Chicago Marine Canvas | Custom Boat Covers
Providing Custom Yacht & Boat Canvas, Covers and Repairs to the Chicago Boating Community
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 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!
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 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′ Tiara needed a full enclosure with an aft cover that could easily roll up.
This marine cover was constructed with Sunbrella Oyster fabric, clear GORE Tenara thread, and white Lenzip Zippers. Both the thread and zippers have a life time guarantee. The three forward windows are made out of a thicker glass called Makrolon. Makrolon is a polycarbonate which is
abrasion resistant, and wrinkle resistant. These windows are thicker, and harder due to the different material they are made out of. They tend to give your new cover a cleaner look, making your boat cover look super sharp once it’s all finished.
The aft cover has one single window, made of Strataglass. Strataglass is softer, which is why we incorporated it in the back piece so the owners of this boat could easily roll their cover up if they wanted to! We used DOT snap fasteners in oyster that way the snaps blend into the cover, along with some kedar we sewed onto the forward windows, and the top of the aft cover. The kedar goes into a track thats attached to the boats hard top/radar arch, making things fit securely and snug!
Overall, our team created another beautiful cover for another happy customer out on Lake Michigan this summer!
