Marine Canvas in Jupiter, FL

Boats in Jupiter live in the sun. The run out the Jupiter Inlet is short and exposed, the offshore fishing starts close, and there is very little shade between the dock and the fishing grounds. Add the reflected glare off the water near the inlet and the lighthouse, and canvas here ages faster than it does almost anywhere else on the Treasure Coast. Thread is usually the first thing to go — seams let loose while the fabric still looks serviceable — followed by fading and stretch in the panels that face south all afternoon.

Hobe Sound Canvas builds and replaces the canvas that Jupiter boats depend on for shade and protection: bimini tops for center consoles and dual consoles, T-top canvas and spray shields for offshore boats, full mooring and travel covers, and console and helm covers for boats kept on lifts along the Loxahatchee River and behind homes on Jupiter Island. We build with marine-grade Sunbrella and UV-resistant thread, and we use stainless hardware throughout so the frame and fittings outlast the fabric.

Jupiter is a straight shot down US-1 from our Hobe Sound shop. We can template your boat, talk through fabric colors and how much coverage you want, and turn the work around without a long drive on either end. Whether it is a single worn panel or a full canvas package for a new-to-you boat, we handle it the same way — measured to the boat, built by hand, and fitted so it sets tight without flapping at speed.
