Custom Boat Covers... Designed for trailing

Which Ones Are Durable…
And Which Ones Fall Apart When You Trail Down The Highway


Our covers last 7-10 years... Industry norm is 5 years.



Unlike our competitors, you don’t have to run back and forth with your boat while we order fabric.
We have everything in stock and there’s no cutting fee! We give you a telephone estimate, or when you bring your boat in, an exact quote before you leave.We schedule your boat in on Monday and the cover is finished by Friday.Your boat is kept in our boat house, so it is locked up and out of the weather.


Sailors Tailor Motoboat Cover

Our customers have referred to our boat covers with words such as “legendary quality”, “revolutionary designs”, and "unparalleled workmanship". Thousands of Sailors’ Tailor covers are sold nationally each year and that has gained us nationwide recognition for high quality, good value, and unmatched workmanship. We definitely are the trendsetters...cover makers across the country as well as locally have imitated our designs, but have not been able to equal them. Since 14-17 hours of sewing time are needed to produce a Sailors’ Tailor powerboat cover, we question whether anyone else can give you equally detailed workmanship in 1 day. Our prices are competitive, and they reflect our 2+ days of sewing and fitting. We are giving you 17 hours worth of sewing and fitting to produce a cover that will last and last. If you are paying a similar amount, but only are getting 7 hours worth of sewing, can you possibly be getting as much cover for your money elsewhere? Please come in and let us show you exactly what we put into a cover that you cannot get anywhere else.

Get A Cover That Fits And That Doesn’t Require All Those Ugly Crooked Rows Of Snaps
We guarantee your boat cover will fit perfectly—even if you’re trailing it along the highway coast to coast! No more shredding! Our poles hold your cover at a perfect water-shedding peak. Our competitors use bows that eventually invert, inviting water retention and accelerated cover deterioration. Our one-of-a-kind screened Ultra Vents are strategically placed for optimum trailing. Plus, our Ultra Vents are hooded with poly army duck to best deflect rain while deterring insects. We use draw cord in our hems to complete the custom fit. Our concealed adjustable snaps have three reinforcement layers prepared to take a beating. Other makers drill snap holes and load your boat with unsightly crooked snap rows that eventually smash into the dock, rendering them useless.
