Why South Palm Beach 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.
Canvas Boat Covers Built for South Palm Beach Marine Conditions
South Palm Beach boaters contend with year-round UV exposure, afternoon squalls, salt spray from the Intracoastal, and high humidity that accelerates mildew and material degradation. A generic, off-the-shelf cover won't hold up in those conditions. Canvas Designers fabricates custom marine canvas covers patterned directly from your vessel's specifications, not adapted from a catalog size.
We build covers for all vessel types, from compact center consoles and bay boats to large sportfishing platforms and cruisers. Materials are selected for the application: Sunbrella® for superior fade and weather resistance, EZ Dri foam where ventilation and moisture management matter, and stainless hardware throughout. Each cover is cut and sewn in our Riviera Beach facility with no subcontracted labor.
EZ2CY® Enclosures: Rigid Performance for South Palm Beach Boaters
When South Palm Beach boat owners need an enclosure that combines genuine weather protection with uncompromised visibility, EZ2CY® is the system Canvas Designers has engineered for exactly that purpose. As the original creator and sole fabricator of EZ2CY® panels, we build every enclosure at our Riviera Beach facility to your vessel's precise configuration. EZ2CY® panels are impact-modified acrylic; not soft vinyl, not isinglass and that distinction matters.
Custom Fender Hooks for South Palm Beach Yachts
Fender hooks might seem like a minor detail, but on a well-appointed yacht they speak directly to the level of care the owner invests in the vessel. Canvas Designers fabricates bespoke fender hooks for yachts and sportfish platforms in leather, 316L stainless steel, and other premium materials, each set matched to the specific boat and finished to the owner's specifications. Whether you're outfitting a 40-foot cruiser docked at a South Palm Beach marina or a mega yacht requiring a fully coordinated accessory package, our in-house fabrication team builds every hook to order.
In-House Marine Metal Fabrication
Most marine canvas operations refer metal fabrication to outside vendors, adding time, cost, and coordination complexity to every project. Canvas Designers operates its own metal fabrication shop, producing marine-grade frames, structural brackets, mounting hardware, and custom components entirely within our Riviera Beach facility. Our metal fabrication team works in 316L stainless steel and other materials suited for long-term saltwater exposure. Because our canvas, upholstery, and metalwork teams collaborate daily under the same roof, tolerances are tighter, schedules are more predictable, and quality control runs end-to-end without handoff gaps.

Custom Canvas Covers Engineered for South Palm Beach’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
What types of marine canvas work do you do for boats in South PalmBeach?
We handle the full range of marine canvas fabrication, including custom boat covers, EZ2CY® acrylic enclosures, Sunfly shade
systems, bimini tops, T-top covers, and cockpit enclosures. Every piece is patterned to
your specific vessel rather than adapted from a stock template, ensuring
accurate fit and long-term performance in coastal Florida conditions.
How long does a custom boat upholstery project typically take?
Project timelines depend on scope, materials availability, and current
production scheduling. Smaller jobs such as a single helm seat or cushion set
are often completed within one to two weeks. Larger projects like full interior
refits, combined canvas and upholstery
packages, or EZ2CY enclosure builds, may take three to six weeks. We provide timeline estimates during the
initial consultation and keep clients updated throughout the process.
What fabrics and materials does Canvas Designers usefor boat upholstery near South Palm Beach?
Our standard upholstery materials include Sunbrella® (exterior canvas
and shade fabric), Ultraleather® (interior seating and trim), and EZ Dri foam
for applications where moisture management is critical. Hardware across our
canvas and upholstery builds uses 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance
in saltwater environments. Material selection is guided by the specific
application, exposure conditions, and client preference.
Can you repair an existing boat cover rather than replace it entirely?
Yes. Canvas Designers offers repair services for boat covers and upholstery where the underlying structure is still
viable. We evaluate the condition of existing canvas, assess stitching, seams,
and hardware, and recommend repair versus full replacement based on the extent
of wear. If repair is the right call, we complete the work in-house with the
same materials and standards as our new fabrication projects.
What is the difference between a Sunfly shade systemand a standard bimini top?
A Sunflyshade system is a purpose-engineered deployable shade solution designed for fast setup, reliable coverage, and clean aesthetics. Standard bimini tops vary significantly in quality of materials and attachment hardware. Sunfly systems are built and installed by Canvas Designers to integrate cleanly with your boat's existing structure and provide reliable UV protection without restricting airflow or blocking forward visibility. Ask our team which configuration fits your vessel best.
Do you work on yachts and larger vessels docked nearSouth Palm Beach?
Yes. Canvas Designers has documented fitment and fabrication experience across sportfish, cruisers, flybridge motoryachts, and mega yachts. Our production capacity including 35,000 sq ft facility, 30+ specialists, large-format quilting and CNC cutting equipment, allows us to handle large and complex vessel projects that smaller shops cannot accommodate. We work with brands including Viking, Hatteras, Princess, HCB, and Cabo, among others.
Who makes EZ2CY enclosures, and can I get them in South Palm Beach?
Canvas Designers is the original creator and exclusive fabricator of EZ2CY®
impact-modified acrylic enclosures. The
system is not available through any other vendor. South Palm Beach boat owners
can order directly through Canvas Designers, call (561) 848-2111 or request a quote
online. We pattern, fabricate, and install each
EZ2CY system at our Riviera Beach facility to your boat's specific dimensions.
Can Canvas Designers handle both canvas and metal fabrication on thesame project?
Yes and that integrated capability is one of the clearest advantages of working with Canvas Designers. Our in-house metal fabrication team produces frames, brackets, mounting hardware, and structural components on the same timeline as canvas and upholstery work. There is no wait on outside vendors, no coordination gap between shops. For South Palm Beach boaters tackling complex projects, this means faster delivery, tighter tolerances, and a single point of accountability from start to finish.
