Marine

With summer coming to a close, it’s time to prepare your boat for the off-season. No matter how you store your boat for the colder months, preparing your boat is essential so it’ll look pristine next summer. 

Being on the water is a wonderful experience. The one downside to a sunny day of sailing is that it can take a toll on your skin. Adventures on the water require a vessel well-equipped to provide relief from the sun. 

Your boat should be uniquely your own. Sunbrella Marine upholstery gives you the power to make your boat a perfect reflection of your personality. Our friends at Canvas Designers are taking marine aesthetics to new heights with their unique method of quilt stitching.

When it comes to boat maintenance, sometimes your boat cover requires attention too. Find out how to tell when a boat cover or top needs re-treatment and what you need to make it happen. 

When boats are your passion, Sunbrella knows you never compromise. Sunbrella offers trustworthy performance and protection for your boat. We have rounded up some of our favorite photos of your boats featuring Sunbrella fabrics. 

Getting a new boat is an exciting experience. If you’re planning for days spent on the water with family and friends, you want to make sure you have everything you’ll need for the best experience for everyone!
