Boat Cover

I need a couple of covers made, both an overall cover and a tonneau. They will need to be custom made.
Am looking for top quality at a fair price.

Does anyone have any recomendations please - I'm in Farnborough, Hants.

Yeah! I doubt they'd want to drive up to measure up, and I don't mind towing the boat, but 155 miles each way is a bit far.

SDS have a couple of cover manufacturers at different price points. Alternatively I've seen some nice covers made by Ocean Marine but I didn't dare ask the price.

I think you might find the cover manufacturers are busy with the Southampton Boat Show.

We have used BoatyBits in Poole for our covers and they came to us and did an amazing job for a sensible price. They are often up your way and along the Thames so I am sure they could fit you in.
