Marine Canvas in Jensen Beach, FL
Bimini tops, platform covers, and deck cushions for the flats and bay boats that fish the Indian River Lagoon.
Jensen Beach sits on the Indian River Lagoon, and the boating here reflects it. This is skinny-water country — flats skiffs, technical poling boats, and bay boats built to run shallow and fish the grass flats, oyster bars, and mangrove shorelines around the Jensen Beach Causeway and north toward the Fort Pierce Inlet. These boats are lighter and lower than the offshore fleet, and their canvas needs are specific: low-profile bimini tops that don't spook fish or catch wind on a pole, covers for poling platforms and casting decks, and protection for the gear that rides on an open deck all day.
Hobe Sound Canvas builds canvas suited to that kind of boat. We make bimini tops sized and mounted to sit low and stow cleanly, poling platform covers and casting deck pads, console and electronics covers, and full covers for skiffs kept on trailers or lifts. On lagoon boats that fish shallow and get poled into tight water, canvas takes UV and salt more than it takes spray and speed, so we build with Sunbrella and UV-resistant thread and keep the profiles trim.
Jensen Beach is a short drive from our Hobe Sound shop, straight down US-1. We can template your skiff or bay boat, work out mounting that clears your platform and rod storage, and match fabric to what's already on the boat. Whether you need one worn cover replaced or a full canvas setup for a new skiff, the approach is the same — measured to the boat, built by hand, and fitted to sit clean and out of the way when you're fishing.
