I replaced my snap in carpets with a snap in weave type, some of the boat manufacturers call is 'seagraas' or something similar.

We are very happy with it.

Water just rolls of of it, so you are no longer feeling like you are walking on a wet sponge after swimming.

If some one spills something, just rinse it easily off.

Sand from a sandbar is easystem to rinse away.

I don't have a pet on board, but it should be easier to clean and not hold pet hair like a carpet will.

It looks great, we went with a teak look.

It does feel a little different under bare feet not as soft feeling as some carpets are.

After a season or two, I like it.
