Before you ask
Frequently asked questions
What material do you use?
Premium marine-grade fabrics, primarily Sunbrella Horizon and Ultra Leather, available across 52 custom CNC-stitched patterns.
Can I machine wash my canvas boat cover?
Machine washing isn't recommended. Rinse with a hose and a soft-bristle brush instead, and let the cover dry fully before folding it away for storage.
Is the upholstery fabric waterproof?
Yes — covers are made for marine conditions, resisting UV, water, and stains, and paired with quick-draining foam that sheds water faster than standard foam.
Where do you ship?
Worldwide, with a few product-specific restrictions on international orders. Reach out for shipping details on a specific item.
What if I'm not happy with my purchase?
A straightforward 30-day return window applies — just get in touch to start the process.
