Overview
Built for Durability, Designed for Performance, Tailored for a Perfect Fit
Your boat is an investment, and in Florida the sun does more damage to it than the water. Apogee Upholstery builds custom marine covers that fit your exact hull, console and T-top, made from marine-grade, breathable fabrics that block UV, shed rain and resist mildew, salt and debris.
From center consoles and pontoons to cabin cruisers, jet skis and outboard motors, we pattern each cover on the boat itself. A custom cover stays tight when trailering, does not pool water at the dock and lasts years longer than a generic cover from a catalog.
UV & weather resistance
Solution-dyed acrylics such as Sunbrella and marine polyester fabrics that hold their color and strength through years of Florida sun.
Breathable, waterproof construction
Fabrics that shed water yet let moisture out, so mold and mildew cannot build up underneath.
Fit that stays put
Reinforced seams, straps, poles and vents where they belong, so the cover does not flap on the highway or sag at the dock.
Protection for new upholstery
A cover made from the same patterns as your seats is the best way to protect a fresh interior.
What we do
Our Custom Cover Services
Full Boat Covers – All-Weather Protection
A custom-fitted full cover for trailering, storage and dockside use, with reinforced wear points and support poles to prevent pooling.
- Trailering: a secure fit with no flapping or tearing
- Storage: keeps dust, dirt and pests out
- Dockside: shields against UV rays and salt spray
Pontoon Boat Covers
Pontoons have the most seating to protect. We build full mooring and trailering covers with snaps, straps and vents sized to the fence and bimini layout.
- Patterned to the fence, bimini and gate layout
- Playpen-style and full trailerable options
- Matching covers for seats and the helm
T-Top Canvas, Bimini Tops & Enclosures
Shade and shelter without blocking access to the helm. We replace T-top canvas, build bimini tops and complete enclosures with clear vinyl panels.
- Custom-fit for all T-top and bimini frames
- Fade-resistant, heavy-duty canvas
- Zip-on clear vinyl side and front curtains
Console, Seat & Leaning Post Covers
Protect the parts that take the most sun: console covers, helm seat covers and leaning post covers in matching fabric.
- Keeps electronics and upholstery out of the sun
- Quick on-off fit with snaps or buckles
- Matched to your full cover or canvas
Jet Ski & PWC Covers
Personal watercraft deserve the same protection as a full-size boat. We build custom covers for Yamaha, Sea-Doo, Kawasaki and more.
- Snug fit with reinforced seams for high-speed trailering
- Waterproof, UV-resistant fabric
- Breathable to reduce condensation
Outboard Motor & Engine Covers
Salt, sun and moisture age an outboard fast. A fitted motor cover keeps the cowling and controls protected between trips.
- Fits Mercury, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda and Evinrude
- Heavy-duty, weatherproof fabric
- Secure fastening for trailering

- PTFE or bonded polyester thread so seams outlast the fabric instead of failing first.
- Stainless & plastic hardware
- Snaps, buckles, zippers and vents that do not corrode.

FAQ
Custom Marine Covers FAQ
How long does a custom boat cover last in Florida?
A Sunbrella cover that is kept clean and stored dry typically lasts five to ten years in Florida. Thread and straps are the usual wear points, and both can be replaced to extend the life of the cover.
Is a custom cover worth it compared to a universal cover?
Yes, if you keep the boat outside or trailer it. Universal covers sag, pool water and flap in the wind, which wears gelcoat and seams. A patterned cover fits tight and lasts years longer.
Can you make a cover that fits over my T-top or tower?
Yes. We pattern around T-tops, towers, rod holders, ladders and outboards so the cover fits without gaps or stress points.
Do you repair existing boat covers and canvas?
We do. Re-stitching seams, replacing zippers, snaps and clear vinyl windows is often far cheaper than a new cover if the fabric is still sound.
What colors are available?
Dozens. Sunbrella alone comes in a wide range of solids and tweeds, and we can match your bimini, hull stripe or upholstery.
