Buckingham 25 boat covers
Check the cabin-to-canopy join, aft cockpit and fastening positions before choosing replacement canvas.
UK Boat Covers makes fully bespoke boat canopies for river cruisers, narrowboats and canal boats across the United Kingdom. Every canopy is hand-crafted in marine-grade PVC or Sunbrella Acrylic fabric to exactly match your boat's measurements — no VAT charged. Our postal copy service means you can post your old canopy to us and we'll replicate it precisely, with a dispatch timing agreed before ordering.
Start with your boat's model, then check its existing cover, framework and fittings. These guides explain the photos and details needed for a cover-only quote.
Check the cabin-to-canopy join, aft cockpit and fastening positions before choosing replacement canvas.
Compare a replacement canopy with a lower cockpit tonneau and assess whether your old cover can be copied.
Plan connected roof, side and rear panels together, including windows and the zips you use for boarding.
Check your current cockpit enclosure and fittings. A pattern from another Princess model may not suit your boat.

We fabricate the canopy cover itself — the fabric panels, windows, roll-up sides, and fastenings. We do not supply or install the steel or aluminium framework. If you already have a frame in good condition, we can make a replacement cover to fit it exactly using your old canopy as a template. If you need a new frame alongside the cover fabric, a local marine fabricator or chandler can supply and fit the frame; we then make the cover to suit once the frame dimensions are confirmed.
Boat canopies sit at a higher price point than flat covers because each panel must be cut and heat-welded around a frame profile, and clear PVC windows require a different seam technique from standard fabric joins. If your budget is tighter, a tonneau cover or cockpit cover provides weather protection without the canopy's framework cost. Need your existing canopy repaired rather than replaced? See our canopy repair service.
