Delray Beach, Florida · Since 1974
Custom Boat Covers
Easy on. Easy off.
Patterned to your boat, cut and sewn by the same hands that build for superyachts. Premium marine fabric, PTFE lifetime thread, stainless hardware.
Covers for how your boat actually lives
For boats that stay in the water. Built to shed rain fast and vent moisture, with a tension system that holds through a Florida afternoon storm.
Reinforced where highway wind loads hit, with strap and tie-down systems that keep the cover on the boat and off your paint at speed.
Full coverage and breathability for the months a boat sits, so you come back to a dry interior instead of mildew.
Fitted covers for consoles, leaning posts, helm electronics, and T-tops, patterned around every grab rail and antenna.
Full sets for larger vessels: deck equipment, tender, stack, windlass, and davit covers, all built to match.
While we have your patterns, we can rebuild seating and cushions in matching marine vinyl and quick-dry foam.
Premium marine fabric, and thread that outlasts it
Solution-dyed acrylic and the premium standard. Longest life in direct sun, richest colors, and the one we recommend for boats that live uncovered in Florida light.
Lighter and extremely strong, our most popular choice. Easy to handle daily, which matters when you cover and uncover the boat every trip.
A coated marine fabric that is fully waterproof and wipes clean, so water sheds instead of soaking in. A strong choice for mooring covers and anything that lives in the weather full time.
Every cover is sewn with 100% PTFE lifetime thread. Ordinary thread rots in UV and seams fail long before the fabric does, which is why so many covers die at the stitching. PTFE never does. Hardware is marine-grade stainless throughout.
You do not have to drill your boat to cover it properly
This is one of the first questions we get, and it is a fair one. Plenty of owners do not want new holes, screws, or snap studs in a hull they just paid for, and they should not have to accept a baggy cover as the trade-off. We build both ways.
Hole-free covers
No drilling, no screws, no snap studs. The cover is patterned and tensioned so it holds itself tight to your boat with nothing permanently fixed to the hull or deck. Nothing to corrode around, nothing to seal, and nothing you have to undo later. The fit does not suffer for it.
For owners open to snaps
If you are comfortable with snaps, we build covers that run on a track and rope system with snaps for an extremely tight, low-profile fit. It is a clean, proven setup and some owners prefer how flush it sits.
If you have no preference, we will lean toward the non-invasive build. You keep your hull exactly as it is and still get a cover that looks like it was made for the boat, because it was.
A cover this good is hard to make. That is the whole point.
A custom cover is not one sewing job, it is a sequence of them, and every step shows in the finished product. Measuring the boat correctly. Patterning around every rail, antenna, and cleat. Cutting precisely so the panels meet where they should. Sewing seams that hold under load and sun. Then fitting it on the boat and adjusting until it sits the way it is supposed to. Skipping any one of those is how you end up with a cover that looks close but never quite right.
We work a cover until it fits properly, because the fit is what makes it last years instead of seasons. A loose cover moves, and a moving cover wears through itself and takes your gelcoat with it.
We also build it the way you want it: fabric, color, hold-down style, how far it comes down the hull sides, and whether it goes on with snaps or with nothing fixed to the boat at all. Tell us how you actually use the boat and we build to that.
And when you call, someone answers. If something is not right, we make it right. That is the part that never shows up in a photo, and it is why our customers come back with the next boat.
Some recent covers
Three covers off our benches, each patterned to a different boat. The process is identical every time: pattern on the boat itself, cut, sew, then come back and fit it in person. Each one stops just before the bow eye, runs well below the rub rail down both sides, and tapers up at the transom so water sheds off instead of pooling. What changes from boat to boat is how the cover holds on, and that part is your call.
From measurement to delivered cover
- Tell us about your boat. Make, model, length, and how you use it. Photos help. A two-minute conversation gets us most of the way.
- We pattern it on the boat. We come to you and pattern in 3D, on the boat itself. That is the step that makes the fit right, and it is why each cover fits one hull and no other.
- You choose fabric and finish. We go over fabric, color, hold-down style, and how far the cover comes down the sides, then double-check those details with you before anything reaches the cutting table.
- We build and fit it. Cut on our CNC table, sewn on our benches, then fitted to your boat so we can confirm it sits the way it should before we hand it over.
Custom boat cover FAQ
Can you build a boat cover without putting holes in my boat?
Yes. A non-invasive cover is tensioned and secured without drilling anything into your hull or deck, so there is no hardware to install, nothing to corrode around, and nothing to explain to the next owner. If you are open to snaps, we also build covers that run on a track and rope system with snaps, which gives you a very tight, low-profile fit. Either way you get a cover that looks right. Tell us which you prefer and we will build to it.
Which boat cover fabric should I choose?
We build in three marine fabrics. Sunbrella is the premium standard, solution-dyed acrylic with the longest life in direct sun and colors that hold. WeatherMax is lighter and extremely strong, and it is our most popular choice for boats that get covered and uncovered constantly. Stamoid is a coated marine fabric that is fully waterproof and wipes clean, which suits covers that live in the weather full time. Every cover is sewn with 100% PTFE lifetime thread, whichever fabric you pick.
What is the difference between a mooring, trailerable, and storage cover?
A cover on a boat in a slip has a different job than one facing highway wind. Mooring covers prioritize water shedding and ventilation so nothing pools or sours underneath. Trailerable covers add reinforcement and tie-down strength for travel loads. Storage covers focus on full coverage and breathability for the months a boat sits. Tell us how you use your boat and we build for that.
How do you get the fit right?
We pattern to your actual boat, never off a generic template. Our shop uses 3D measuring and digital patterning, then cuts on a CNC table so the pattern repeats exactly. That is why our covers sit tight over hardware instead of bunching around it. And if something is not sitting right when we fit it, we stay with it until it does.
What drives the price of a custom boat cover?
Four things, mostly: the size and shape of what we are covering, the fabric you choose, the hardware and tie-down system, and extras like vents, reinforcement patches, or motor hoods. A center console is a different job than a sportfish with a tower. Send us your boat details and we will price it properly.
How long will a custom boat cover last?
Fabric choice and sun exposure decide it, and in Florida sun Sunbrella holds color and strength longest. What usually kills a cover first is not the fabric though, it is the thread and the fit. Ordinary thread rots in UV and seams let go, and a loose cover chafes itself apart. We use PTFE thread that does not rot, and we pattern for a tight fit.
Do you build covers for yachts and sportfish boats?
Yes. The same loft and the same patterning process that covers center consoles builds full cover sets, stack covers, and deck equipment covers for sportfish boats, yachts, and superyachts. If your project is larger or unusual, start a conversation and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right shop.
Do you build boat covers for boats outside South Florida?
Our boat covers are fully custom and patterned on the boat itself, so we build them for boats we can get to, which means South Florida. If you are out of state and want custom canvas from us, our marine sunshades are the product we build and ship anywhere in the country, because a shade is measured with a kit we mail you rather than patterned on site.
