Which boat shade is right for me?: Bimini, T-top or a shade?
It depends on where you want shade and what your boat already has. A T-top shades the helm; a bimini or a bow/aft shade covers the seats a T-top doesn’t.
Most Florida owners add shade for the bow lounge or the cockpit, because that’s where family and guests sit on a sandbar day. We’ll look at your boat and say what fits.
| What it shades | Good for | |
|---|---|---|
| T-top extension | Rear of the helm and leaning post | Center consoles with a T-top |
| Bow shade | The bow lounge | Family days, sandbar stops |
| Aft / cockpit shade | The cockpit and aft bench | Cruising, anchoring out |
| Bimini top | Seats with no hardtop | Bay boats, bowriders, older boats |
| Custom cover | The whole boat, at rest | Keeping sun and rain off upholstery |
Canvas we make and fit: Pick your shade.
Every piece is made for your make and model, so it fits the frame, the rod holders and the T-top you already have.

Canvas & shade questions: Shade answers.
Something else? Ask the team or start a quote above.
Can you make canvas for a boat I didn’t buy from you?
Yes. We make and fit canvas for any boat; we just need the year, make and model, and a look at the boat.
Will a bow shade work with my T-top?
Usually, yes. Bow shades mount to the bow rails or rod holders, separate from the T-top.
What fabric do you use?
Marine-grade fabric chosen for Florida sun; we’ll show you the colour options when we quote.
Do you make covers for boats on a lift?
Yes. Lift, slip and trailer covers are patterned differently, so tell us where the boat lives.
