Custom Boat Upholstery & Marine Canvas Serving Orlando, FL
Canvas Designers offers custom marine canvas covers, boat upholstery, EZ2CY® rigid acrylic enclosures, Sunfly shade systems, and in-house metal fabrication for boat owners throughout the greater Orlando area. Operating from our 35,000 sq ft Riviera Beach production facility since 1985, Canvas Designers provides Florida's most capable marine fabrication service to Central Florida's lake and waterway boating community. Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region sits at the heart of Florida's inland waterway network. The chain of lakes running through Osceola, Orange, and Polk counties including Lake Tohopekaliga, Lake Conway, East Lake Tohopekaliga, and the Butler Chain of Lakes, hosts a diverse boating population ranging from bass fishing platforms and recreational pontoons to ski boats, wakeboard boats, and cruising vessels that navigate the canal connections between lake systems. While freshwater lake boating presents different exposure conditions than coastal saltwater operation, the UV intensity at Central Florida's latitude and the humid subtropical climate still demand marine-grade materials and precision fabrication to protect vessels properly. Canvas Designers builds products built for those real-world conditions, using vessel-specific patterns and materials that outperform anything generic or off-the-shelf.
Florida's Leading Marine Fabrication Operation - Serving Orlando's Lake Country
Canvas Designers operates from 1500 Australian Avenue, Riviera Beach, FL 33404. Our 30+ marine fabrication specialists manage canvas patterning, upholstery fabrication, rigid enclosure production, metalwork, and custom accessories entirely in-house, from pattern development through final finishing, with no production subcontracted to outside vendors. For Orlando-area boat owners, this translates into access to fabrication quality and material depth that no Central Florida shop can replicate.
Why Orlando Boat Owners Choose Canvas Designers
Benefits of Choosing Canvas Designer
Established Since 1985
Four decades of marine fabrication experience serving Palm Beach’s boating community, from sport boats and center consoles to mega yachts requiring full interior overhaul and custom accessory work.
Scale and Capacity
A 35,000 sq ft production facility with 30+ marine fabrication specialists gives us the personnel and equipment depth to handle complex, multi-discipline yacht projects on schedule.
EZ2CY® Exclusivity
Canvas Designers invented and exclusively manufactures EZ2CY® impact-modified acrylic enclosures. Palm Beach boat owners gain access to a superior enclosure system available from no other shop in Florida.
In-House Production
Every canvas piece, upholstery component, enclosure panel, metal part, and custom accessory is built by our own team in Riviera Beach. No outsourcing. No handoff gaps between vendors.
High-Grade Materials
We stock and use Sunbrella®, Ultraleather®, EZ Dri foam, and 316L stainless steel hardware on every project. These are the materials chosen for performance in Florida’s intense marine environment.
Luxury Vessel Experience
Our team carries documented fabrication history across Viking, Hatteras, Princess, Yellowfin, HCB, and Cabo plus numerous custom and semi-custom superyacht platforms across Palm Beach County.
Custom Boat Covers for Orlando's Lake and Waterway Boating
Central Florida's freshwater lake environment presents its own specific canvas challenges. UV intensity at Orlando's latitude rivals South Florida's coastal zones, and the high ambient humidity, particularly during the June-through-September rainy season, creates ideal conditions for mildew growth in any canvas product that traps moisture rather than releasing it. Boats stored on open-air lifts or docked at exposed lake-front properties need covers that breathe, drain, and protect simultaneously.
Canvas Designers fabricates custom boat covers from vessel-specific measurement patterns using Sunbrella® fabric with EZ Dri foam where ventilation matters, and stainless hardware throughout. We build for pontoon boats, bass fishing platforms, ski boats, wake boats, cruisers, and houseboats across Orlando's chain of lakes. Every cover is cut, sewn, and finished in our Riviera Beach facility with no outsourced sewing.
EZ2CY® Enclosures: Premium Protection for Orlando Vessels
While EZ2CY® rigid acrylic enclosures are most commonly associated with offshore and coastal vessels, Orlando boat owners with enclosed helm stations, cruising vessels navigating the St. Johns River waterway system, and larger lake cruisers benefit equally from the EZ2CY® enclosure system's UV blockage, optical clarity, and structural durability. Canvas Designers created this system and fabricates every panel at our Riviera Beach facility, patterned to your vessel's specific cockpit or helm station configuration.
Custom Fender Hooks for Orlando Lake and River Vessels
Canvas Designers builds custom fender hooks for Orlando-area yacht owners and cruising vessel captains who dock along Lake Tohopekaliga, the Kissimmee River chain, and the broader Central Florida waterway network. Every set is fabricated in leather, 316L stainless steel, or specialty materials sized and configured specifically to your vessel's rail geometry rather than adapted from standard stock.
In-House Metal Fabrication for Orlando Boat Projects
For Orlando-area projects that require custom structural or mounting hardware alongside canvas or upholstery work, Canvas Designers' metal fabrication team produces stainless steel and aluminum components in-house at our Riviera Beach facility. Shade pole systems, bimini frame hardware, mounting brackets, and custom mounting systems are fabricated concurrently with canvas work; no external metal vendor required.
Serving Orlando's Boating Community with Florida's Best Marine Fabrication
From custom canvas covers and EZ2CY® enclosures to upholstery refits and precision metalwork, Canvas Designers builds marine products that hold up through Central Florida's high-UV, high-humidity boating seasons. Contact our team to discuss your Orlando vessel and find the right starting point for your project.
Custom Canvas Covers Engineered for Orlando's Climate
The combination of low-latitude UV intensity, salt-laden air off theAtlantic, and a storm season that runs from June through November makes canvasquality a serious practical concern for Palm Beach vessel owners. A cover sizedfrom a catalog template and built from general-purpose fabric won’t performhere, the conditions will expose every shortcut within a season or two.
For Palm Beach owners who also want on-water shade coverage, our biminitop and shade system options extend protection to crew and guests without compromising sightlinesor airflow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Canvas Designers serve boat owners in the Orlando area?
Yes. Orlando and the greater Central Florida lake country fall within our statewide service reach. Canvas covers, bimini tops, fender hooks, upholstery components, and mattresses are shipped directly to Orlando-area clients. For EZ2CY® enclosures and larger upholstery projects, we coordinate in-person measurement visits. Call (561) 848-2111 or submit a request online to get started.
Do you build canvas covers for freshwater lake boats in Orlando?
Yes. Canvas covers for freshwater lake vessels are among our most requested product types from Central Florida clients. We fabricate covers for pontoon boats, bass boats, ski boats, wake boats, and cruisers on Orlando's chain of lakes using Sunbrella® fabric and stainless hardware. Every cover is patterned from the specific vessel's measurements, not sized from a catalog template.
What canvas material works best for boats on Orlando's high-UV freshwater lakes?
Sunbrella® is our primary fabric recommendation for Orlando lake boats. Its UV resistance and color retention perform well under Central Florida's high-intensity sun, and its mildew resistance handles the high ambient humidity of Orlando's rainy season effectively. Stainless steel hardware is standard, and EZ Dri foam is used in ventilation-critical applications. Every cover is patterned to your vessel's actual measurements.
Can you build pontoon boat covers and upholstery for Orlando lake boats?
Yes. Pontoon boats are one of the most common vessel types we work on for Central Florida clients. We fabricate full pontoon canvas packages including bimini tops, shade enclosures, and full covers as well as pontoon seat cushion replacement and full deck furniture upholstery. All products are patterned to your pontoon's specific tube spacing and deck layout for accurate fitment.
Are EZ2CY® enclosures useful for Orlando lake cruisers andriver-transiting vessels?
Yes. EZ2CY® rigid acrylic enclosures benefit any vessel with an enclosed helm station or cockpit that operates in high-UV conditions which includes Orlando's lake cruisers and vessels navigating the St. Johns River waterway connection. The 98% UV blockage rate protects instruments and electronics, and the optical clarity EZ2CY® maintains is a practical advantage regardless of whether the boat operates in fresh or saltwater.
Do you offer repair services for existing canvascovers in North Palm Beach?
Yes. When the underlying canvas structure is still sound, Canvas
Designers evaluates and repairs boat covers and upholstery rather than
replacing them unnecessarily. We inspect seams, stitching, and hardware, and
recommend repair versus full replacement based on the actual condition. Repairs
are completed in-house using the same materials and standards as our new
fabrication work.
How does Canvas Designers handle measurements for Orlando clients who can't visit Riviera Beach?
For canvas covers, bimini tops, and upholstery projects, we provide detailed measurement guides that the boat owner or marina staff can complete locally. For EZ2CY® enclosures, we prefer to schedule an in-person vessel visit because panel fitment requires the highest precision of any product we manufacture. Call our team to discuss the most practical measurement approach for your specific Orlando project.
Do you build custom marine mattresses for Orlando houseboats and lake cruisers?
Yes. Our custom marine mattress service is well-suited to Orlando-area houseboats and lake cruisers that need precise berth and stateroom mattresses. We fabricate to exact vessel dimensions including non-rectangular shapes, angled corners, and V-berth configurations using marine-grade foam and fabric appropriate for Central Florida's humidity levels. Finished mattresses ship directly to Orlando-area clients.
Can Canvas Designers fabricate upholstery for a bassboat or ski boat in Orlando?
Yes. We work on smaller recreational fishing and performance boats as well as larger cruisers and yachts. Console seat upholstery, bolster replacement, and cockpit cushion sets for bass boats and ski boats are handled using the same marine-grade materials and craftsmanship as larger vessel projects. Contact us to discuss your Central Florida boat's specific upholstery needs.
