THE PERFECT BOAT COVER, CUSTOM FIT FOR YOUR BOAT

 

Tie Down Boat Covers

Whether you’re trailering your boat or storing it for the Winter, tie down covers are convenient solutions to protecting your boat’s interior. Unlike bungee cords, our durable tie down straps won’t stretch or tear your cover, ensuring your boat’s safe from all of the elements.

 

Pontoon Boat Covers

We believe in protecting your party barge, which is why we provide custom fabric and cover solutions for your pontoon boat. These creations provide protection and comfort to those enjoying the cruise, while protecting your boat’s carpet and wood decking from the outdoor elements.

Snap On Boat Covers

If you’re looking for a fast, convenient and perfect fit for your boat cover, our snap on solution is the perfect choice. This style of cover snaps into place, keeping debris, rain, snow and even wind from damaging your boat’s interior. If you frequently travel with your boat, this cover is for you.

 

Boat Cover Accessories

Every single boat we work on is different, and because of this, has different accessory requirements. Whether it’s adjustable poles & vents, gas flaps, notches with velcro, wave wacker notches, bungee cords, boat hull bra, walk through flaps, or much more, we have the right solutions.

Boat Tops & Enclosures

We create Bimini tops and custom enclosures for your boat, keeping you safe and comfortable on the water. Whether you’re looking for protection from the sun, rain, or wind our tops and enclosures can keep you cool or warm while on the water. These custom solutions have you covered!

 

Boat Canopies

The weather on the water fluctuates often. That’s why we create custom boat lift canopies to protect all of your boating equipment. Made with commercial-grade vinyl, these canopies are engineered to hold up to high winds, heavy rains and searing UV rays.

WITH THE BEST QUALITY FABRIC ON THE MARKET

Your boat cover needs to thrive in the harshest of outdoor elements, including sun, wind, rain and even snow. Because of this, we work with a variety of premium fabrics that range from vinyl coated polyesters to solution dyed acrylics and polyesters. We only partner with the top brands, ensuring you receive the best warranties, coatings and color options available. A few of those brands are listed below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Your boat cover is the best possible way to protect your time on the water. A quality cover protects against dust & debris and unwanted animals getting inside your boat. It also provides UV protection for your boat's interior. So yes, at Canvas Craft we believe you need a boat cover.

  • While boat covers are designed to repel water, no cover is 100% waterproof. Some water can leak through seams and other custom-designed areas.

  • Trailering a boat with a cover comes with complications and challenges, so the best case is to trailer without the cover and cover afterward (in order to extend the life of the cover). Our custom covers can be designed to help with aerodynamics during trailering, but best practice is to remove before trailering.

  • Yes, you'll be a lot happier with both the fit and functionality if our team can measure and cut your boat cover at our shop.

  • Our custom boat covers are designed with the best fabric materials on the market. These fabrics, depending on care & cleaning, are designed to last 7-10 years.

  • Unfortunately, no. But, we have a list of preferred partners for this type of work, so don't hesitate to reach out and we'll make sure you get pointed in the right direction.

  • Typically we'll need your boat for 5 business days, but timelines can vary depending on materials, boat type, and the business of season. Note: we're busiest between April and August.

  • Yes, but we typically schedule these during the offseason, as they can take-up quite a bit of space in our shop (and we want to make sure your boat is safe inside).

  • In most cases, repairs take 1-2 weeks, but this can vary based on the materials needed and our current schedules.

  • Unfortunately, no, but in certain cases we can setup appointments for a weekend drop-off.

  • Yes, all of our covers are custom, which means we have solutions for every type of boat.

  • At Canvas Craft, we recommend boat covers based on how you're planning on using, storing and trailering your boat. At the end of the day, the best covers are the ones that fit your unique boating needs, because quality and a perfect fit should be guaranteed already.

  • At Canvas Craft, our boat cover prices are based on the size of cover, fabric being used, and any customizations (i.e. notches for trolling motor, gas cap, etc.) required. At a high level, you should plan on your quality, custom boat cover ranging between $900-$1,250.

  • While tarps can provide some protection, they are - in most cases - not trailerable, and usually do not protect your boat against heavy rain or snow. This, coupled with limited ventilation, which can cause moisture/mold/mildew to build up, makes choosing a custom boat cover the better solution.
