GatorStep Marine Flooring

Custom Non-Slip Decking for Any Vessel

Blue Coast Marine is Northern New York's only authorized dealer and installer of GatorStep premium EVA foam marine flooring. Whether you're upgrading a fishing boat, pontoon, yacht, kayak, or cooler, we custom-cut and install a flooring solution that looks great, lasts for years, and keeps you safe on the water.

The Marine Industry's Gold Standard in Non-Slip Decking

GatorStep is a premium EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam flooring system designed specifically for marine environments. Unlike carpet, rubber matting, or painted surfaces, GatorStep is engineered to handle everything the water throws at it — UV exposure, heavy foot traffic, splashing, fish blood, and more — while staying comfortable, grippy, and beautiful year after year.

Each installation is fully custom — cut to the exact shape of your vessel, in your choice of colors, patterns, and textures. No two boats are the same, and your flooring shouldn't be either.
