Start with the right kind of coverage.

What is a mooring cover?

A mooring cover is shaped to protect a boat while it is docked, moored or stored. Full covers extend over a broader area than separate console, seat or cockpit covers. The coverage and fastening arrangement are planned for the particular boat.

Can I tow with a storage cover?

A storage cover should not be assumed suitable for road towing. Tell the team before design work if you need a travel cover. The construction, securing method and any extra straps need to suit that intended use.

Coverage in practice

A custom fit for what you keep covered.

From a full-size center console to the tender on deck, the cover starts with the boat and its storage setup.

The fit is in the details

Boat cover design starts with how you store it.

Tell us how the boat is kept, how you get aboard and how you want to handle the cover. Those details help shape the design before fabric is cut.

Choose the material with the cover design.

Discuss fabric, color, handling and care together. Our marine canvas options include Sunbrella, WeatherMAX and Stamoid by Serge Ferrari. The right choice depends on the application.

Coverage & access

Full coverage, a cockpit panel or separate equipment covers serve different needs. Include boarding points, doors and any areas you need to reach while the cover is on.

Hardware & shape

Show the hardtop, T-top, rails, antennas, motors and existing fastenings. Attachment details can include straps, tracks or pins, depending on the particular design.

Storage & handling

Explain whether the boat sits at a dock, on a lift, on a trailer or indoors. Tell us who will remove the cover, where it will be stowed and whether road towing is part of the plan.

Useful answers before you choose

Boat cover questions, answered.

Understand the design, coverage and everyday use before planning your custom cover.

Ask about your boat ↗
How is a custom boat cover designed?

The design starts with the boat’s shape, the areas to cover and its storage conditions. The team reviews fabric, access and fastening details, then confirms the measurements and project requirements before fabrication.

Is a full boat cover the same as a cockpit cover?

A full boat cover extends over a broader part of the boat. A cockpit cover focuses on the aft cockpit or seating area. The right choice depends on the coverage you need and how you want to access the boat.

Can you make covers for tenders and Jet Skis?

Yes. The project examples on this page include a tender cover and a personal watercraft cover. Send the make, model, location and photos of the storage arrangement to discuss your particular cover.

Which fabric should I choose?

Discuss the boat’s exposure, storage conditions, handling and care requirements with the team. Canvas Designers offers marine canvas options including Sunbrella, WeatherMAX and Stamoid by Serge Ferrari. Material and color are selected for each project.

Can a full cover be used while towing?

Tell us before the design is agreed if you need a travel cover. A cover made for dockside or storage use should not be assumed suitable for towing. Confirm the construction, securing arrangement and any extra straps for your boat.

How much does a custom boat cover cost?

The quote depends on the boat, coverage area, fabric, attachment details and fitting requirements. Send your boat’s make, model, year, location and photos so the team can discuss a project-specific quote.
