Check out these two custom bow cushions we designed.
Using Sunbrella fabric we came up with custom cushion designs. The foam we used is Dryfast foam, that doesn’t hold onto water when it gets wet. We also put screens on the bottom of the cushion to help with drainage from the Dryfast foam.
Both of these cushions have snaps on them to help ensure that the cushion will stay attached to the boat, when going on adventures. The snaps can be hidden or visible, up to you!
This 48′ Fairlane Phantom needed a marine cover for its flybridge.
We created this boat cover using Marine Blue Sunbrella fabric. We also used Black GORE Tenara thread, Lenzip Zippers both of these products have a life time guarantee. We used Boat Vent II to prevent water pooling on the cover, 
and to add airflow while the cover is up. There is interior access with a zipper for this cover so if you are up on the flybridge, you can easily remove it!
We designed a custom cover for this patio furniture out of Black Sunbrella fabric.
A cover like this is great for helping to keep your outdoor furniture dry when it’s rainy, and also protect it from dirt and other debris when it isn’t in use!
Got some patio furniture that needs custom cover? Give us a call!
This Dinghy needed a cover to help prevent water from getting into it when it wasn’t being used.
For this cover we had to keep in mind while designing it, that the only part of the boat that we could put snaps on would be the Aft part of the boat on the
fiber glass, the other parts would need some sort of strap to hold the front and sides down.
Using GORE Tenara thread, which has a life time guarantee, Cadet Grey Sunbrella fabric, and Velcro we got to work.
We made port and star straps to hold the cover down on the side, and Grey DOT snaps. For this cover, Velcro was the way to go!
Not only do we do boat covers, but we can do all sorts of outdoor covers. For this gas grill that spends most of its life outside, we created a cover for it. Using Black Sunbrella fabric, the water will now run off of it and keep the grill dry.
Got any grills that need custom covers? We’re the people to go to!
56′ Carver was in need of a boat cover for its flybridge.
Using Charcoal Tweed Sunbrella fabric and GORE Tenara thread we designed a unique cover for this flybridge. Using two Boat Vent II pole holders, to help prevent pooling of water on the cover, as well as create air flow throughout the flybridge while the cover is up.
46′ Sea Ray was in need of a full enclosure.
For this cover we used Black Sunbrella Supreme with Black Flocking on the 
inside of the fabric. This fabric is water proof and very soft on the inside. We used GORE Tenara thread, and Lenzip zippers. Both of these things come with a lifetime warranty. For the forward windows we used Makrolon. 
Makrolon is a polycarbonate that is clear like glass, and is softer then real glass, and more firm them Strataglass. For the Aft windows we used Strataglass.
This cover turned out great and makes this boat look super sharp!
For this 46′ Sea Ray we created a boat cover. We designed a bimini, along with panels to cover the aft and both port and star sides of the boat. Using Linen Sunbrella fabric to match the forward windows that were in great shape we created two side windows using Strataglass to complete the enclosure. We used GORE Tenara thread and Lenzip 
zippers for this cover, which are both guaranteed to last a life time.
For this 42′ Silverton we created a full enclosure for the flybridge. Using Silica Charcoal Sunbrella fabric and Strataglass, designed a enclosure with maximum visibility for these boaters. We used GORE Tenara thread and Lenzip zippers, both of these are guaranteed to last for life!
We created three forward windows, and three aft windows. All three forward windows have roll ups, along with both port and star windows, and the 
middle aft. This is to help create airflow while the cover is up!
For this 42′ Navigator we designed a full enclosure with maximum visibility.
For this boat cover the customers went with Stamoid fabric in white. Stamoid is a material coated in vinyl and is very easy for cleaning. These boaters wanted to use Makrolon for their Forward windows. Makrolon is an a polycarbonate which is clear like
glass material that is harder then other marine materials commonly used for windows. With Makrolon your windows wont bend and wont wrinkle, and wont scratch. For their side and aft windows, the customer went with Strataglass, that way they could have roll ups for easy access to air flow while the enclosure is still up! 
We created these roll ups with screens to help
prevent any unwanted bugs from getting onto the boat. The forward windows attached to the bimini using Lenzip zippers, using GORE Tenara thread, both of these products are guaranteed to last a life time. The aft windows are attached to the radar arch using kedar and water proof seal to ensure no leakage into the boat. We also created a windshield cover for this boat to help keep the heat off the inside, and the windshield clean when no ones on the boat! This cover turned out great and looks super sharp on this 42′ Navigator!
