Marine Canvas & Upholstery for Georgian Bay Boats

Canvas & Upholstery for Georgian Bay Boats

Bimini Tops & Dodgers

Custom-fitted bimini tops, extensions, and dodgers built for Georgian Bay sun and wind. Marine-grade Sunbrella, stainless or powder-coated aluminum frames. Geometry tuned for the open-water gusts you actually run in, not a sheltered harbour.

Boat Covers & Enclosures

Mooring covers, cockpit covers, travel covers, and full side-curtain enclosures pattern-fitted to your boat. Built to handle Georgian Bay storage realities: hard UV all summer, freeze-thaw all winter, and the kind of wind that finds every loose seam.

Seat Re-Upholstery & Interior Cushions

Cockpit seats, helm seats, interior settees, V-berth cushions, and custom inserts. Match OEM for a factory look, or upgrade materials when you want something that holds up longer than what came from the builder.

How Canvas Work Happens for Georgian Bay Boats

Our canvas shop is at Krates Marina in Keswick on Lake Simcoe. For boats based in Port Severn, Honey Harbour, Midland, Penetanguishene, or the Severn / Coldwater corridor, that is the closer of our two canvas shops. If hauling the boat is not practical, we can arrange pickup. No sending a cover to a far-off shop and waiting for it to come back.

Georgian Bay is hard on canvas. Long sun exposure, hard wind off open water, freeze-thaw cycling on stored covers, and a season that runs from chilly spring shakedowns to late-fall haulout. We pick fabric weight, frame geometry, and seam placement for those conditions specifically. A cover that ships water in November is a cover that grows mildew by April.

When your boat comes to Keswick, canvas is not the only thing we can handle. The same team can coordinate detailing, fiberglass, and winterization, so a single drop-off can cover work you would otherwise be coordinating across several vendors.

Right Material, Right Application

We match the right material to the right application, and we stand behind the workmanship regardless of which fabric we use.

FAQ

How far in advance should I book canvas work for Georgian Bay?

Spring peak (March through May) typically books 3–4 weeks out for new builds. Off-season (late fall through early spring) is faster. Repairs are often quicker than new builds. If you're targeting a specific launch date, the earlier you reach out the better.

Do I have to bring my boat to Keswick, or can you arrange pickup?

Most measure-and-fit work happens at our Keswick shop with the boat in. For boats that cannot be hauled there, we can arrange pickup and work out the logistics when we quote.

What materials hold up best on Georgian Bay specifically?

Sunbrella for shade and full canvas, Stamoid for clear enclosure window panels (more UV-resistant than standard vinyl), and Sunbrella Horizon for marine vinyl seating. The Materials & Warranty section above has the full breakdown by application and warranty term.

Do you do warranty repairs on canvas you didn't make?

Yes for most cases. Send photos with measurements and we'll quote the repair. We don't honor other shops' warranties, but we can repair almost any marine canvas: restitching, zipper replacement, panel patching, frame work, window replacement.

Can you do canvas plus other work in the same visit?

Yes. One drop-off at Keswick can cover canvas, detailing, fiberglass, or winterization under one team. You don't need to coordinate three vendors for one boat.
