A convertible seating system for a marine vessel has a leaning post and a reversible seat having a first seat side and a second seat side which is transversely oriented to the first seat side. The reversible seat is coupled to the leaning post and movable into and between a forward seating position located above the leaning post and a rearward seating position located adjacent to the rear of the leaning post. In the forward seating position the first seat side provides a forward seating surface for supporting a seated occupant facing the bow and the second seat side provides a forward backrest surface for supporting the seated occupant facing the bow. In the rearward seating position the second seat side provides a rearward seating surface for supporting a seated occupant facing the stern and the first seat side provides a rearward backrest surface for supporting the seated occupant facing the stern. An actuator is configured to automatically pivot the reversible seat into the forward seating position and also into the rearward seating position.

A configurable seating system for a marine vehicle includes a pivot arm and a base support coupled to the pivot arm. A first position of the pivot arm and the base support faces forwardly, a second position of the pivot arm and the base support faces backwardly, and movement of the pivot arm causes the base support to slide between the first position and the second position.
