Chicago Marine Canvas | Custom Boat Covers
Providing Custom Yacht & Boat Canvas, Covers and Repairs to the Chicago Boating Community
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!
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!
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!
This 38′ Lagoon Catamaran needed a new boat cover. This bimini had a different design needed then most of the boats we work on. It needed to be laced on around the metal framing on the boat.
For this cover we used Sunbrella fabric in the color Captain’s Navy. We used GORE Tenara thread in black which is guaranteed to last a life
time, and we used Lenzip zippers, which are also guaranteed to last a life time as well.
We had to reenforce a lot of areas on this cover because of possible rubbing on the metal framing, as well as rubbing from the boom. To do this we add another piece of fabric, or some webbing to add extra strength and durability to the piece. 
We also included a roll up section on the cover for the captain to have good visibility!
This cover turned out great and we again have another happy customer!
