Making an informed decision on the particular style of seat that you will need on your boat involves knowing what your boating activities will be and suiting those activities with the most appropriate type of seat(s). Doing this will ensure that you spend a comfortable time while you are on water. If not you might end up with say back to back boat seats where it would have been more appropriate for you to have bucket seats.

So how do you achieve this, you ask? First, you need to understand that there are differences in the different types of boat seats that are around. Lounge boats for instance are mostly found on pleasure crafts. It is common for them to be seen inside the boat and also inside the cockpit area of bigger boats. Most are cushioned seats that are made of plastic or fiberglass frames, having enough space for dry storage below them.

A very common style of lounge boat seat are back to back boat seats, which actually comprise of two boat seats whose back rests have been joined together. These are often common with ferries which carry many passengers. On such water-crafts these seats might be integrated with tables.

Another type that you have is boat bench seat, which is somewhat popular on different kinds of boats mostly the little ones. They are usually the primary seats on dinghies and rowboats, although they can also be found in other water-craft types.

A nice feature, which a boat bench seat possesses is the fact that the entire body is cushioned; at seat and the back as well. It is available in different colors and is totally collapsible or removable.

Apart from the two seats mentioned; the boat bench seat and back to back boat seats, there is another boat seat, which is known as the leaning-post. Although most of them come with a small round bench used for sitting, the primary purpose of this type of seat is to give support to passengers that are standing.

They are often used on boats that are used for line fishing and have the fishing lines with these joined to the leaning-posts. They are also found on center cockpit boats in order to give support to everyone on these boats.

Back to back boat seats are made for lounging and should be used to serve this purpose. Before getting one, ensure that you actually need it for this, so you don't waste some hard-earned money. When buying, you should also ensure you get from reputable suppliers or stores that have various options and offer professional after sales service.
