Taylor Made Left Chaise Pontoon Lounge Seat, White

Taylor Made has been building pontoon and deck boat furniture for a long time, and this Left Chaise lounge is a good example of why their seats hold up. It's a full lounge seat, 26 inches long by 17 inches wide with a 32-inch overall height, finished in clean white marine vinyl. The chaise angle sits on the left side of the layout, so it's the piece you'd put on the port corner of a pontoon or deck boat to build out a matched seating group.

The bones of this seat are what matter on the water. The frame is rotationally-molded marine-grade polyethylene, so it won't rot, delaminate, or soak up water the way an old plywood base does. That's the single biggest upgrade over the wood-framed seats a lot of older pontoons came with. The foam is mildew-resistant polyurethane, the fabric is marine-grade vinyl rated for UV and salt, and it's all stitched with UV-resistant polyester thread so the seams don't chalk out after a season in the sun. The hinges are aluminum and the staples and mounting hardware are stainless. Nothing in this seat is going to be the first thing to rust.

It's a non-adjustable, non-foldable chaise, so the back angle is fixed. That keeps it simple and sturdy, and there's nothing to seize up or rattle. Underneath the cushion you get a dry storage compartment, which is handy for life jackets, dock lines, or a first-aid kit, and the armrest carries two molded cup holders. There's no headrest on this model, so if you want a taller lounging position you'd look at a different seat in the line.

At 17 inches wide the seat itself is sized for one person to settle in, and the 26-inch footprint keeps it from eating your whole deck. The 32-inch back gives you real support behind your shoulders when you're anchored up for the afternoon. It's an upright lounge, not a full recliner, so it reads more like a comfortable helm-adjacent seat than a nap chair. For all-day cruising that fixed angle is a fair trade for a seat that never sags or folds on you.

A few honest notes on fit and install, because these seats are a real project. The mounting holes in the base often don't line up with the factory holes on an older deck, so plan on drilling a fresh template rather than assuming a bolt-for-bolt swap. On a thin aluminum pontoon floor, we'd add backing plates under the mounting points. The poly frame holds screws well, but the floor is usually the weak link, not the seat. And it's worth drilling a couple of small vent holes in the storage area if your deck tends to trap moisture, since the mildew foam stays drier when the compartment can breathe.

Who's this for? Anyone rebuilding or refreshing a pontoon or deck boat who wants a matching, purpose-built lounge instead of a patio chair that won't last a summer on the water. Pair it with a matching right chaise and a bench and you've got a clean, symmetric layout across the stern. The white finish looks sharp on a fresh deck, though it does show oxidation transfer from a chalky hull, so plan on wiping it down with a marine vinyl cleaner every month or so to keep it bright. Do that, and this seat will ride out a lot of seasons.

Taylor Made builds this whole furniture line to the same standard, so if you're outfitting a boat from scratch the pieces match up and wear at the same rate. We stock the common configurations and can help you sort out the left, right, and center seats so your layout comes together the first time.
