Made to Measure Cratch Covers in Penzance

Cratch Covers Prices for Penzance Boat Owners

Cratch covers start from £329 — no VAT charged. The price depends on the size of the cratch frame, the number of windows and ventilation panels, and whether you need a door section. We can also repair existing cratch covers — window replacements start from £89 and zip repairs from £49. All new covers include UK-wide tracked delivery.

For Penzance boat owners mooring on the Penzance Harbour, our no-VAT pricing represents a saving of at least £66 on a starting-price cratch cover compared to a VAT-registered supplier — and often considerably more on larger or more complex covers.

How to Order Cratch Covers from Penzance

Our postal copy service means Penzance boat owners don't need to visit our workshop in person. Here is how it works:

1. Step 1 — Post your cover: Post your existing cratch cover to our Carterton, Oxfordshire workshop. We use it as an exact template — no measuring from your boat is needed.
2. Step 2 — We make your cover: We build a bespoke copy using your old cover as a precise pattern, replacing any worn windows, broken zips, or failed fixings. You can request fabric colour changes at this stage.
3. Step 3 — Receive your cover: Your new cratch cover is dispatched by tracked courier within 6 working days, ready to fit back onto your cratch frame without any modifications.

Marine Fabrics & Materials

Cratch covers are exposed to the elements year-round at the bow of the boat. We use heavy-duty marine PVC or breathable acrylic canvas with welded or sewn window panels, UV-resistant thread, and heavy-duty YKK zips. All materials are chosen to handle both the wet of canal spray and the internal condensation that builds up in a lived-in cratch. We can add ventilation panels on request.

For Penzance boats in coastal or tidal locations, we recommend 400 g/m² marine PVC over acrylic canvas — PVC handles salt spray and stronger coastal UV without the accelerated deterioration that affects lighter fabrics in exposed positions on the Penzance Harbour.

Cover Styles for Penzance Harbour Boats

Boats at Penzance range from sheltered-harbour launches to seagoing motor cruisers, each with different cover requirements. Open-cockpit boats typically need a full cockpit cover; boats with a wheelhouse usually need a separate front spray deflector and, sometimes, side curtains. We make all these styles from existing canvas templates.

If you cruise the Mount's Bay as well as the Penzance Harbour, you may encounter different weather and exposure conditions. Our fabric options — marine PVC and acrylic canvas — both perform across the full range of inland waterway conditions, so Penzance customers don't need to choose a different cover for different stretches.
