Toptex Boat Cover is a boat cover designed to solve problems. Forget everything you know about traditional PVC tarpaulins – this is the smart choice for giving your boat the best protection during winter storage.

Forget heavy, rustling tarpaulins. Toptex Boat Cover is a breathable boat cover that prevents moisture and mold from forming. It is up to 70% lighter than traditional tarpaulins, making installation a breeze. In addition, it is quieter in the wind and made from 100% recyclable polypropylene. With a 3-year warranty, you can feel confident that your boat has the best protection.

Easy installation for maximum protection

To ensure that your Toptex Boat Cover provides optimum protection, it is essential that it is fitted correctly. Ensure that the fabric is stretched tightly with a slope of at least 45° for effective drainage of water and snow.

Thanks to the unique fuzzy surface of the fabric, you can easily attach Velcro directly to the tarpaulin. Use this to create attachment points, hang weights, or secure rubber bands. This makes it easy to create space under the boat for bottom painting, for example, without having to remove the tarpaulin.

3 year guarantee

We provide a 3-year warranty for your Toptex Boat Cover. Please note that the warranty only covers manufacturing defects and does not cover damage caused by external factors, such as holes caused by sharp objects or sharp edges.

Fleece cover vs. Toptex Boat Cover: Which one should you choose?

A standard fleece sheet absorbs moisture, offers poorer UV protection and has a shorter lifespan. It could damage your boat with mold. Toptex Boat Cover instead has a unique, ventilating structure made of durable fiber threads. It provides superior protection that extends the life of both your boat cover and your boat.

Frequently asked questions about Toptex

What is the difference between this tarpaulin and a traditional one?
There are several differences:

What is the difference between this tarp and a bale cover?

There are several differences. Toptex cloths are of much higher quality when it comes to abrasion resistance, UV resistance and durability. It doesn’t crumble, and if there are holes in the canvas, it won’t get any bigger. Toptex Boat Cover is further developed to suit the boating life, counteract moisture and mold damage and last for years.

A bale covering cloth of another brand quickly shows mould and moisture damage and begins to crumble after just a few months. If there is a hole, it will quickly become larger, unlike a Toptex cloth, which has a virtually non-existent damage spread. A bale covering cloth is not recommended for boating.

How does it cope with strong autumn and winter winds?

The cloth has been tested on several boats during the autumn and winter season with several storm winds, where the results have been consistently incredible. The tarpaulins were basically untouched. This is thanks to the very durable construction, and its breathable function.

How does it cope with snow?

As long as the canvas is at an angle of at least 45 degrees, both snow and water slide off. The steeper the angle, the better. Should any snow stick to the canvas, it will drain off when the snow melts.

How do you anchor this boat tarpaulin?

There are several different ways to anchor. But regardless, you will need a cover stand of some kind to create a slope on the canvas of at least 45 degrees. This is to get an efficient drainage of water.

To anchor, we recommend using Velcro, which you advantageously attach directly to the fuzzy surface of the canvas. The Velcro can be used to fasten the cloth under the boat, or to create loops with. Either to hang weights in, or to attach ropes to which you tie under the boat. Scroll a little further down to see illustrations and instructional videos.

Is the boat tarpaulin waterproof?

Some water will penetrate the fabric, only to evaporate again thanks to its breathable properties. This keeps your boat dry and protected in all weather conditions. Unlike a traditional tarpaulin that traps moisture and water because it cannot breathe in the same way.

How does it work if you have a mast, targa booth, antenna or other protruding from the boat?

No problem at all! The canvas is excellent to cut / splice to adapt to your particular boat. Then seal it using Velcro tape. Here you can see how we joined the canvas to a sailing boat with a targa arch.
