Why Custom Canvas Matters
Generic Covers Leave Gaps. Ours Don't.
Boats on the Bay take a beating, UV, salt air, wind, and hard rain, season after season. Off-the-shelf covers are built to fit every boat, which means they fit none of them perfectly. They sag, trap moisture, and wear out faster than they should.
Every piece we make is custom-measured and pattern-cut to your exact vessel. The fit is right when it leaves the shop, no adjustments on the dock, no gaps where water gets in.
Straightforward from first call to final fit
How It Works
Consultation & Measurement
We take precise measurements and talk through your needs, what you want protected, how you use the boat, and what conditions you're working in.
Fabrication
Your canvas is cut and built in-house by our own craftspeople. No outsourcing. No generic patterns.
Fitting & Review
We install the finished piece and walk you through the fit. If anything needs adjustment, we handle it before we're done.

Marine-Grade Materials Throughout
We use Sunbrella® fabric on all our canvas work, UV-resistant, breathable, and colorfast. Hardware is marine-grade and selected for the application, not pulled from a general supply bin.

Enclosures & Weather Barriers
Full and partial enclosures that seal out wind and spray without trapping heat. Properly fitted panels make the difference between an enclosure that works and one that doesn't.

Custom-Fitted Covers
Cockpit covers, bow covers, and full boat covers, each built from a custom pattern cut to your exact hull. The fit is right when it leaves the shop, not adjusted after the fact.

What people say about us
Mike T.
"They recanvassed our 34' Citation. New enclosure fits tighter than the original, no gaps, no sag, and it's handled everything the Bay has thrown at it since."
Carol W.
"We had the cockpit cushions replaced stem to stern on our 28' Grady-White. They measured everything in place, matched the original profile exactly, and the stitching is still perfect three years in."
Bill C.
"Brought in a boat that hadn't been properly detailed in years. Hull looked like chalk, stained vinyl, foggy eisenglass, they worked through all of it. The finish came back better than I expected."
