What Makes Our Sunbrella Gunwale Boarding Mats Unique? 

At Matworks, we’ve been designing custom marine accessories for over 40 years. Our gunwale boarding mats are especially designed with quality and attention to detail. Several features make our custom boarding mats stand out:  

• Sunbrella material: Because gunwale boarding mats will be exposed to harsh marine environments, it needs to be made out of a strong, durable material. We use marine-grade Sunbrella material because it can withstand everything from harsh sunlight to exposure to inclement weather. Not only is Sunbrella durable, but it is also UV- and stain-resistant so you can feel confident that it won’t fade when you’re out boating in the summer. Our Sunbrella material is also simple to clean and maintain, making it easy to keep it looking good as new. 
• Durable design: Our gunwale boarding mat 20”W x 36”L or 30”W x 36”L, offering plenty of protection for your boat’s gunwale. It is especially designed to drape over your boat’s sideboard/ gunwale, adding an extra layer of protection while passengers board. Especially if you’ll be carrying things like fishing rods, you won’t have to worry about your equipment banging around and scratching your boat when you board. Even if you spend a lot of time out on the water, the materials we use won’t deteriorate over time.
• Secure backing: Each Sunbrella gunwale boarding mat is made with a non-skid, non-marking rubber backing for extra durability and security. Whether it’s from rain or splashes of saltwater, if your boat gets wet, it can be hazardous for your passengers to board. We sew 6-pound sand weights into both ends to help keep the gunwale in place when passengers are stepping on and off the boat. The rubber backing and weighted ends help ensure a safer boating experience for everyone onboard.
• Personalization options: We offer an array of Sunbrella fabric colors, edge/ binding colors and embroidery options so you can easily design a gunwale boarding mat that brings your unique design vision to life. Choose from one of our nautical-themed graphics or have your boat’s name, custom text or logo embroidered for a personal touch.
