Covers for Day Boats and Open Boats
Day boats and open runabouts are some of the simplest boats to cover, but getting the right fit matters just as much as it does for larger craft. An ill-fitting cover pools rain at the centre, trapping water and accelerating deterioration of the cockpit sole and seating. A bespoke cover sheds water immediately and protects the boat without any of the billowing or chafing that universal covers cause.
Full Cockpit Covers
A full cockpit cover fits over the entire open area of the day boat — from the bow rail to the transom — and is the most practical protection for boats left on moorings or stored on trailers. It covers seats, dashboard, engine controls, and the cockpit sole in a single piece. Secured with a tight hem, press studs, or buckle straps. From £363, no VAT.
Bow Covers and Partial Covers
Some day boat owners need only to cover the forward section — a bow cover that protects the forward seating area while leaving the stern accessible. We make these to fit your specific boat. From £289.
Ordering a Day Boat Cover
Post your existing cover to our Carterton workshop for an exact copy, or contact us with your boat's make, model, and year. Many common day boat models — including Fletcher Arrowflyte, Osprey Hawk, and Shetland day boats — are on our pattern file already. Get a free quote or browse by model. No VAT on any order.
