When choosing a boat travel cover, consider the policy's financial limits.
Look for a policy that covers the full value of your boat, including any additional equipment or accessories.
Check if the policy includes a deductible clause, which can reduce the amount you need to pay in the event of a claim.
A good boat travel cover should also provide protection against unexpected events, such as engine failure or medical emergencies.
The policy's cancellation and amendment terms are also worth considering, as they can impact your flexibility and peace of mind.
Some policies may offer additional benefits, such as coverage for personal belongings or third-party liability.
Ultimately, the right boat travel cover for you will depend on your individual needs and circumstances.

Product Details and Quality
A quality boat cover is crucial for protecting your investment.
The quality of materials used in a boat cover is essential, especially if you plan to store your boat in the open. Higher-quality materials can withstand harsh weather conditions.
Sun-DURA marine grade polyester is an excellent choice, offering 100% solution-dyed fibers and a 7.6 oz. weight. This material provides excellent UV and mildew resistance, as well as resistance to fading and rot.
A good boat cover should also be water-repellent and breathable to allow interior moisture to escape.
Shoretex
Shoretex is a type of fabric that's known for its durability and water resistance. It's made from a combination of polyester and nylon.
Shoretex is often used in outdoor gear, such as jackets and pants, because it can withstand rough conditions like wind and rain.

Verify Materials Quality Before Purchase

You can find a quality chart on each cover to help you make a decision. The quality of the cover you need depends on how you plan to store your boat. If you're storing your boat in the open, you'll need higher-quality materials. You can probably save money by investing in a lower-quality material if you have a boat shed that protects your boat.
Excellent Quality
If you're looking for a high-quality boat cover, you'll want to check the materials used. A quality cover will depend on how you plan to store your boat, with higher-quality materials needed for open storage and lower-quality materials okay for a boat shed.
A 7.6 oz., 600 x 600 Denier marine grade polyester is considered excellent quality, providing excellent UV and mildew resistance.
Sun-DURA colors are integrated into the polyester fiber itself, giving the color a deeper, more even tone. This is a big plus for boat owners who want their cover to look great for years to come.

A perfect fit is crucial, especially for bass boats, where covers need to stay put and provide excellent protection from the elements. Our sizing options ensure a secure and snug fit, no matter your boat type.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a travel cover for a boat?

What is the difference between a mooring cover and a travel cover?
