Made to Measure Tonneau Covers in Chichester

Year-Round Cover for Chichester Boats

The Chichester Harbour near Chichester is used year-round by boat owners who moor between the active cruising season and leave their boats on coastal moorings through the quieter months. A cover that was adequate for summer use often fails during West Sussex's wet and cold months — seams split, windows cloud and crack, and zips corrode when a cover is left under load for extended periods.

Our tonneau covers are built specifically for the conditions your boat will face on the Chichester Harbour. We use double-sewn seams with anti-wick thread, UV-stable fabrics that won't bleach or become brittle over successive seasons, and heavy-duty YKK marine zips that resist corrosion. If your cruising takes you between the Chichester Harbour and Chichester Canal, your cover is also tested against a wider range of conditions — an argument for choosing the heavier PVC option, which handles both protected and exposed stretches without compromise.

Tonneau Covers Prices for Chichester Boat Owners

Custom tonneau covers for inland waterway boats start from £329 — no VAT charged. A straightforward day-boat tonneau sits at the lower end of the range; a complex aft-cockpit cover with multiple tie-down points, zips, or integral fender pockets costs a little more. All prices include UK-wide tracked delivery and stainless steel or bungee fixings. We can also repair existing tonneau covers from £89.

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

Marine Fabrics & Materials

We make tonneau covers in heavy-duty marine PVC (best for permanent mooring and winter storage) or marine acrylic (preferred for breathability on live-aboard boats). Both fabrics are UV-resistant and waterproof, with double-sewn seams and anti-wick thread throughout. Fixings are heavy-duty press studs or bungee cord loops chosen to match your boat's existing deck hardware, so no drilling is required.

For Chichester 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 Chichester Harbour.
