Boat Type
Material Used
Honey Fitz Presidential Yacht
A 93-foot 1931 wooden yacht that carried five U.S. Presidents — restored soft goods and a 15-panel enclosure, guided by Jackie Kennedy's own sketches.
Sunseeker 74 Transformation
Four scopes, one boat: exterior upholstery, an interior sofa, utility covers and a re-covered bimini, tied together with a custom honeycomb quilt.
Double Diamond Quilting
Settees rebuilt four inches deeper and a full sunbed fabricated on a bow that was never built to hold one, all in 2 x 2 double diamond Sunbrella.
Sky Bridge Shade Sails
Three triangular mesh shades on stainless poles, rigged with pulleys and cam cleats so one person can strike the whole system by hand.
Swing-Out Enclosure Doors
Side wing panels that swing out to latch like a door, then swing in to hold on magnets underway — a custom hinge system built from scratch.
The Rest Of The Range
Rounding out the shop — interior comfort and finishing pieces built the same way as everything above.

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.
