About National Canvas

Sunshades of every kind. Covers for every boat.


Delray Beach, Florida · Since 1974

National Canvas is a precision fabrication shop in Delray Beach, Florida, building custom marine canvas since 1974. We specialize in center console sunshades, superyacht sunshades, and custom boat covers, made in the USA and shipped nationwide.

Who We Are

Precision fabrication since 1974

For over five decades National Canvas has been one of the premier canvas fabricators in South Florida, building shade and covers for boats of every size. The same shop that patterns a sunshade for a 22-foot center console builds shade systems for some of the largest superyachts in the world, and covers for everything in between.

Boat owners across the country order our center console sunshades online and measure with the kit we ship them. Superyacht captains and management companies send us crew measurements from anywhere in the world. Fleet operators, boat builders, and government procurement officers come to us for large-quantity runs built to print. Different customers, same standard: measured right, built right, delivered on time.

We pair five decades of bench craftsmanship, from canvas to upholstery, with 3D measuring, digital patterning, and CNC cutting. That is what lets us cut the same perfect panel once or five hundred times, whether it is one shade for your boat or a contract run of equipment covers for the United States Air Force.
