Disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus having a submersible seating surface attached to a watercraft. The submersible seating surface may be raised to serve as a table when not in use as a seat. A tension member provides upward force on the seat, allowing it to be easily raised from a lowered position to a raised position. In some embodiments, a tether is used to provide additional security for the apparatus. In embodiments, a hydrofoil cup holder is affixed to the seat to provide additional lift when a watercraft is moving forward, urging the seat upward and out of the water. The hydrofoil cup holder further includes an opening in a top surface of the cup holder to secure an item such as a beverage container. Embodiments may further include a submerged safety indicator to alert nearby swimmers and/or people on the watercraft of the submerged seat.
