Built with Sunbrella Marine.
The industry standard for offshore sailboat covers, yacht enclosures, and marine upholstery worldwide. There is no better outdoor fabric for protecting your hull.
Designed for canoes that live outdoors.
- Hull-specific patterning Cut to your canoe’s exact make and model from our library of hundreds of patterns. The cover follows your hull’s contours — no excess fabric collecting rain, no gaps letting UV through.
- Buckle and strap closure Quick-release buckles and adjustable webbing straps wrap under the hull to hold the cover in place through wind, rain, and snow. No zippers to corrode. No elastic to stretch out.
- Reinforced stitching and edge binding All seams sewn with Amann Outdoor Pro thread and finished with heavy-duty, UV-resistant edge binding. Built to hold up under punishing sunlight and years of outdoor exposure.
- Custom color options Choose a solid color, contrasting bow, or contrasting bow and stern. Six Sunbrella Marine colors available: Cadet Grey, Jockey Red, Pacific Blue, Emerald Green, Sunflower Yellow, and Bright Orange.
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.
Two covers. Different jobs.
Both are patterned to your hull. Both use premium materials. The difference is what you need the cover to do.

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.
