WHY YOUR BOAT NEEDS A CUSTOM BOAT COVER

Why Your Boat Needs a Cover

Uncovered boats are magnets for dust, dirt, bird droppings, tree sap, leaves, twigs, and just about anything else that travels through the air. Add in heat, humidity, UV rays, thunderstorms, hailstones, and freezing temperatures, and you can begin to see how a boat will benefit from protection from the elements. Even boats that are stored inside will still manage to collect an amazing amount of dust, debris, and rodent droppings between outings. 

A boat cover that fits properly will ensure that your boat stays clean, protected, and ready to use for those days when the water is beckoning. 

Not Just Any Cover Will Work

You've bought a boat you love, customized it to fit your needs exactly, and now you need a cover for when it's not being used. You could pick one off the shelf and hope it fits around all the customizations you've made. A better choice is a cover custom-made to fit your boat exactly. One that takes into account your new boat grill or that fun slide you added.

A cover that doesn't fit exactly right will either leave gaps that moisture (or filthy, gnawing rodents!) will enter or will have excess material that has to be bunched up. Those pleats or folds of excess material often trap moisture and are a perfect place for mold or mildew to get a start. 

A custom boat cover will not only do a better job of protecting your boat, but it will almost certainly last much longer than an off-the-shelf model. Saving a couple of hundred dollars on a universal cover at the risk of damaging a boat worth thousands is potentially a very expensive mistake. Don't do it! Invest in a custom boat cover that will actually protect your investment for years to come.

The advantages of a custom boat cover:

  • It will fit your boat perfectly since it's made to accommodate all the special features of your particular boat.

  • The better quality fabrics we use are more durable than those used in mass production. They're also waterproof and UV resistant.

  • Your cover will be reinforced in the specific areas where it's likely to receive extra wear because of the configuration of your boat.

  • A custom cover will feature better craftsmanship and higher quality details such as industrial snaps unlike a mass-produced cover.

  • It will outlast a cheaper cover (up to 7+ years) and save you money in the long run.

Custom work means the absolute best workmanship and customer service, along with exceptional attention to detail. Having a cover specifically designed and crafted for your boat will ensure the most possible protection for your boat.

What Kind of Boat Cover Will Best Meet Your Needs?

First, let's start with the kind of boat you have. After all, there's a huge difference between fishing boats, cabin cruisers, and sailboats. Even among the same make and model of boat, customizations can make a distinct difference in how a cover fits. That's why we offer a range of different boat cover types. You're sure to find one you like and that we can customize to fit your special boat.

Tie-downs: These covers work great for boats on trailers. The cover is tied down to the trailer frame using bungee cords, ensuring a snug fit all around.

Snap on covers: These sleek covers rely on sturdy industrial strength snaps rather than bungee cords for their hold. We can customize your snap on cover to offer your boat absolute protection.

Tops and enclosures: Do you need a custom bimini top or other boat enclosure to keep you out of the sun, so you can enjoy more time on the water? We make custom versions of those comfort essentials, too.

Pontoon covers: Do you have a pontoon party barge? Keep the party going longer with a custom pontoon cover. We can also craft custom tops, enclosures, and curtains to keep you and your party guests comfortable. As a bonus, these products will also provide protection from the elements for your boat's carpeting and wood decking.

Accessory covers: Since every boat cover we make is custom, we're learned to be creative with cover solutions. Do you need covers for adjustable poles, vents, gas flaps, wave wacker notches, walkthrough flaps, an engine, and more? We can help with all. We also offer professional canvas repair to keep a small tear from becoming a big problem.
