Jet skis have very specific deck requirements. Discover which areas are covered, which patterns work best and how to order your custom kit.
Jet skis (PWC) are perhaps the watercraft that benefit most from a marine foam deck. Intensive use, constant exposure to sun and water, and the demanding wet-grip requirements make high-density foam the ideal solution for Sea-Doo, Yamaha WaveRunner and Kawasaki Jet Ski, among other brands.
Areas of the jet ski that are covered
- Bow and front hull area: protection against scratches and impacts.
- Rear boarding platform: highest-traffic zone with the greatest fall risk.
- Pilot foot area: maximum grip in any riding condition.
- Hull sides: aesthetic and functional protection.
- Rear seat area (on models that allow it).
Which pattern to choose for a PWC?
For jet skis, the anti-slip factor is the priority. The Hexagonal pattern (P02) is the most requested, with its certified A++ grip rating. For owners seeking a more sporting or personalised look, the Diagonal (P07) and Ribbed (P09) also offer excellent grip with a distinctive aesthetic.

Specific advantages over vinyl and rubber
The most common alternatives for PWC are adhesive vinyl and rubber mats. Vinyl peels in heat and loses grip when wet. Rubber accumulates heat and has a limited lifespan. CALNAUTIC marine foam maintains its grip, colour and shape for years, perfectly adapting to the complex curves of any jet ski hull.
