Boat Enclosures & Clear Vinyl in North Port, FL
An enclosure lets you run in wind, rain and cool mornings. We build full canvas enclosures with clear vinyl windows and replace cloudy, cracked panels.
North Port, FL
A canvas enclosure turns an open helm into a space you can use in more weather, keeping wind, rain and spray out while you run. The clear vinyl windows are what make it work, and they are also the part that clouds, yellows and cracks over time.
We build full enclosures and helm curtains, and we replace clouded or split clear vinyl in enclosures you already have. Everything is fitted to your boat with quality zippers and hardware so it seals, rolls and stores the way it should.
This is part of our boat covers & canvas service. Related reading: Bimini top vs boat cover vs enclosure.

Keep the clear vinyl clear
Clear vinyl is the first thing to go on an enclosure, hazing and cracking in the sun long before the canvas does. Replacing just the windows often restores an enclosure for less than rebuilding it. Our guide comparing biminis, covers and enclosures explains what each one does.
Questions
Frequently asked
Can you replace just the clear vinyl windows?+
Often, yes. If the canvas is still good but the clear vinyl has clouded or cracked, we replace just the windows, which costs less than a new enclosure.
What is the difference between a bimini, a cover and an enclosure?+
A bimini gives overhead shade, a cover protects the boat when it is parked, and an enclosure closes in the helm so you can run in more weather. Our guide breaks down each one.
Will an enclosure let me use the boat in the rain?+
It keeps wind, rain and spray off the helm so you stay drier and more comfortable running in weather. It is not a sealed cabin, but it makes a big difference.
