New covers are available for most dinghy's and ski/wake boats. Whilst many dinghy covers are 'off the peg' the powerboats usually achieve a better fit if they are custom made.
If your old cover is
beyond repair or you simply want to
change its colour/cloth type, we can
often use your old cover as a template to
make up a new one. This method is
faster and is less labour intensive
as making a cover from scratch which
is reflected in the price.
Should you require, our new facility on Sandbanks road allows us to work on your boat under cover meaning we can get the covers made in the dry, whatever the weather resulting in a faster service with no money spent on us traveling to your boat.
We can also make up dodgers, boom covers and various other custom fabrications you may think of.

Top Gun
Top Gun is a superb marine cover fabric designed for long lasting colour, super high strengths, abrasion resistance, breathability, virtually no stretching or shrinkage over time, mildew and ultra violet resistant and very water repellent. The coating of Top Gun will not peel, chip, flake or crack even at temperatures as low as 0°F. To maintain a sharp appearance all that is required is to periodically clean with a mild soap and soft brush followed by a thorough rinse. Top Gun is warranted against premature failure in marine cover applications.

All the above materials are as described by our supliers who have an extremely comprehensive knowledge of all available fabric and agree with us, in the belief that these are currently the most popular choices of material for 99% of boat covers.
Please note that during the summer months there may be a longer delivery time on new covers. This is because we try to stay focused on getting repairs turned around as fast as possible.
