Keeping your boat in top shape requires more than just regular maintenance—it begins with the right protection. At Boatman Marine Canvas, we provide expert-designed boat canvas covers custom-built for Oklahoma’s weather and your vessel’s needs.
The Value of Quality Canvas Covers for Your Boat
Weather Resistance is Key in Oklahoma
Oklahoma weather is unpredictable—ranging from scorching sun to high winds and heavy rain. A poor-quality or ill-fitting cover simply won’t stand up to the elements long-term.
Custom canvas covers are specifically made to shield your boat from UV rays, dust, rain, and even hail. This protection helps prevent fading, mould, and mechanical issues.
A Canvas Cover Saves You Money
Neglecting boat protection often leads to costly repairs. Covers help prevent cracked upholstery, rusting, and water damage.
A durable cover from a reputable brand like Boatman Marine Canvas preserves the value of your investment. You’ll spend far less on future refurbishments or replacements.

Precision Tailoring for a Perfect Fit

Whether you own a pontoon, fishing boat, or ski boat, you'll get a snug fit that doesn't flap, sag, or leave gaps.This reduces wear and makes for easier application and removal.

Common Boat Types We Cover
Pontoon Boats
These boats benefit from full enclosures and tight-fitting travel covers. Boatman Marine Canvas can also integrate zippered access points for ease of use.
Bass Boats
With their low profile, bass boats need covers that won’t flap during trailering. A custom canvas cover ensures aerodynamic performance and no moisture intrusion.
Wake Boats & Ski Boats
Protect tower structures and custom features with specialised designs. Our covers accommodate racks, bimini tops, and more without compromising coverage.
What to Consider When Buying a Custom Canvas Cover
Material Strength
Not all canvas is created equal. Look for marine-grade fabrics like:
Sunbrella
Top Gun
WeatherMax
These materials resist UV, mould, and tears, ideal for Oklahoma's changing climate.
Stitching and Seams
Poor stitching leads to fast deterioration. Boatman uses UV-resistant threads and reinforced seams for extra strength.
Secure Fastening Systems
From heavy-duty zips to snap fasteners and drawcords, the right fastening ensures your cover stays in place. Ask about your fastening options during the consultation.
Tips for Extending Your Canvas Cover’s Life
Clean regularly using mild soap and water. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
Dry completely before folding and storing.
Store indoors during the off-season.
Inspect often for signs of wear and tear, especially after storms.
Proper care can extend a cover's life by years—saving you money in the long run.
