Marine Canvas & Upholstery — Built for Boats, at Krates Marina

Custom bimini tops, boat covers, enclosures, dodgers, seat re-upholstery, and interior cushions. Marine canvas specialists — not a general upholstery shop that also takes boats. On-site at Krates Marina in Keswick, serving Lake Simcoe, Georgina, Sutton, Newmarket, Aurora, and Barrie-area boat owners since 2017.

Canvas & Upholstery Built for Marine Use

Bimini Tops & Dodgers

Custom-fitted bimini tops, bimini extensions, dodgers, and hardtop covers. Marine-grade Sunbrella, stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum frames. Designed for Lake Simcoe conditions — wind loads, UV exposure, moored winter storage.

Boat Covers & Enclosures

Full mooring covers, cockpit covers, travel covers, camper tops, and full side-curtain enclosures. Pattern-fitted to your exact boat — no generic sizing. Every cover is cut and sewn for the boat it's going on.

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're ready for something that lasts longer than what came from the builder.

Built for the Conditions Your Boat Actually Lives In

General upholstery shops can sew a cover. Marine canvas specialists design one to survive the specific conditions your boat actually lives in.

We work with marine-grade materials every day: Sunbrella (industry standard, solution-dyed acrylic), Stamoid (premium PVC-coated polyester for maximum water resistance), Phifertex (breathable mesh for hot-weather seats), Sunbrella Horizon marine vinyl (UV and microbial-pinking resistant for seats and cushions), and marine-grade thread, zippers, and hardware throughout.

And we know where each one fits. Sunbrella weight choice for a moored boat versus a trailered one. Frame geometry that won't flutter at 30 knots. Seam placement that sheds water instead of trapping it. The things that take a cover from "looks good on day one" to "looks good five seasons in."

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.
