Canoe Coat

Protective Covers

Sunbrella Marine protection for outdoor storage. Patterned to your hull. Built to stay.

The cover that stays on your canoe all season — because the fabric can take it.

The Canoe Coat wraps your hull in Sunbrella Marine fabric — the same material specified for offshore sailboat covers, carrying a 10-year warranty against UV degradation. It secures with quick-release buckles and webbing straps, and one person can put it on or take it off in about 60 seconds. Patterned to your canoe’s specific hull design from our library of hundreds of patterns.

If your canoe lives outdoors — on a rack, under a tree, through a frigid Michigan winter or a scorching Texas summer — the Canoe Coat is the cover we recommend. Sunbrella blocks 100% of UV light, sheds rain, and breathes to release trapped moisture and heat. Wood gunwales, wood-and-canvas boats, and any hull that stays outside year-round deserve this level of protection.

The Canoe Coat is designed for storage, not transport. For a cover that’s rated for highway speeds, see our Original Canoe Cover.

Made to order in our Michigan loft. Shipped when it’s right, not when it’s fast.

Outdoor Storage

Your hull versus the elements. Year-round.

UV damage is the single biggest threat to a canoe stored outdoors. It degrades gelcoat, darkens Kevlar, breaks down adhesives, and fades finishes — damage that accumulates steadily until the hull is noticeably aged. Add rain pooling, freeze-thaw cycles, road grit from nearby traffic, tree sap, bird droppings, and pollen, and an unprotected canoe ages measurably every season.

Sunbrella Marine blocks 100% of UV light and sheds rain while breathing to prevent the moisture buildup that breeds mildew. The solution-dyed acrylic fabric holds its color for a decade because the pigment is in the fiber, not on it. A canoe under a Canoe Coat looks and performs the way it did when the cover went on — season after season.

If you own a wood-and-canvas canoe, a boat with wood gunwales, or any hull that lives outdoors between paddles, the Canoe Coat is the best outdoor storage cover you can get.

We make perfect patterns from measurements.

Our pattern library covers hundreds of canoe models, but we add new ones regularly. If your canoe isn’t listed in our library, follow the measurement guide and we’ll create a perfect custom pattern for your hull.

For one-off and most out-of-production hulls, a one-time $40 patterning fee covers the additional design work.
