Made to Measure Tonneau Covers in Gillingham

Cover Styles for River Medway Boats

Motor cruisers and river boats on the River Medway near Gillingham vary widely in cockpit style and cover requirements. We make tonneau covers for open-cockpit river cruisers, boats with canopies fitted to a frame, and narrowboats requiring full-length tonneau sections.

If you cruise the Medway Estuary as well as the River Medway, 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 Gillingham customers don't need to choose a different cover for different stretches.

Tonneau Covers Prices for Gillingham 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 Gillingham boat owners mooring on the River Medway, 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 Gillingham boats mooring year-round on the River Medway, 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.
