Beginning Boaters: Alternative Names for Boat Forward Seating
If you are a beginner boater or unfamiliar with the boating world, some boating accessories and boat parts names can be confusing, while some are straightforward. One such boat part is forward seating, which refers to seats placed towards the front of the boat. These seats go by many different names, but they all serve the same purpose: providing comfortable seating options for passengers while underway.
In this blog post, we'll explore some common alternative terms for forward seating and highlight a few excellent options from Birdsall Marine.
What Are Other Boating Terms For "Forward Seating"?
When avid boaters mention "forward seating," they're referring to the seat(s) located at the front of the boat, usually near the bow. However, many casual boaters use different terminology like:
- Front seats
- Bow seats
- Upfront seating
- Seating at the pointy end
An excellent example is Birdsall's Medium Center Console Forward Seat. This convenient front seat helps maximize space on smaller center console boats.
What Are Other Boating Names for Backrests?
Serious boaters know terms like "adjustable backrest" and "flush surface mount backrest." But the general public often calls them:
- Detachable back supports
- Clip-on seat backs
- Boat seat backrests
- Removable cushion backs
Two fantastic options from Birdsall are the Forward Boat Seating Adjustable Backrest Pair and Forward Seating Backrest Flush Surface Mount Pair. These provide adjustable or flush-mounted back support.
