Complete guide to Shetland 570 boat covers. Full canopy from £869 (PVC) or £979 (Acrylic). Flat covers, tonneau options, and expert fitting advice.
The Shetland 570, a beloved and versatile craft, has been a familiar sight on UK waterways for decades, from the bustling rivers of the Norfolk Broads to the tranquil canals of Scotland, and even along our diverse coastline. Owners cherish their 570s for their robust build and comfortable layout, making them ideal for both leisurely cruising and fishing expeditions. Protecting such a valuable asset from the unpredictable British weather is paramount, and a bespoke cover from UK Boat Covers offers the ultimate solution, ensuring your boat remains in pristine condition for years to come.
Here at UK Boat Covers, based in Carterton, Oxfordshire, we understand the specific needs of Shetland 570 owners. As a family-run business led by Ryan Winfield, we pride ourselves on crafting high-quality, custom-made covers that fit perfectly. Unlike many other providers, we operate with no VAT, meaning you save a significant 20% on the cost of your cover right from the start. This guide explores the various cover options available for your Shetland 570, helping you choose the best protection for your vessel.
Full Canopy Options for Your Shetland 570
A full canopy is perhaps the most comprehensive protective solution for your Shetland 570, offering complete enclosure of the cockpit area. This is invaluable for maintaining comfort during adverse weather, extending your boating season, and providing excellent security when moored. Our full canopies are meticulously designed to complement the classic lines of the 570, available in two primary material options to suit your budget and durability requirements. For a robust and cost-effective choice, our PVC marine fabric full canopies start from just £869. If you seek superior breathability, UV resistance, and a more luxurious feel, our Acrylic fabric full canopies, known for their exceptional longevity and colourfastness, are available from £979. Both options are crafted to the highest standards, ensuring a snug fit that sheds water effectively and withstands the rigours of marine environments across the UK.
Beyond the full canopy, we offer a range of alternative covers tailored to your specific needs. A flat cover, sometimes referred to as a mooring cover, provides excellent protection for the entire boat when it's not in use, keeping the deck and interior free from leaves, rain, and debris. This option is particularly popular for boats stored out of the water or for long-term winterisation. For those who desire protection for the cockpit area without the full enclosure of a canopy, a tonneau cover is an ideal choice. These covers securely fit over the cockpit, keeping the elements out while allowing easy access to the forward deck. Our tonneau covers for various boat types start from an accessible £389, providing essential protection at a great value. All our covers are designed for practical use, ensuring they are easy to fit, secure, and remove, making your boating experience more enjoyable and less about maintenance.
