Maelstrom Explorer Seat – New 2026/27 Model

Lightweight • Compact • Portable • Adjustable

More comfort. Better grip. Improved design.

Introducing the new 2026/27 Maelstrom Explorer Seat — an upgraded version of our popular portable boat seat, designed to provide comfortable seating and improved stability when you're out on the water.

We've kept the features that made the original model popular and added a number of improvements, including water-resistant materials and an upgraded securing strap.

But one of the most important features remains underneath the seat...

The Anti-Slip Base

The underside of the Maelstrom Explorer Seat features a high-grip anti-slip base, specifically designed to help prevent the seat from moving around when you're sitting on it.

This is particularly important when fishing, paddling or moving around in an inflatable boat.

Instead of constantly having to reposition your seat, the high-grip underside helps keep it securely in place beneath you.

It's a simple feature, but one that makes a big difference when you're actually using the seat on the water.

Key Features

Water-Resistant Material

The new Explorer Seat uses water-resistant materials, helping it cope with the wet environment associated with inflatable boating, fishing and watersports.

Upgraded Securing Strap

The upgraded adjustable strap makes it easier to position and secure the seat while also providing a convenient way to carry or handle the seat when not in use.

High-Grip Anti-Slip Underside

One of the key features of the Explorer Seat.

The specially designed anti-slip underside helps prevent the seat from sliding or moving around while you're sitting on it, providing a more stable and comfortable seating position.

Lightweight & Portable

Designed with portability in mind, the Explorer Seat is easy to carry to and from the water without adding unnecessary weight to your boat.

Folds Flat for Easy Storage

When you're finished using it, the seat can be folded flat, making it easy to transport and store in your vehicle, boat or equipment bag.

Comfortable & Supportive

The padded seat and backrest provide additional comfort and support compared with sitting directly on the floor of an inflatable boat.

Adjustable Seating Position

The backrest can be adjusted to provide a more upright or relaxed seating position, allowing you to find the position that works best for you.

Designed for Inflatable Boats

The Maelstrom Explorer Seat has been designed with the needs of inflatable boat users in mind.

It's compact enough to transport, lightweight enough to carry and practical enough for regular use on the water.

Whether you're fishing for the day, exploring a river, enjoying a trip around a lake or simply want somewhere more comfortable to sit in your inflatable boat, the Explorer Seat provides a simple and effective solution.

Ideal for:

• Fishing
• Inflatable Kayaks & KayakBoats
• Inflatable Boats
• Lakes, rivers & coastal waters
• Camping & touring
• General boating and outdoor use
