How It Works

2
Measure & Estimate
We come to the boat, take measurements, and give clear pricing with no pressure.
3
Patterning
We pattern for a precise fit—either on your boat or by coordinating a shop/marina visit if access is limited.
4
Install
We build the canvas, then coordinate an install time and location (on-site, shop, or marina) based on access.

Our Specialties

The services below cover the most common canvas work we build and install. If you don't see what you need, just reach out and ask.

Materials: Sunbrella® marine canvas, stainless hardware, and UV-rated thread.

Full Boat Covers

Full-coverage protection designed for everyday use. We build custom full covers for boats 20–50 feet, including cabin cruisers, express cruisers, and runabouts. Each cover finishes cleanly below the rubrail and tightens with a drawstring system for a secure fit when stored or on the lift.

Clean below-rubrail finish, a secure drawstring, and reinforcement where it matters.

Cockpit Covers

Quick, effective protection for your cockpit area. We build cockpit covers for center consoles, cuddy cabins, and open boats, designed to snap or tie in place for easy deployment and removal. Each cover fits your boat's specific layout, keeping the interior tidy, dry, and protected from sun and weather.

Easy on/off with reinforced snap and tie-down points built for regular use.

Custom Covers

Need something specific? We build custom covers for real-world use—engine covers, console protectors, windscreen covers, and specialized layouts for unique boats. Every custom design starts with your boat's exact measurements and how you actually use it, with practical coverage exactly where you need it.

Built around your gear—consoles, engines, windscreens, and the way you use the boat.

Bimini Tops

Shade and comfort without fuss. We build bimini tops for boats of all sizes and can either construct a new aluminum frame or replace the canvas on your existing one. Each top is custom-fitted to your boat's layout and beam width, with canvas that handles intense sun and salt water.

New frame builds or re-skins on existing frames, fitted to your layout and beam.

Dodgers

Add shade and spray protection without closing in the boat. We build dodgers for cruising boats, sailboats, and center consoles—can construct a new aluminum frame or fit new canvas to your existing frame. Every dodger is designed for clean aesthetics, excellent visibility, and comfortable everyday use in sun and salt air.

Built for visibility and spray control, with clean lines and solid frame work.

T-Tops

Custom-fit T-top canvas built to fit your frame properly, enhance your boat's profile, and hold up through years of use. We specialize in both canvas replacement on existing frames and complete T-top installations with integrated rod holders, light mounts, and other practical features.

Replacement canvas that fits the frame right, with reinforcement for long-term use.

What Our Customers Say

We don't spend much time asking for reviews, but here's what customers have taken the time to say about working with us.

“They really like to specialize in boat covers. They are just lovely people! They do superior work and turn it out at a very competitive price. They stand behind their work. They did a great job on my 37 ft CC. If there is an issue they will come and figure it out.”

— Tom Brown

“Chuck listens carefully to customer needs and provides suggestions on how to solve those needs. The quality of work delivered is solid. Great customer service, great follow through, and great quality. Recommended without reservation.”

— Jim Wolfgram

“We had to do everything long distance and couldn't be there in person. The cover fit like a glove and made a 1300 mile trip without any issues. No billowing, no flapping. We could not be happier with the work.”

— Monique Mackenzie
Hi Seas Custom Canvas workshop with marine canvas fabrication in progress

Practical Canvas. Done Right.

At Hi Seas Custom Canvas, we focus on building canvas that fits right and works the way it should. We measure everything and build it for the boat it's going on, not from a generic pattern.

We build for how you actually use your boat. That means better fit, fewer headaches, and canvas that's easy to put on, take off, and live with. If you want solid work done the right way at a fair price, we'd be glad to help.

Canvas lasts longer when it's looked after. Here's how we recommend cleaning and re-treating it →.
