Boat Covers & Marine Canvas in North Port, FL
The best way to protect a boat is to keep the weather off it. We build custom covers, bimini tops, enclosures and marine canvas that fit right and stand up to the Florida sun.
North Port, FL
What we solve for you
A good cover is the cheapest insurance a boat owner can buy. It keeps the sun off your upholstery, the rain out of your cockpit, and the dock grime off everything in between. The catch is that an off-the-shelf cover never fits quite right, so it flaps, pools water and wears out fast. Custom canvas solves that.
We design and sew boat covers, bimini tops, full enclosures, T-top canvas and more, measured and fitted to your exact boat. We use marine-grade canvas and UV-stable thread so the work survives the same sun and salt that destroys cheaper material. We also handle covers and sun shades for aircraft and other gear that lives outside.
Custom boat covers
Cockpit, bow and full-boat covers cut and fitted to your exact boat, snug and watertight.
Bimini tops

T-top & hardtop canvas
Canvas, covers and shade for center consoles and hardtops.
Marine canvas repair
Restitch seams, replace zippers and windows, and fix tears before they spread.
Aircraft & gear covers
Custom covers and sun shades for aircraft and anything else that lives outside.
Why GVO Classic
Canvas that actually fits and lasts
A cover only protects your boat if it fits right and survives the sun. Here is how we build ours.
Measured to your boat
We fit canvas to your exact boat so it stays snug, sheds water and does not flap itself to pieces on the highway.
Marine-grade materials
UV-resistant canvas, UV-stable thread and quality hardware that take the Florida sun and salt season after season.
Protects what is underneath
Good canvas keeps sun and rain off your seats and electronics, so your whole boat lasts longer and looks better.
