Frequently Asked Questions about Boat Covers in Gothenburg
The price of a new custom-made boat cover varies depending on the size of the boat, the type of cover (sprayhood, cockpit cover, boom cover, etc.), the number of windows, the choice of fabric, and the level of detail. For many cover manufacturers, the price range is approximately between 16,000–89,000 SEK including VAT.
Several factors influence the price:
The boat's length and width — larger boat → more fabric → higher price.
Type of canopy: sprayhood, cockpit canopy, full aft canopy, etc.
Number and type of windows/panes — more or larger windows increase the price.
Fabric quality and materials — premium fabrics, UV resistance, water resistance, etc.
Sanding — if the chapel has to be sanded directly on the boat → more work.
Additional details: zippers, arches, reinforcements.
It depends on how much needs to be done. Minor repairs such as window replacement, zippers, or seams can be cost-effective. But if the canopy is very worn—in poor condition, with many worn parts or outdated fabric—a new canopy may be more economical in the long run. A new production provides both a better fit and a longer life.
Delivery times vary depending on the season and the complexity of the canopy, but production time is normally 2–6 weeks. During peak season, you should book well in advance.
Yes — in order for a custom-made canopy to fit perfectly, it is strongly recommended that the canopy maker templates directly on the boat. This ensures a proper fit and that the canopy effectively protects against rain, wind, and splashes.
For Nordic conditions, we recommend premium fabrics with UV resistance, water repellency, and high durability. Fabrics used by reliable awning manufacturers are more resistant to sunlight, salt water, rain, and wind, giving the awning a long service life.
With the right materials and foam, our cushions often last 4-15 years depending on use and climate. Marine-grade fabrics and premium foams significantly extend the lifespan compared to original cushions from many boat manufacturers.
With the right fabric, proper sewing, and regular maintenance, a boat cover can last 10–15 years or more. However, the lifespan is greatly affected by use, care, sun, and salt—which is why quality and fit are crucial.
Yes. If your existing canopy is still in good shape, we can use it as a template and manufacture a brand new canopy with more modern materials, stronger seams, and an improved fit. If the old template is worn out, we will instead painting directly on the boat, ensuring that the new canopy is perfectly tailored to your specific boat model.
We manufacture all types of custom-made canopies, including sprayhood, cockpit chapel, bomb shelter, rear canopy, harbor chapel, transport canopy and covers for both motorboats and sailboats. Everything is tailor-made, fully customized for your boat and produced in premium fabrics that can withstand the West Coast climate.
