Cockpit Covers

Cockpit Covers are one large piece of canvas sewn together that covers the exterior seating area of the boat. It was start at the top of a windshield or extend over the windshield to protect the dash area. Some features are cutouts around Bimini poles, single or multi mooring poles and a variety of fabric options.

Canvas Enclosure

Canvas enclosures are designed to be able to utilize the cockpit area of a boat or yacht in inclement weather. It typically consists of multiple forward window panels of eisenglass (or is it isenglass?) and aft panels that are a mix of canvas and eisenglass. These can be attached to a hardtop which is becoming more common on newer models or a bimini top made of canvas. Below are some pictures of some of our projects over the past few years.
