When you invest in a Formula boat, you expect unmatched quality — not just in performance on the water, but in comfort, style, and durability below the surface too. One of the key reasons Formula interiors last so long is the combination of Nautolux marine vinyl with PreFixx® coating and Tenara® thread stitching, the gold standard for marine upholstery.


Built to Withstand the Harshest Marine Conditions

The marine environment is tough — constant sun, saltwater spray, wind, abrasion, and spills can take a toll on lesser materials. Formula upholstery is engineered specifically for these challenges:

  • 🛥️ Marine-grade Nautolux vinyl — Resists wear and tear from frequent use.

  • ☀️ UV and fade resistance — Keeps seats vibrant even after long seasons in the sun.

  • 💦 Water and stain resistance — Liquids bead on the surface, making cleanup fast and easy.

  • 🦠 Antimicrobial protection — Resists mold and mildew growth.

  • 🪡 Tenara® thread stitching — Industrial-strength, UV- and weather-resistant stitching that keeps seams intact for years.


What Makes PreFixx® and Tenara® Special?

  • PreFixx® coating: Protects the vinyl from abrasion, sun damage, and staining while making cleaning a breeze.

  • Tenara® stitching: Keeps seams from splitting, resists UV fading, saltwater, and harsh weather, ensuring upholstery stays tight and beautiful.

  • Durability you can trust: Together, these materials create a maintenance-free, long-lasting interior that stands up to real-world marine life.
