Some experts even claim that these oils catch and hold dirt, leading to blotchy, stained wood over time.
Sealing Teak
Teak sealers are a popular method of care among boat owners looking to achieve their teak’s natural look while extending their deck’s durability.
Rather than “feeding” the wood, sealers block against moisture and dirt while sealing in its natural oils and resins.
A good teak sealer only requires reapplication once a year, making it a more practical option for most boat owners with teak decking.
UNDERTAKING (AND AVOIDING) A MAJOR REFRESH OF YOUR TEAK
When teak decking is properly cared for throughout the year, boat owners can avoid a major refresh or teak restoration project.
However, all boat owners should keep a careful eye on their deck’s caulking and be quick to repair loose strips or gaps that allow water to quickly and destructively penetrate the teak.
Do not trust what you see at first glance. To fully check your boat deck for needed repairs, wet the deck fully and make note of any area that stays wet longer than the surrounding teak. These lingering wet patches give clues to where caulk may need to be removed and reapplied.
In addition to proper cleaning, properly caring for your teak decks means sanding the deck every 12-18 months. (Regular cleaning will minimize the need for regular sanding, and sanding is not recommended for any boats less than a year old.)
Luckily, you can avoid a major restoration project and enjoy the timeless style of your teak decking for decades by putting a little time into cleaning and care now.

9 Best Deck Boats in 2024
We gave our boating experts one job: Find the best and most popular Deck Boats and review them.
Our review team always considers durability, price, quality, and value in their reviews.
Deck boats are popular vessels for day touring and towing. Sometimes called platform boats, they have more open space for entertaining and power for watersports.
Similar to a bowrider on performance and a pontoon for pleasure. That makes these boats favorites on lakes, rivers, and even more open coastal areas.
The most popular deck boats fall between 22 and 28 feet long and usually are powered by a single outboard or sterndrive engine.
The primary entertainment and lounging area is often moved to the bow on a deck boat, in addition to the typical stern cockpit arrangement.
Top brands to look for include Hurricane, Sea Ray, Tahoe, Starcraft, Splendor, Bayliner, and Yamaha.
Read the guide to deck boats below to learn more about the differences with other boat types and to see some of our top deck boat picks.

Where to buy Starcraft SVX OB 171:
If you’re looking for the perfect starter boat, it’s hard to go wrong with a deck boat. The SVX 171 OB is Starcraft’s smallest fiberglass model, but it’s still packed with great features at a great price. This boat is rated for ten people, and there’s plenty of room to spread out and enjoy sun, waves, and sandy beaches.

According to the company, the outstanding ride is thanks to constant airflow in the hull tunnel, which reduces the pounding other boats have during choppy conditions.
These boats also get on plane quickly and have impressive top speeds.
Speldor makes boats ranging from 22 to 26 feet long. All are single-engine and available with either Suzuki outboards or Mercruiser inboard-outboard sterndrives.
Length: 24 feet
Beam: 8 feet, 4 inches

All three versions come with either Mercury sterndrive or outboard powerplants.
The wide-open swim platform on a boat this size makes the inboard-outboard option appealing.
As is typical with Sea Ray products, the SDX 290 is a beautifully constructed and well-thought-out deck boat. It’s loaded with options and built on a reliable Sea Ray hull.
Length: 29 feet, 2 inches
Beam: 9 feet

The Sea Doo Switch is a unique pontoon boat. In fact, it’s more like a ski boat with a lot of space and versatility for fishing, sports and entertaining.
With a steering platform inspired by jet skiing, the Switch is so unbelievably customizable. The Sea Doo Switch Compact is the entry-level model that also represents one of the most affordable boating packages with upgradable quality, we’ve ever seen.
This unique boat is just plain amazing.
Dimensions: The base model Compact Switch, at 13 feet long, is 7’ 8” feet wide and draws 13” of draft without passengers.

Hurricane 2600 OB
Where to buy Hurricane 2600 OB:
Hurricane is the go-to boat brand name for deck boats. The 26-footer Sundeck OB is one of their biggest platforms with the largest passenger capacity. But it’s still the same basic layout and features on their smallest 18-footers.
You can spec your build with any brand engine you like, which is a nice perk when most companies pigeonhole you into their preferred brand. The Hurricane Sundeck has a premium cockpit with dual Simrad consoles for real-time read-out and navigation.
The Hurricane boat company has been producing this vessel style for over 35 years, and it’s only become more elegant and versatile with each version.

Stingray Boats
Stingray 192SC Deck Boat
Where to buy Stingray 192SC Deck Boat:
Stingray’s deck boats range from 17 to 21 feet, making them a great place to look if you want a smaller boat. But these boats have great layouts that provide plenty of space, so they’re worth looking at for starter boats. Their Z-hull is a modified cathedral that provides a solid ride and provides lots of volume for its beam.
At a little over 20 feet long, the 192SC is great for most small families looking for a boat that can do almost anything. It’s big enough to handle your family and friends and has the space and features to try various activities. From light cruising to fishing and watersports, the 192SC can do almost anything and go anywhere.
Length: 20 feet, 1 inch
Draft: 14.5 inches
Weight: 2,700 pounds
Fuel capacity: 40 gallons
Seating capacity : 10
Max power: 200 hp
Bayliner Boats
Bayliner M15
Where to buy Bayliner M15:
Bayliner builds two different series of deck boats. The Element boats feature their M-hull, a modified cathedral hull with three points, and come in lengths from 15 to 21 feet. The DX series has larger vee hulls with lengths available from 20 to 22 feet.
Bayliners are often criticized for their poor built quality, lack of amenities, and cheap fixtures, but the new generation is worth a look if you’re looking for a lot of bang for your buck. A small deck boat for lakes and bays doesn’t need to cross oceans, and Bayliner allows you to get into one of these boats for a lot less than most other brands.
Length : 15 feet, 2 inches
Beam: 6 feet, 7 inches
Draft: 2 feet, 1 inch
Weight: 1,385 pounds
Fuel capacity: 12 gallons
Seating capacity: 5 people
Max power: 60 hp (Mercury outboard)

The Deck Boat Guide
Deck boats are popular vessels for protected waters like lakes and bays. Since they can accommodate various tasks, they make great first boats . Hull designs and powerplant options vary between makers, but they all generally share spacious cockpit seating and deck space.
What Is a Deck Boat?
A deck boat has a hull shape built to maximize deck space. More deck space gives you more room for people, accessories, and storage.
Sportier than pontoon boats, they’ll cost, generally, between $25k and $60k.
From the outside, these boats look like bowriders but with a few differences. Where bowriders usually have a traditional pointed speedboat bow, a deck boat will usually have a flattened bow and widely flared hull to provide room for more spacious seats.
Hull designs and shapes vary widely between deck boats. Most are made of fiberglass, but some are aluminum. Many have vee hulls, but others use a catamaran or a cathedral hull design to provide a wider platform and even more space on deck. The extra space also makes boarding from the bow easier when beaching the boat. You’ll often find swim ladders on both the bow and stern.
Functionally, deck boats have more room for moving around and entertaining. The bow deck area is often large enough to accommodate different dining, seating, and lounge arrangements.
Size and Weight
You’ll find deck boats from around 15 to 30 feet. The middle ground of this range is perfect for most buyers, with 20 to 24 being the optimal place to be. Of course, the right size boat depends on how many people you typically take out and what activities you plan to enjoy.
As is common with this type of boat, deck boats are generally designed to be easily trailerable. You’ll typically see beams limited to 8-feet, 6-inches for this reason. Like other trailerable boats, the right size depends on the towing vehicle.
Some manufacturers make lightweight boats easier to trailer, but their ride on rough water suffers for it. There’s no perfect solution, so you’ll have to choose which works best for your intended use.
Hull Design
The hull of a deck boat can be shaped in several ways to afford the ride and handling qualities that the manufacturer is looking for. The most common hull type is the standard shallow or deep vee, with a single flared bow and a squared-off transom. Where shoal drafts take precedence over ride quality, the vee will be shallower and the bottom flatter. The above-water profile will be flared at the bow for more deck space.
The Hurricane Sundeck OB demonstrates the sportiness of a deck boat that also has plenty of space in that wider, more open hull design.
Another type of hull common on deck boats is the cathedral hull. This is commonly called the Whaler hull, popularized on Boston Whaler boats. The name comes from the shape of the hull—if you inverted the boat, the points of the hull would look something like a medieval cathedral. It has one center hull keel and two side sponsons on each side.
Cathedral hulls provide great stability over the boat’s beam, making them ideal for short-lengthed beamy vessels that spend most of their time on smooth water but need to cut through a chop occasionally. Ideally, they are a little less rolly than a standard vee hull.
Finally, there are a few catamaran hull deck boats on the market. Catamarans provide an ideal amount of deck space, as the two hulls can be spaced quite a ways apart. In addition, they offer shallow draft and excellent speed and efficiency. They are, however, more expensive to design and produce than other hull types.
Deck Layouts
Deck boats are interesting since they appeal to so many different types of boaters. Much like pontoon boats, they’re made for entertaining, swimming, and lounging on the water. But their extra space provides more options, and it’s not uncommon to find fishing or watersports packages offered.
But some go one step further. For example, Hurricane Boats offers their basic deck boat hulls in several varieties. The standard Sundeck is a classic dual-console layout with wrap-around windshield.
It’s similar to their Fundeck pontoon series. But whereas the pontoon has a rectangular hull shape when seen above, the Sundeck has a tapered nose.
The Sundeck Sport includes small consoles and no windshield, giving the boat a lower profile and a more minimalist look.
As you browse through other manufacturers, you will see a unique layout here and there. This is all because deck boats are so useful. They’re the perfect multipurpose boat for nearly everyone.
Propulsion Choices
Deck boats come as either an outboard or an inboard/outboard sterndrive. There are also a few jet-drive options, like those built by Yamaha, but these are often better classified as true bowriders or even ski or surf boats.
Deck Boats vs The Rest
Deck boats are very similar to a few other types of boats that you might want to consider.
Deck Boats vs. Bowriders
In many cases, deck boats and bowriders might seem hard to differentiate from one another. What one maker calls a deck boat could easily be classified as a bowrider by another.
The primary difference, if there is one, is the shape of the forward hull and how much space the boat has in the bow. A deck boat will have a flared bow, allowing for more seating and often a wide platform on the front of the boat. This space can be occupied by lounges, facing seats, or left open to provide a casting area for fishermen.
On the other hand, a bowrider will keep with traditional boat lines. It will come to a point at the bow, meaning the forward seats have little space between them.
No matter which one you pick, its seaworthiness will depend more on the person driving than the boat’s design. Boats are tapered to a point at the bow to increase their righting stability should a wave come over them. With their larger surface area forward on the deck, deck boats have less stability and are more prone to pitchpoling in severe conditions. However, neither of these vessels is intended for the open ocean—they are near-shore, fair-weather cruisers.
Deck Boats vs. Pontoon Boats
The deck of both the deck boat and pontoon boat often share similar features and layouts. These two boats are also used for similar purposes—days of cruising on the water, some watersports, and sometimes fishing.
Pontoon boats are built on pre-formed pontoon hulls. A standard pontoon has two hulls on each side, whereas a tri-toon has a larger center pontoon. Pontoons are typically built of aluminum, and plywood decks are secured above. This modular approach to boat building means that the deck space on a pontoon is often fairly customizable, with various seating arrangements and lounges available.
Deck boats, in comparison, are fiberglass boats. That increases their cost but also makes a sturdier vessel. The complex hull shapes that are possible with fiberglass are more capable of handling waves and chop than pontoons are.
Speaking of crossover classifications, the Sea Doo Switch is a pontoon that functions more like a deck boat because of its added jet ski profile.
Pontoon boats best suit inland waters like lakes, rivers, and protected bays. They are ill-suited for ocean swell or even heavy chop. A deck boat is built to address some of these issues and can easily handle moderate chops on open bays and sounds. As a result, they’re common both on large lakes and in calmer coastal areas, like the Gulf Coast of Florida or Chesapeake Bay.
Deck Boats for Watersports
Deck boats are just as capable for watersports enthusiasts as other options . Like bowriders and center consoles, the biggest detractor is their outboard or sterndrive propulsion, which puts the prop close to swimmers.
Still, with care, many people enjoy waterskiing, wakeboarding, and tubing with deck boats. They provide plenty of speed and power to tow a load, and most makers offer sports towers and tow rings as accessories.
Frequently asked questions
A deck boat resembles a bowrider but has more space in the forward seating area. Often, they will have squared-off bows that include a beach boarding and swimming platform.
Deck boats are good for cruising, entertaining, fishing, and some watersports. These boats are about halfway between a pontoon boat and a performance-oriented bowrider. They have fiberglass hulls that perform well and ride through a light chop with ease. But they also have the wide open spaces that a pontoon boat offers, with plenty of seating and floor space for many activities.
Yes, the layout of a deck boat is similar to what you’d find on most pontoons. You’ll often have a side console helm with wrap-around seating everywhere else. Lounges, recliners, and sun pads are common features of deck boats.
Deck boats are generally not very good at handling offshore conditions or rough, choppy waters. Their hulls usually feature flat or shallow vee features that can pound, and their broad bow sometimes presents balance issues. However, not all deck boats are created equally; some are much better than others.

Everyday Life
TEK-DEK is the ideal alternative to wood decking. It has the same traditional good looks as wood, whilst providing significant practical benefits!
Virtually no maintenance, always non-slip , easy on the feet and considerably less expensive. It maintains its good looks, even in the harshest environments. Our Pure Virgin PVC is UV stablised and manufactured in Britain to exacting standards - guaranteeing years of satisfaction.
As the original synthetic teak manufacturer, Tek-Dek have over 20 years of production and supply experience to both the DIY retail market and wider marine industry - supplying fixing adhesives, ancil lary products, templating services and deck installations. Our innovation and continued commitment to providing the highest quality products ensures Tek-Dek remains the international benchmark for synthetic teak decking by which all others are compared.
Looks and feels like real teak
Practically maintenance free
Fully UV stabilised and stain resistant
Superb non-slip qualities
Tried and tested formula
We only use 100% UV stable virgin PVC
We DO NOT use microbeads or other bulking agents, like 2G products
The way we work:
Initially we can give an indication on cost from the customers own pictures and measurements.
If the customer is happy with this, we will then proceed to templating. Payment for this is needed upfront (unless the customer wishes to undertake this themselves).
The final price is only confirmed once templating has been done.
If the customer wishes to proceed with the final price then we will issue a Pro-Forma Invoice. We require a 50% deposit in order to process your order.
The balance of the decking needs to be paid prior to installation.
The installation fee is payable on completion.
Please note: If a deck is installed and then caulked around the outside, trapping the water and condensation under the deck, this will void your warranty. There are, however, a limited number of exceptions when a deck will need to be caulked around the perimeter, such as a cockpit where a recess forms part of the manufacture of the boat.
Please note: I f we visit your boat and marina charges are incurred then the customer needs to pay the marina directly either before we attend or at the time. The customer is liable for these charges.

New Boats at Cannes Boat Show: Azimut Seadeck 7
Cannes Yachting Festival
Top stories
The impressive Azimut Seadeck 7 will be featured alongside the Seadeck 6 at Cannes. Both boats feature a full diesel electric hybrid drive
Azimut is coming out all guns blazing at Cannes Boat Show with not one but three new show debuts. The freshest of these is the Seadeck 7, which was still having the finishing touches applied to it as we write this.
Like its smaller sibling, the Seadeck 6 , which was launched earlier this summer, the Seadeck 7 has a strong focus on sustainability and will be the first Azimut to feature a full diesel electric hybrid drive. Technical details of this have not yet been released but it’s likely to use Volvo Penta IPS drives and D13 engines linked to a smaller electric motor and battery pack for silent manoeuvring and low-speed cruising over short distances.
It’s not just the drive system that contributes towards a claimed 40% reduction in emissions. Extensive use of carbon fibre and a vacuum-infused hull keeps weight down for improved fuel efficiency, while reconstituted cork decking and carpets made from recycled plastics reduce the consumption of virgin raw materials.
Sliding side doors provide a closer connection with the sea
The design follows the template set by the Seadeck 6 with softer lines that reflect its focus on relaxation and a closer connection with the sea. At the heart of this is Azimut’s ‘Fun Island’ featuring a drop-down staircase into the sea and folding platforms on either side of a central sunbed and dining area. The starboard one even has fittings for a hammock stand built into it.
