Given you’re taking up the carpet and for good carpet cost differential isn’t large think about synthetic and a few scatter rugs. The synthetic flooring is much better than in the past and pretty non slip even if wet.

I'm in this camp as well. My boat has carpet everywhere and I hate it. It's nice to look at and walk on, but it's impossible to keep clean. You clean it, use the boat for a few days and it's filthy again. It's just too hard to keep dust and dirt from blowing in or getting tracked in.
Getting rid of the carpet on my boat is solidly on the project list, just hasn't made it to the top yet.
