Our covers include heavy-duty marine PVC or breathable acrylic canvas, anti-wick thread, and stainless steel fittings. The final price depends on the length of your narrowboat, the number of features (doors, windows, cratch boards), and which fabric you choose. We can also patch or repair existing narrowboat covers from £89.
For Barnstaple boat owners mooring on the River Taw, our no-VAT pricing represents a saving of at least £58 on a starting-price narrowboat cover compared to a VAT-registered supplier — and often considerably more on larger or more complex covers.

Cover Styles for River Taw Boats
Motor cruisers and river boats on the River Taw near Barnstaple vary widely in cockpit style and cover requirements. We make narrowboat covers for open-cockpit river cruisers, boats with canopies fitted to a frame, and narrowboats requiring full-length tonneau sections.
If you cruise the Taw Estuary as well as the River Taw, 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 Barnstaple customers don't need to choose a different cover for different stretches.

Marine Fabrics & Materials
Narrowboat covers need to withstand constant wind, rain, and UV exposure on the canal. We use 400 g/m² marine PVC for maximum waterproofing, or Sunbrella acrylic for superior breathability — ideal for narrowboats that are lived on year-round. All seams are double-sewn with anti-wick thread, and all zips are heavy-duty YKK marine grade. Fixings are stainless steel press studs or bungee cord loops to suit your existing fittings.
For Barnstaple boats mooring year-round on the River Taw, the choice between PVC and acrylic usually comes down to whether breathability (acrylic) or maximum waterproofing (PVC) is the priority — Ryan is happy to advise based on your specific mooring and how frequently you use the boat.
