A marine seating apparatus designed for supporting an occupant, frequently incorporating lateral extensions to provide upper limb support. These are commonly found on various watercraft, ranging from small recreational vessels to larger commercial ships. The design allows for extended periods of seated activity on the water.
The inclusion of features designed for supporting the arms enhances comfort and reduces fatigue during navigation or leisure activities. Historically, such seating configurations have evolved alongside advancements in boat design and material science, with early examples offering rudimentary arm support and modern versions incorporating ergonomic principles and weather-resistant materials for increased durability and user satisfaction.
